The psychoanalyst Freud divided the personality structure into three levels: the id, the ego, and the superego.
Theron grew up in a single-parent household, where his mother was an agitated addict who often sold his body to sustain drug consumption. Theron was thin and silent, cowering in the face of his peers who bullied him. Until he met the tough guy who sold drugs in Miami's black community, and the tough guy cared for him like a father, Theron finally experienced true affection, love. After that, Theron once fell in love with himself, but Faxiao chose to betray him because he was afraid that those who bullied Theron would bully him. All kinds of humiliations made the anger that had accumulated for more than a decade began to erupt, and Theron began to rebel and gradually grew into a powerful person.
When the movie "Poverty, Blackness, Drugs" came out, many people praised the film for putting together various marginal identities. But in fact, there are no white people in this movie, and there is no content in the topic that black people are bullied as a race. Second, although Theron is often bullied, the film does not call for an affirmative action struggle. Theron's family is certainly not doing well financially, but it is not a deliberately eye-catching poverty. Theron's community was rife with drugs, but drugs were more a medium of conflict around Theron than a lament about how drugs could destroy a community.
Therefore, when analyzing this movie, we should remove these eye-catching labels.

The ego is at the bottom of the personality structure, an energy system composed of innate instincts, desires, and desires. It often manifests itself in the pursuit of individual physiological needs such as food satiety and sexual satisfaction, as well as avoidance of suffering.
Theron was timid when he first met tough guys, but he couldn't refuse to be truly cared for for the first time in his life, and since then, Theron has often gone to find tough guys. The tough guy told him, "At some point, you'll have to decide for yourself what kind of person you want to be." "
It's not a disgrace to fall in love with the same sex, but in Florida, in this small town in Miami, the environment is extremely conservative and religious. Although it is not clearly pointed out in the film, it can be felt prejudiced and not understood from the words and deeds of the bully, the tough guy or his mother.
For many people, "homophobia" is innate, genetically present, and is the result of the evolution of early human history. In the early history of mankind, the competition for survival was cruel, the larger the number of ethnic groups, the stronger the combat effectiveness, and the more likely the homophobic gene was to survive and grow. Because homophobic genes help increase the number of offspring, people like Theron are pushed against society.
Most of the black Americans believe in Christianity, and God created Eve from Adam's ribs to allow men and women to live together, love each other, marry, and reproduce. Same-sex love, which was called a violation of God's original intention to create men and women, was once seen as an abomination and immoral.
Theron grew up in such an environment, rejected by the people around him, always suppressing the "original self", and loneliness was like a shadow with him. People say it because they know so little. To avoid suffering, he chose to use the tough guy as a safe haven, avoiding his drug-addicted mother and avoiding everyone who bullied him.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > self: the awakening of consciousness is accompanied by the pain of reality</h1>
The ego refers to the awakening of consciousness of "self", the beginning of the self-search peculiar to human beings. It often manifests itself as "the self under the constraints of the real environment".
The tough guy died unexpectedly, but Theron waited for another person to save him. Fa Xiao is the only peer who does not bully him, and Theron trusts him. One night, the two exchanged heartfelt words in the hazy moonlight, and then had a relationship. However, after the group that bullied him knew, he forced Fa Xiao to play Theron.
Bullying in schools has always been a hot topic, and as can be seen from Sauron's early childhood, it has had a huge impact on his growth. The campus is not an isolated place, and everything that happens on the campus is a reflection of human violence.
Every individual in a school bullying incident, whether a bully, a bullied person, or a bystander, has a distinct social character. For example, bullies often have a status advantage and use their own force to establish hegemonic prestige. When bystanders do nothing, the abuser gains more courage to inflict atrocities. And when bystanders laugh at the bullied party, it is even more extremely increased the violent tendency of the abuser, and most of the bullied people belong to the cowardly personality, have an inferiority complex, and prefer to swallow their anger rather than talk to others, which is often more and more bullied.
When the law protects more of the perpetrators of minors; when schools and education departments either turn a blind eye to bullying in schools or just blindly do peacemakers, what we lack is a system that can truly protect all underage students.
Why are so many people in school bullying Only Theron alone? Because Theron is out of place with the surroundings. After entering adolescence, sex has become a topic of mutual ridicule and showing off by adolescent boys, and Theron, who likes the same sex and cannot integrate into the topic, has been bullied more.
The flashpoint of all emotions is when Fa Xiao is forced to humiliate and bring down Sauron in public, and loneliness and helplessness make him lift the bench and smash it at the boy who bullied him the most, and he is later imprisoned for it.
Teenage Theron finds his "self" in the violent fight against bullying.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > superego: self-righteous "powerful" tend to be vulnerable</h1>
The superego is the highest stage of self-development, which can be simply divided into two levels: "ideal" and "conscience". The former is the result of internalization and precipitation in man's childhood; the latter is above the self, as if it were a representative of the noble morality of the social moral precepts, social prohibitions, and authorities to supervise and control the self.
Years later, Theron reversed his thin appearance, full of muscles, full of gold teeth, and even began to sell drugs, gradually moving closer to the tough guy in his impression. However, after those few punches, Fa Xiao, who had no news, suddenly called, instantly making Sauron, who had already transformed into a successful child, become the child from many years ago.
If Fa Xiao didn't call, Theron would have gone farther and farther down this wrong path.
The perpetrator is not always the one being abused. If you don't get the right values, maybe one day, the perpetrator will become a potential perpetrator. As in the infamous "Stanford Prison Experiment," in the end, no one is normal, and in that atmosphere of unchecked violence, everyone is divided into my abusers and abusers.
The "superego" forces the ego not to know things as they are, but to know them subjectively as they should be. Theron subjectively believed that a tough guy's life would protect himself, without correctly understanding whether what he was doing was right.
We desperately need a system that not only prevents bullies from abusing, but also protects those who are bullied from going down a crooked path, and allows bystanders to get the right values. On campus, there is a complete protection system composed of professional social workers and psychological counselors.
It was Theron himself who explored and completed the long and stoic rites of passage, and no one taught him how to interact with people, how to resist the ridicule of his classmates, no one to tell him what sex was and what love was. The reunion with Fa Xiao opened up Theron's last "conscience", and he changed back into the little boy who reflected the faint blue light in the moonlight.
Poverty and violence may be passed on from generation to generation, and the confusion and vulnerability of marginalized people is so far removed from the noise of the mainstream world, which is even more important than skin color and political leanings. But Theron is not a puppet with fringe tags. As a character full of memories and pain, he is not just a face to embody stereotypes about what ethnic group – racism or historical struggle; Or a bowl of chicken soup that "no matter what your skin color or sexual orientation, you can succeed with all your efforts." His story allows us to see how he, as a person with these intertwined identities, is pushed to the edge of life, how he falls into the net of life, and how he gains strength.
Hello, Theron. Tonight the moon is beautiful.
