"Happy people heal their lives with childhood, and unfortunate people heal their childhood with a lifetime".
And this movie belongs to the latter, "Mindcatcher". #心灵捕手 #
The film received nine nominations and won three Oscars.
As of now, Douban scores 8.9 points.
The film starred Matt Damon, whose works are always classic, such as "Spy Movies", "Saving Private Ryan", "Infernal Walker", "Interstellar" and so on.
Matt Damon was still a small piece of fresh meat at that time, and his acting skills were slightly green compared to a bunch of old drama bones. But this movie is his most high-profile film.
Robin Williams, who has won the Academy Award, Golden Globe Award, Grammy Award, etc. This psychological master in the movie, but in reality can not untie his own knots, because of depression chose suicide.
Some people may think that the plot of the movie is somewhat "bland", but this "bland" contains too many intriguing philosophies of life, psychological problems, and many sparkling lines.
The protagonist of the story, Will (Matt Dimon), is a genius who often fights and causes trouble. Although he has no serious education, he has an extraordinary IQ and an amazing memory!
As a cleaning clerk at MIT, just by mopping the floor for a few lessons, you can easily solve the problem that the professor left on the blackboard to motivate students, and it took the professor two months to solve this problem.
The professor once again left a puzzle that he had spent two full years solving, and guess how long Will would take this time?
Will was very excited when he saw this problem, felt that it was much more interesting than the previous question, and began to solve it again, this time the problem was a little difficult, although it took a long time, it was finally correctly calculated again. Because the professor chased Will in the afternoon, he was afraid that the professor would trouble him and decided to change jobs.
In the evening, he and Chuck (Ben Afflet) are in the bar happy, the good brother Chuck is humiliated by the Harvard high school student, Will stands up for Chuck, a series of advanced economic knowledge blurted out, the high school student was dumbfounded. Will said: "There are two things in life that are certain: one is not to only hit the high altitude, and the other is that you spend fifteen thousand on education, and you can get it in the library with a piece of five."
Will's all-round performance successfully attracted Skylar's attention, and he left a phone call before leaving. However, before he could get Skylar out, he was prosecuted for the previous fight, he defended himself with a hanging mouth, sprayed the opposing lawyer to the end of the word, but went to prison because he could not pay the security deposit.
At the same time, the professor finds out Will's identity and goes to the prison to tell Will that he can be released on bail, provided that he is working with him to solve mathematical problems and undergoing psychological therapy once a week.
Will agrees to do math problems, but does not want to see a psychiatrist, but forced by reality to agree, it is better than going to jail.
The math problems that the professor gave Will were super difficult, but Will could easily solve them.
The professor admired Will's talent and brought out a lot of his personal collection of books, and he wanted Will to master more knowledge. With Will's help, many of the problems the professor had encountered were solved, and they got along happily.
But the psychiatrist's head was bigger, and Will ran away from five teachers in a row, and Will refused to accept psychotherapy. The professor has to go to great lengths to get his longtime best friend, the real "mind catcher" Thorne (Robin Williams).
The first time the two meet, they break up when Will touches Thorne's wife.
At the second meeting, Sane apologizes for his overly excited behavior last time, and also points out Will's problem to the point, and the next passage is a classic of the film:
You're just a kid, you don't know what you're talking about.
Ask you about art, and you might come up with a crude argument from an art book... But you don't know the smell of the Sistine Chapel, you never stand there and admire the beautiful ceiling;
Ask you women, you will most likely say fallacies about personal preferences... But you can't say the feeling of happiness waking up next to a woman;
Ask you about war, you will say Shakespeare's words "go to the battlefield together, dear friend", but you have never encountered war, never held the head of a close friend in your arms...
Ask you about love, you'll quote sonnets, but you've never seen a woman's vulnerability... You don't understand what it's like to be her angel...
You don't understand the real loss, only love others more than yourself can understand, I don't believe you dare to love someone like this...
To put it simply, a man can never believe what he has not experienced.
You are an orphan, you think how hard I feel about your days, how you feel, who you are... I can't know you from any books unless you want to say it yourself... But you don't want to, you're afraid you'll be scared by what you say."
In the evening, Will finds Thorne but does not speak, and the two of them stare dryly the whole time, in Thorne's words, whoever speaks first loses.
