Jumping out of everything and finding your own world seems to be a very simple and easy thing to do, but in fact, for many ordinary people, it is an insurmountable mountain. Our connection with the world lies in the fact that the essence of human beings is a social animal, a person cannot exist apart from the whole society, but when a person is excessively integrated into the society, the sense of self will become less and less, most people have a balanced boundary, but once this boundary is deviated, no matter which side it is biased towards, it is fatal to a person's destruction.
The "Puppet Life" recommended to you today tells the story of how a person rushes out of his own confinement. Peter's life was very repressive, and the origin of the repression came from the control of Peter by several characters in Peter's life. Peter's mother liked to have big feasts, which Peter had to attend, and Peter's wife also liked to go out and go to various social places, because she was a fashion expert, so there was always a variety of entertainment. Peter loved his mother and wife dearly, but Peter's love for his mother was submissive, and his love for his wife was attachment. Both of these were for Peter, and no one cared more about Peter himself.
Peter's mother's love for him was only when Peter attended his banquet and introduced to others, while Peter's wife's love for Peter was more given in situations where two people did not need to participate in the outside world, but in the whole social relationship that required their contact, Peter could not find his own sense of existence, as if his mood was always ignored by others. Over time, Peter developed serious psychological problems. One day, the problem erupted, and after that, when the police came to investigate Peter's psychological state, Peter's life began little by little.
The film itself shown by Bergman is more in line with ordinary people in modern society, and it is the general psychology of most ordinary people, the fast pace of modern society and the emphasis on the exchange of interests make many people's psychology on the verge of collapse, the meaning of Peter's own existence is that he needs to play two roles, one is a good son, and the other is a good husband who is submissive to his wife. Peter needed to play both of these roles in social life, but he couldn't get anyone else to play any role for him.
Peter's wife doesn't like to participate in Peter's mother's banquet and can gradually refuse, Peter's mother wants her son to play whatever role Peter must unconditionally implement, Peter's wife can dictate to Peter in front of people, but even if the person is submissive to Peter, but such a long-term behavior can not make up for the damage caused to Peter. After all kinds of negative emotions accumulated little by little, Peter finally caused a tragedy.
Depressed people need a breakthrough to relieve their emotions, but in reality Peter can't find such a breakthrough, the depression of life is a problem that needs to be solved urgently for anyone, if you can't let your emotions be resolved well, then it will cause more serious consequences in the long run.
Peter's problem is that he is manipulated, and this manipulation is the complete loss of his autonomy, Peter can accomplish some things, but real life does not give him more options to realize himself.
We can use Peter to correspond to ourselves, so that it is not difficult to find out whether the essence of life is to maintain a delicate balance with society. Peter loses this balance and thus allows himself to be reduced to a negative emotion-gathering device. Negative emotions from his mother and wife gradually accumulated, but no one cared whether Peter needed to relieve his own anguish. His wife seems to have cared for him when they were alone, but this concern is only a superficial formalism, and for Peter's true heart, the wife seems to be the closest person, but she never gets close.
The psychiatrist gave some words of comfort, but these words did not affect Peter in any way, and the dreams that plagued him continued to appear, and even if it was not for the victim, Peter would eventually cause another tragedy.
However, by analogy with modern people, people are still unwilling to accept that many modern people have direct or indirect depression. Like Peter's manipulated life, the tragic psychology of modern people comes from their sense of powerlessness in the face of the entire high-speed society, because they need to constantly adapt to the society in order not to be eliminated, because the concept of elimination hangs over everyone's head all the time.
However, so much pressure constantly wraps a person, this person has no way to release reasonably, whenever we need to let ourselves completely relax, physical relaxation is easy to obtain, but psychological scruples can not be easily removed, therefore, even if it is a short period of relaxation, this essential social relationship has not changed because of relaxation, everything is in a vicious circle. But tragedy is always happening.
For Peter, it may make sense to break through everything to find himself, because living in a mental hospital is the most peaceful moment for Peter, but for most modern people, whether to bear such a price may be the question that has plagued us for a long time.
