Tony Kaye, director of the Douban 8.7 film Detachment, said: "Detachment tells and explores the issue of education... In addition to education, "Detachment" is still a family movie, whether it is three male protagonists or three female protagonists, are looking for a kind of family affection. In fact, for a person, family is everything, the whole of life and the hope of the future. ”
Man comes into this world, to be precise, to a family. This family, also called the original family, people have no way to choose, with a great randomness. People, throughout their lives, are branded as their original families. Happy people use childhood to heal a lifetime, and unfortunate people use a lifetime to heal childhood.
Douban score 8.7 "Detachment": What is detachment? What is the way out of detachment?
Whether it is family education, school education or social education, it is a process of reinventing a person. People, when they first came to this world, actually did not have any immunity. At this time, family education is like soil, bearing the burden of nourishing, caring for, and caring for seeds.
School education is a person, from a family to a class collective, a school collective, another way to receive education. Seeds crave germination and seedlings crave to grow. School education is spring and rainy, moisturizing things silently, preaching and solving problems.
After all, man is a person in society, and man is the product of social relations, and eventually he must go to society and accept the re-education of society, a university without walls. Social education, can not hear the nagging of parents and teachers, everything is a good word. In the communication and collision friction of various social relations, people are also realizing the process of reinventing themselves.
According to the psychoanalyst Freud's structural theory, the three main parts of the spirit, namely the id, the ego, and the superego, constitute the complete personality of man. Through family education, school education and social education, people have forged their own complete personality. But it also has to be said that at different stages of people's lives, there are such and such helplessness and unsatisfactory, all kinds of unsatisfactory, so people try to struggle in various ways to seek detachment. Life goes on and on, transcendence goes on. So, what is detachment? What is the way out of detachment?
Henry, the male protagonist of the movie "Detachment", chose to be a substitute teacher and wandered around. In this way, after a period of time, for a period of time, there is no need to establish too much contact with students, with colleagues, with a place, and cultivate deep feelings. Without feelings, there is no entanglement, without entanglement there is no anger, without anger there is no harm, no harm is self-salvation. This is Henry's interpretation of detachment.
The other teacher in the film lives in the school where Henry was a substitute teacher for a month. The class bell has rung, and the students are still going their own way. At this time, despite the teacher's loud shouts, the students should still do what to do. The teacher returned home, his wife watching TV with a remote control, and the child guarding the computer and not answering. This teacher, who had no one to take care of outside the house, was used to being like a trapped beast with his hands on the barbed wire of the playground. Henry approached and greeted him:
"Are you okay?"
"You see me, you see me standing here."
"Yes, I see you."
"Oh, God, it's so cruel, thank you." After saying that, it was as if he had slipped away.
That goes back to Henry's concept of detachment, without much connection and without feelings. But this teacher who exists like air, he has become a transparent person. The family is loose and not half cohesive. There are only people, no people. There is no sense of dignity in work, let alone the realization of personal value. He was seriously disconnected from his family and students, alienated, and the bonds of affection had long since been broken. So is he detached, apparently not.
Look at the fat girl, she has a talent for painting and loves photography. But her father was always yelling at her, not liking her overly gloomy paintings, and was simply annoyed, saying that she was a little thinner and her hair was a little longer, and might attract good boys. As the fat girl herself said to his father, "You always know what to say to hurt me, Dad." ”
In the classroom, the fat girl gives Henry a painting and confesses to him. But everyone had their own problems, and Henry couldn't give her anything. I had to comfort "everything will be fine" with a pale and powerless sentence. The desperate fat girl slammed her head against the wall. Later, the fat girl committed suicide. Maybe for her, death was a relief.
So, what exactly is detachment, is detachment shielding, detachment is isolation, detachment is wrapping itself tightly, detachment is without emotion, detachment is air-like existence, detachment is death. Zhang Ailing said: "Life is a gorgeous robe, crawling with lice. "Life has cracks, there are many holes, but that's where the light shines in." Whoever has a swamp in his life, falls into it again and again, and pulls it out again and again, so as to complete the transformation of life and realize the sublimation of the self. Life has abused me a thousand times, and I treat life like a first love. Life is a practice, good, embrace; bad, face it calmly.
An argument from the existentialist philosopher Camus's The Outsider is "The distance between my soul and me is so far away, and my existence is so real." ”
Yu Xiuhua once said in an interview that she felt that her body was not worthy of her soul. In fact, everyone has confusion, entanglement and struggle of one kind or another. Thus people need to find a way out, so as to achieve detachment.
Detachment is going out, and the front is a day.
In "Detachment", Henry grew up having a short happy time with his mother, in the park, on the snow, leaving the footprints of mother and child rejoicing. But Grandpa sexually assaulted his mother, causing her to commit suicide by drinking heavily, when he was seven years old. So he has the shadow of childhood, he lives gloomy. He likes to close himself off and is not willing to invest too much in feelings. But we are pleased to see that at the end of the film, Henry took the initiative to go out and take the initiative to find the girl who had fallen, the girl jumped up happily, Henry picked up the girl, and the two of them spun up. Compared with the dull style of the whole film, at that moment, I believe that the heart of every audience member also brightened.
In "Green Book," the winner of the 91st Academy Award for Best Picture, black pianist Don Shelley deliberately broke away from black society and tried to integrate into white society, but all in vain. On the rainy night he roared that he wasn't black enough and not white enough, and he didn't know who he really was. It's about living alive and losing yourself alive. At the end of the film, he walks into a black restaurant and plays the piano. He walked into Tony's house with a bottle of wine for Christmas. We saw the rare smile on his face and felt his heartfelt happiness. That's don Shelley's detachment, going out, ahead of a day.
Detachment is reconciliation with oneself, accepting oneself, embracing oneself, and elevating oneself. Detachment is about finding the true self and being a more quality self. May each of us find our own path to detachment and make a gorgeous turn.
