"I need it" is a spell , Rebecca, the heroine of "Confessions of a Shopaholic" released during the economic crisis, is such a cursed girl who can fully show everyone the magic of this spell. When a girl is broken in love and needs an interview, When you need to feel warmth, when people need to feel respect, when you need to be on TV, a voice pops out from deep in her heart and says to it, "You need XX" and then she rushes into a store and buys it for herself A bunch of cosmetics, buy a silk scarf or a skirt. So in the end, all of her more than a dozen credit cards were maxed out, and she was chased by debt collectors to the TV station, making a fool of herself in the public, losing love, losing friends, almost on the verge of bankruptcy and unemployment, relying on lies, escape, and play. She woke up suddenly when cleverness and opportunism couldn't save her. Of course, the ending of the movie is beautiful and shallow as usual, reflecting the usual stupid optimism of Americans. But I think optimism is good, but every such Hollywood-made movie should actually be like printing a warning on a cigarette box. At the end of the movie, when the heroine and the heroine kiss, they can A line was typed in the lower right corner of the screen: "Trust me, you won't be lucky with this kind of shit."
Should we blame shopaholics like Rebecca? This is of course easy and simple, but it is unfair to attribute all of this to weak personal will, strong vanity, and not knowing the personal reasons for controlling greed. In this world, no one is born as a shopaholic. All shopaholics are cultivated by our society. First of all, the mainstream values stipulated by our society are the values that everyone advocates for success and wealth. Everyone will be drawn into the rules of the game to participate in competition and comparison. This has caused incomparable anxiety and insecurity deep in the hearts of modern urbanites. Therefore, everyone finds themselves a sense of security in various ways, and the young Rebecca chose to arm themselves with clothes. In fact, this is easy to understand. Looking at the things advertised in our magazines, businessmen are using media and advertisements to sell their products with such tactics: firstly, it will blow your self-confidence and tell you how good you are. Not perfect, your legs are too thick, you are overweight, and you have small pimples on your face. Then when you hit your confidence on the ground and stepped on your feet again, your inner anxiety burned so that you could not fall asleep, they would tell you in a most intimate manner that you love you the most, what you need now, and what you need. That bottle of expensive cosmetics, you need to lose weight, you need that green silk scarf to show your taste to your future boss, you need this, you need that, if you have all of this, you are like Cinderella When you become a princess, you will be respected and loved by others, and you will no longer be anxious or insecure. If you don't have money, you may only be able to learn to adjust your own psychology, read books, fish and other ways to relieve anxiety. Your money will be stored in the bank, and they will not be enough to buy anything anyway. However, the devil won't let you have no money. He can send you a magic card. Is it so easy to get, not enough? It’s okay, we’ll give you the second and third pictures..., “It’s an old man’s job to store money in a bank”, “You shouldn’t wait for young people”, “Endless material desire is a normal human desire, and it’s right to suppress it. "Battery of body and mind", various concepts such as this, appear repeatedly in newspapers and media every day, bombarding people in turn. Imagine that before Rebecca grew up as a shopaholic, she received this kind of education. Then, is it not normal for a girl who has not been involved in the world to become a shopaholic one day?
Perhaps, Rebecca’s story is not a common phenomenon in China, but look around us, look at our various magazines, the media is instilling in us the concept, think about the various advertisements of the bank, think It has become easier and easier to get a credit card in China. In fact, you will find that China’s today is the United States’ yesterday, and today’s Rebecca in the United States is also China’s future generation of young people. . Therefore, I personally have no blame for shopaholics. At best, they are just victims of their inner fragility. But I think, if one day, I really have my own daughter, maybe I will not only tell her the story of Little Red Riding Hood, but also tell her about other things. For example, Grandma Wolf is not the best in the world. Terribly monster, because you know it is a wolf after all. Really terrifying monsters in this world, they may not wear wolf skins, they wear PRADA. My dear child, you must learn to keep your eyes open, distinguish all these temptations and tricks, and be yourself, strong, confident, and intelligent.
