Bipolar disorder, also known as bipolar disorder, is a type of mood disorder, known in English as Bipolar Disorder (BP), which refers to a type of disorder that has both manic and depressive episodes. (Baidu Encyclopedia)
If you think of bipolar disorder as depression, you are misunderstanding both. People with bipolar disorder not only have the same symptoms of "depressive episodes" as depressed patients, but also have symptoms of "manic episodes", and patients will occasionally have two diametrically opposed symptoms, or even mixed episodes.
In depressive episodes, the same symptoms as depressed patients will occur, such as low mood, self-denial, suicidal tendencies; slow thinking, memory loss; difficulty getting along with others, loss of life expectations; drowsiness, decreased appetite.
During a manic episode, the person is judged to be in a depressed episode, with high emotions, optimism, enthusiasm, and positivity; quick thinking, creativity, and talent; more speech, more sharing, and hope for life; little sleep but full of energy, sometimes irritable.
During the intermittent period between the two symptoms, the patient returns to calm and stability and becomes a normal person.
Two extreme symptoms occur in the same person, and the patient's emotions are like a seesaw of "ice and fire", sometimes depressed, sometimes manic, and rarely calm.
"Only Love Can Make Me Survive" was released in Japan on November 9, 2018, directed by Mitsuto Sekine, starring Kirito and Sugata Shoko, with a Douban rating of 7.4.
Ning Zi in the movie "Only Love Can Make Me Survive" is a bipolar disorder patient, living with her boyfriend for three years, she is plagued by illness, sleepiness makes it difficult to go out of the house, can only rely on her boyfriend Tsunagi, but emotionally unstable, she is full of complaints and dissatisfaction with her boyfriend.
Ningzi found a part-time job, and she decided to change, full of expectations for life and gratitude to others, but suddenly fell into pain and sadness, crying and running away.
The boyfriend caught up with Ningzi, and the two of them hugged and cried as they gradually regained their composure.
"Only Love Can Make Me Survive" is adapted from the love novel of the same name that won the Keiko Wasagawa Award and the Mishima Yukio Award, focusing on the life of the bipolar Ningzi and her boyfriend, but the film does not overemphasize "bipolar disorder" and does not expect the audience to treat the film as a documentary of the life of the "patient", but tells the story of the bipolar person, telling the story of struggling in a repressive society.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > is already exhausted just to be alive, let alone dream</h1>
Ning Zi lay on the bed and opened her eyes with difficulty, and she and her sister on the other end of the phone asked early, even though it was already 4 p.m. Clothes, food and other items in the room were placed in a mess, and Ningzi's life was chaotic and aimless, and sleeping occupied most of the time.
"Depression" accompanies Ning Zi most of the time, unable to live normally, sleepiness, not going out, not working, picky boyfriend, because of the trip to be grumpy, want to cook for her boyfriend, she can only sit on the ground and cry, even when working, even bad dishes...
We can't blame Ning Zi for not being strong, because in the face of disease, anyone can be easily defeated. Just surviving has consumed most of the energy, even if you try your best, it is difficult to live a normal life, in such a situation, relying on strength alone is far from enough.
According to the original intention of the original author of the novel and the director of the film, we can spread the "depressed" Ningzi to everyone who is struggling to support in society. Ningzi's boyfriend Tsunaki originally wanted to become a writer, but accidentally reported "erotic gossip news" in the newspaper, colleagues' earlier reports also killed female stars, and even the news exposing the truth of corruption in the Olympic Games was also suppressed by the boss, when the reality and ideals are getting farther and farther away, Tsunagi gradually lost the joy of life in the busyness of daily overtime.
"I can't stand it, I really can't do it, I'm really tired, just living is exhausted." 」 Tsunagi confided in his helplessness after his efforts, and also spoke of the helplessness of people under the pressure of life. People now seem to be becoming more and more vulnerable, and the early train that has not caught up, the mobile phone that has fallen to the ground, and the plan rejected by the leader can become the "last straw that overwhelms the camel", not because we are too fragile, but because the pressure is too high.