The next day, Will came to See Sane again, and this time he finally couldn't hold back, and took the initiative to talk about the girl he liked, she was perfect, but he was afraid of ruining this perfect feeling after deep understanding, and Thorne told Will that maybe he didn't want to destroy his perfection.
True perfection is when two imperfect people are most appropriately together. Learn to accept each other's imperfections in order to truly enter each other's world.
When the time came, Thorne's words made Will unsatisfied and benefited a lot.
Sometimes love is to take the initiative,
Will plucked up enough courage to ask out his girlfriend, but the girlfriend had too much homework to date. Will ran to the café, wrote wildly, and then ran back to his girlfriend's dorm room and handed her an answer she had just written, someone else's homework in a day, and he finished it in five minutes, and the girlfriend was stunned.
It was a pleasure for two people to date. The professor and Thorne quarreled. The cause is
The professor wanted Will to devote his talents to work as soon as possible and make a great contribution to the country. (The professor uses him as a tool)
Thorne believes the time is not yet ripe and wants to respect Will's personal wishes. (Thorne treats him like a friend)
It wasn't long before Will and his girlfriend had a dispute over the problem of graduate school. She offered to let Will accompany her to California, but Will refused, saying that because there were his friends here, once he left here, it meant that he would be beaten back to his original form, everything was unknown, and Will even became a girlfriend and proposed to break up.
Will is not confident, he refuses to face love, does not dare to leave his buddies, he can never pass his own level.
Back in the teaching and research room, Will is distraught, like a hedgehog, poking people everywhere and mocking the professor. Thorne persuaded him, but was regurgitated as a coward, and thus succeeded in offending his two mentors overnight.
It was his good friend who persuaded Will to figure it out.
Usually, Hanger Lang's friend said solemnly, if you are 50 years old and you are still building a house, I will kill you. His friend didn't know much, but he knew that Will had a talent that ordinary people didn't have, and he didn't want his friend to waste his talent so much. Friends said that the best moment of the day, only ten seconds, every day from parking to Will's door, every time knocking on his door, I hope he is not at home, no need to say goodbye, nothing, just walked away, a word from friend Chuck, so that Will's psychological defense line finally has a little loosening.
Friends who seem to not usually do the right thing, in fact, will has a rare spiritual pillar for many years, he is defensive in the face of everything, only in front of these friends the most relaxed, although they almost do not say the right thing, although they are only fighting together, but it is these people who give Will a sense of identity, security, let him know that he is sometimes very important, Will finally see clearly.
In fact, in life, the most critical words that affect a person are not necessarily a big truth, but may only be a heartfelt word of a close friend.
Will returns to the psychology class, and Thorne is going through his materials to learn that Will is an orphan and that his family often abused him when he was a child.
That's why his personality is so sharp and sensitive, and he's actually protecting himself when he's angry.
Looking at the big boy in front of him, Thorne repeated a sentence over and over again,
It's not your fault,
It's not your fault.
Will's psychological defenses collapsed completely, he could not hold on any longer, holding Thorne and crying like a child, for the first time in so many years, he relaxed, crying miserably, under Thorne's enlightenment, Will walked out of the shadow of childhood.
His life is slowly changing, he is beginning to face life positively, he went to interview the professor's introduction, and this psychological treatment can be over. Will was reluctant to say goodbye, and Thorne only left him a note saying that there was nothing he could write to contact. In the process of treating Will, Thorne untied his own knots for many years.
In the end, the friends specially assembled a car for him as a birthday present, and Will drove the car, left a letter to The Door of Thorne's house, said goodbye to the friend, and drove to California to chase his love, and Thorne decided to give up and go on a trip.
I want to see the movie, and it's not just Will who is healed, but every one of you who watches the movie.
Will in the movie is lucky and enviable. Not only is he gifted, but he also has many people who genuinely care about him, such as The Professor who made him find a career, Thorne, who is also a teacher and friend, the friends who gave him warm companionship, and the Skyra who let him have love, and it is with them that Will, the, has found the direction of life.
Mindcatcher is a healing movie that deserves much scrutiny.
The film contains many things, such as how to get out of the psychological shadow; or to find the self, to recognize the self; or to be afraid of intimacy to bravely go out of their own way; or the preciousness of friendship; or the choice of the future, whether it is decided by others or by yourself.
At the end of the day, don't be controlled by any haze, take control of your own life, and live your own wonderful life.
There should be a period of such enlightenment in life!
Did Mindcatcher capture your mind?
