Thinking Essay 20: Watching Notes 2 "Good Will Hunting": Open your heart and accept yourself.

Good Will Hunting is a classic psychological film released by 1997. Tell the story of a genius who was abused as a child to find himself.

? Rambo (played by Stran Scargard), a professor of mathematics at MIT, wrote a very difficult math problem on the bulletin board of the department, which no one in the whole school could solve. Will (Matt Damon), a young cleaner, accidentally saw it and solved the problem easily. Will is a clever but rebellious problem of juvenile, who often hangs out with his good friend Chuck (Ben Flatt) in bars and other places and fights. In order to tap and develop Will's talent in mathematics, Rambo was released on bail after being sentenced to prison for fighting again, and agreed to study mathematics regularly and receive psychological counseling. Will is so resistant to psychological counseling that many experts are at a loss. In desperation, Rambo turns to Sean (robin williams), a college alumnus and professor of psychology. With Sean's unremitting efforts, Will finally opened his heart. And my friend Chuck's words made Will suddenly understand. ...

First, the equivalence of redemption in Find Me.

? Will is a gifted boy. Due to his unfortunate childhood experience, his psychological defense barrier is very high. At the same time, he is also lucky, because he met Professor Rambo, a knowledgeable and experienced psychology professor Shane, a good friend who knows him, and a girl who really loves him …

? Sean, a professor of psychology, once suffered from the loss of his wife in middle age and could not face it. Will, on the other hand, is a gifted teenager wrapped in the cloak of "arrogance and violence", and he dare not face himself because of childhood abuse and trauma. They all need a chance to face their hearts, and psychological counseling between them is their journey of "looking for me".

? Before meeting Sean, Will was angry with five psychiatrists. When we first met, Will inferred his bad marriage from Shane's paintings, which deeply hurt Professor Shane and thought that this "treatment" could be interrupted. When we met for the second time, we remained silent from beginning to end. Professor Shane stayed with him for an hour. When we met for the third time, after more than half of silence, Will took the initiative to tell a joke, and the atmosphere seemed to begin to ease. The fourth time, Professor Shane took Will to the lake and told him a lot about his wife. Will left before he could speak. For the fifth time, Professor Shane talked about his meeting with his wife and her small flaws. Tell Will that everyone is not perfect, and the key is how to get along perfectly, especially between close people. Later, because Will didn't dare to face himself, he broke up with his girlfriend painfully and talked to Shane about it, which was extremely contradictory. "It's not your fault!" Professor Shane repeated this sentence over and over again, and finally let Will's psychological defense line collapse, hugged the professor tightly, and burst into tears, thus opening his heart.

Here, on the surface, it was Sean who opened Will's heart step by step. In fact, it is a mutual spiritual communication. Will needs Shane to tell him that it's not your fault. Shane also needs Will to show that his wife has passed away. He needs the courage to face a new life.

They are self-salvation and mutual redemption, and become an inspiring force to find each other and face themselves.

Second, the reconciliation of "good me" and "bad me" in the orientation of genius.

? "Good self" and "bad self" come from the "self system" in psychology, which refers to a self-awareness system with defensive function or a set of standards to measure one's behavior, that is, psychological organizations including "good self" and "bad self".

? People divide the "good self" into the "me" part that can maintain or promote interpersonal relationships, while the "bad self" is the part that destroys relationships and leads to alienation or even ending.

? Will built a solid psychological defense wall in his life experience of being abused by foster families, and the "good self" and "bad self" were clearly separated.

? He believes that "excellent self" is to show mediocrity, and genius's mind is only used to "settle a fool in three minutes" or to excuse himself in court, so as to maintain the relationship with friends such as Chuck. "Bad self" became his weapon to protect himself and isolate others. He used his extraordinary talent to drive away psychologists and vilify Shane, just to end the relationship and achieve a defensive purpose.

? Professor Shane and his friend Chuck are the people who saved him from the opposition between "good me" and "bad me".

? Shane didn't end their relationship after being slandered by Will. Instead, tell your story publicly, tolerate Will's "just a child", encourage him to "talk about himself" and let people know "who you are".

Shane broke Will's stubborn definition of "bad me", while his friend Chuck broke through "good me".

When Will said that they were still neighbors after 50 years, Chuck said the following:

"I come to meet you there every day. We went out and had a good time. But do you know what is the best moment of my day? About ten seconds: the time from parking to walking to your door. Because every time I knock on the door, I hope you are not in the house. You left without saying "goodbye" or "see you tomorrow". I don't know much, but I know it very well. "

? Interpreting true friendship is not to stop you from being with me every day, but to know your value and significance and ask you to leave and realize your own value.

? Chuck and Shane freed Will's "good self" and "bad self" from the inherent logic, made a reconciliation, and then found themselves.

Third, the self-choice of the mind.

? As a film with the theme of psychology, five psychological consultations played an important role in the film, and each psychological consultation had a great influence on Will's life choice.

? "Psychological consultation" connects the plot structure of the film in series, and also controls the emotional rhythm of the film to a great extent. The lens language and narrative style of movies are also more delicate, more positive, more attractive and bring personal feelings.

? Good Will Hunting, as an inspirational film, inherits the discussion of life and human value in such films, but instead of following the general theme of realizing the value of life, it focuses on the characteristics of genius and tells the self-choice of genius. He can study the country's top technology, and he can also spend his life flatly. It depends on his real understanding of "self" and his choice after reconciliation with "self".

? Compared with Professor Rambo who only sees the value of Will's genius, Professor Shane in psychology pays more attention to Will's self-cognition, self-reconciliation and the ability to pursue happiness. For the purpose of education, we should probably prefer the latter.

Good Will Hunting is a movie that can make people think about themselves.

It will make you stop at a certain stage of your life, get rid of secular inertia thinking, rely on your own judgment to find value, really look at yourself, understand what you really want, and understand what is really living for yourself.

Life should have such a sudden start.