< h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > even if the head is broken and bleeding, it must run forward</h1>
The night Tsunaki fell in love with Ningzi, Ningzi's head was broken, but she chose to run in blood, and under the background of the night, the blue skirt that rose and fell with the wind was particularly attractive.
When "mania" occupies Ningzi's life, life is full of fun and everything is full of hope. When Tsunegi's ex-girlfriend tries her best to find a part-time job for her, Ningzi is not angry, but uses it as an opportunity for a new life; when the boss and the boss lady regard Ningzi as a family, her excitement and happiness overflow into words, chattering about her secrets...
Ning Zi is full of energy and expectations, like sometimes we, under the shower head, receive the most sacred baptism, want to say goodbye to the past muddled self at one time; for tomorrow's work, set a few alarm clocks to remind themselves to get up early; after getting a little encouragement from colleagues, they also forget the hardships when working; the boss's sentence "as their own relatives" is enough to put themselves out...
"Manic" Ning Zi is like a mirror, clearly illuminating everyone who has just entered society, every person with expectations and dreams. Tsunagi, who reported on "erotic gossip news" in the newspaper, once wanted to become a writer, and a manga artist was the original dream of his colleagues, but it is undeniable that they were all prepared and did their best for their ideals.
The people who ultimately realize their dreams seem to be "geniuses", but they are also "crazy". Van Gogh, Beethoven, Schumann nietzsche, Goethe and others are probably the so-called "left-handed madman, right-handed genius". The inspiration, kinetic energy, and creativity brought by "mania" are enough to support people to complete one achievement or another, but the state of high-pitched excitement is accompanied by rapid and massive consumption, and most people have not reached the other side of their dreams.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > calm down in order to hug yourself and your loved one</h1>
At the end of the film, Tsunagi, who has lost her job, and Ningzi, who has run away crying, meet on the rooftop, and after the two reveal their deepest secrets, they both return to calm, snuggle up to each other, and rely on each other.
"If you want to leave me, you can be separated from me, but I can't be separated from myself for the rest of my life." Tsunagi is a boring person, and is more of a "boring" Amizu and obedient to Ningzi, and does not further ask Ningzi for reasons for depression or mania. Ningzi desperately wants Tsunoki to understand herself, but she doesn't want to drag each other down anymore, but when Tsunoko says that she likes Ninko's bravery and runs forward, the two gradually return to peace, and mutual companionship is already the best love for each other.
It is impossible for us to leave one person in this life, that is, ourselves, and rather than ningko wanting to be recognized through Tsunagi's understanding, it is better to say that ningko wants to reconcile with her not so good self, with her somewhat cumbersome self.
Ning Zi has not been diagnosed in the hospital, "depression" is only from her mouth, in the eyes of the people around her, she is just a drag on her boyfriend's "waste", is an insult to people who work hard; "manic" at some times gave Ning Zi the expectations of life, she also worked hard with great interest, and thanked everyone who helped her.
She woke up again and again in the struggle, brave in the cowardice again and again, under the repeated torture of the two extreme situations, Ning Zi finally explored the mystery of calm, and finally could appreciate the comfort brought by "normal".
"Depression" and "mania" are the two extreme sides of a person, but "calming" down is the most true self, will not be because of the setbacks encountered in life and head downhill, nor will it be because of the blind pursuit of dreams and excessive consumption of themselves, maintain the balance of the "ice and fire" seesaw, and find the right dimension for yourself in the two extremes of life.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > concluding remarks:</h1>
The spirited teenager is full of ideals and high morale, but the repressed reality makes him gradually calm, and he has to bow to life, obey the existing rules of survival, and fall into depression under the dual pressure of deviating from the ideal and suppressing reality.
As the director of this film said in an interview, this is the story of a manic person, a story of struggling in a repressive society.
He found that after the earthquake, Japanese society tended to be "submissive", and everyone snuggled up to each other to maintain a "harmonious" order and worked together, as if only by doing so could they survive, and on the contrary, the director realized that he had to jump out of this "routine" and question that society and people could move forward, and Ningzi was such a person.
Film and television come from life, and are higher than life. Here is @Wow Movie, watch movies, taste life.
