At a time when mental illness is becoming more and more important, the term bipolar disorder has become no longer unfamiliar, but many people still can't understand what bipolar patients are experiencing. The movie "A Thought of Ignorance" is through Yu Wenle's portrayal of bipolar patient ADong to reflect the root cause of bipolar patients' diseases and their living conditions.
<h1>In a sick family, the family is both a knot and a robber</h1>
In life, there are some relationships that have a choice, such as lovers, such as friends. But there are also some relationships that are not chosen by others, such as family. Mom and Dad, brothers and brothers, such a relationship is destined to connect them together. Relationships bring responsibility: husband and wife support each other, parents raise sons, sons support parents, and if there is a problem with the chain, the family may fall into the abyss. At this time, some people are locked by this invisible knot, and some people are desperately trying to break free.
In the movie "A Thought of Ignorance", for the mother, the husband and young son who always let her fall into disappointment in the bitter wait are her robbery. She only had her eldest son, Antoine, by her side, so Thatto became her cathartic outlet, and the endless roar and crying every day made her a robber for him.
At the expense of quitting his job and sacrificing his feelings, Antoine did his best to take care of his mother, in exchange for gratitude and understanding, but was forced by his mother, a poor person, into another poor person - suffering from bipolar disorder. The unexpected death of his mother forced Antoine to be forcibly imprisoned in a mental hospital.
After Antoine was discharged from the hospital, the father finally chose to return to his son to take care of him and help him return to "normal". But all this is not easy, the eldest son Ah Dong, who has been labeled "patient", is difficult to stop being a "patient", this abyss is really bottomless.
Father, a former robber, also endured the hardships of robbery in the process of caring for the sick. He was very troubled about whether to send Antoine back to the mental hospital. So, he called his young son abroad, and the younger son on the other end of the phone gave a solution lightly: "You send Antoine back to the mental hospital, choose a good old people's home by yourself, money is not a problem." "
You know, before the death of his mother, the youngest son, who had excellent grades and was loved by his parents, had been running his life abroad, and the eldest son would rather fall out with his girlfriend than personally serve his mother instead of sending his mother to an old people's home.
In the face of the younger son's suggestion, the father only said lightly: "In fact, is everything that can be awarded to others to do?" "
The youngest son is the kind of person who tries to break free of the knot of the family. In his view, paying money is filial piety to parents and fulfilling responsibilities to family, which can solve all disasters. But if this is the case, why did Ah Dong and his father Haihai have to suffer all the hardships of the past?
Everyone wants to be a person who is filial to their parents and responsible for their families, but everyone also wants to live for themselves, and when they can't have both, is there a boundary that can make them balanced? If so, where is this "boundary"?
<h1>In a crazy world, restlessness and depression are only between the first line</h1>
Antoine is a patient, but from his point of view, the world is like the English title of the movie, Mad World, a crazy world.
When he returns to society, he strives to live like a "normal person", he actively helps his neighbors fix things, he keeps calling for jobs, he goes to the weddings of good friends, he tries to repair the father-son relationship... But sadly, no one wants to treat him like a normal person except for the neighbor's child.
At the wedding of a friend, he insisted that the people in the audience would respect the newcomers on the stage, in exchange for only the sneering irony offstage and the more embarrassment of the newcomers on the stage; the employer interviewed, he frankly told the medical history, the interviewer had no intention of paying attention to his business ability anymore, just politely sent guests; the neighbors who were always begging their father and their own help, after knowing his medical history, immediately fell into the well to ask them to move away; even his father, has been hiding self-defense tools under the pillow...
The most impressive scene is that he is happy to go out with his girlfriend after getting his girlfriend's forgiveness, but what is ushered in is only a ruthless speech by his girlfriend in the church, telling him how much she hates him behind the tolerance, and he runs to the supermarket to eat dark chocolate that "can bring happiness" without any catharsis, but what is the use? "Restless" eventually became "depressed", no one cared why he was sad, they only knew that he was sick.
Are normal people who misunderstand him and are afraid of him really normal? In this stressful society, there are many people with psychological problems, and many of them are not aware of themselves, but they are not forced to be taken to the hospital for treatment, because then they can hide in the crowd and point out that others say that he is "abnormal"?
Ironically, the standard for doctors to judge whether a person needs to be admitted to the hospital in the film is "whether there is any suicidal thoughts", and the real suicide in the film is not Antoine, but his former colleague, who has gone to extremes because of the pressure of business, but he is a "normal person".
Movies always leave some warmth in the cold, and the untroubled willing to give Ah Dong warmth in "A Thought of Ignorance" is the neighbor's child, and the child's kindness is always so innocent. But people like Antoine who long to be healed by warmth need more than the love of their children.
Some people may think that "A Thought of Ignorance" is just a cold narrative reality, the expression is too blunt, harsh, and lacks some humanistic care. But in fact, "One Thought and No Understanding" provides a perspective that allows us to look at bipolar patients with empathy, making us more likely to understand them and examine ourselves, which is already immeasurable.
