brief Introduction of the content

Nicholas Van Orton (michael douglas) is a successful banker. Although he is rich, the breakdown of his marriage has made him live a well-behaved life and give up on himself all day. However, his life became tense and thrilling because of a birthday present from his younger brother Conrad. This unknown game was signed up by his brother in a company called "Consumer Leisure Service Company" and tailored for his brother. At the beginning of the game, it was still very interesting, but gradually he found out that the game was his brother's, the company's and meant to kill him. So my brother doubted the people around him all day and let himself live in distress, but things changed too fast. The ultimate goal of the game is not to win, but not to lose your life. The biggest challenge of this movie is to wander between reality and illusion. ...

backstage

Michael Douglas said, "The game is the best script I have seen in recent years. I regard it as a 2 1 century roller coaster. Every year, someone wants to make the roller coaster faster, which can scare you. This movie is an exercise in your thinking; More because psychology is more imaginative, it is more terrible than anything practical. "

Douglas was attracted by the cooperation between the script and director david fincher. He clearly talked about his choice of theme and script: "I don't think the world is black and white. The ambivalence of love and hate attracts me most. Man is neither a saint nor a devil, only exists in it. I am lucky to play this role that was originally hated by the audience, and then they will gradually understand your predicament or your problem. Nicholas is not a good man. You may not like him at first, but if you follow in his footsteps, you will agree with him until the end. "

This story also exposes the illusion that money and power are unstable. Douglas said that people with a lot of wealth are protected and isolated. They are far from real life and live in ivory towers. This film is about people sinking without all their clothes and safety protection? Or can you swim? '

short review

I watched this movie which seems to lack publicity, and I just watched michael douglas and sean penn's The Golden Face. But when I saw the director's name-"david fincher" (david fincher), I broke out in a cold sweat inexplicably. Remember Seven in 1996 and Alien3 earlier? These are all David's masterpieces. So I seem to be a little psychologically prepared to press the play button ... After a burst of adrenaline secretion, I finally finished watching this out-and-out "game", and a feeling of being completely "cheated" arises spontaneously (of course, it doesn't mean that the film is too bad). Being able to "play" the audience so tightly in your hands is also a reflection of the film level! Of course, I can't tell you the truth now, otherwise your interest in watching it will be greatly reduced. "Games" make us feel powerless. Even a "big shot" like the protagonist in the play will find that there are so few things he can control once he agrees to join the game. At the same time, the film also mentioned that without pride and self-confidence, a person who gives others power or enjoys privileges can be deprived. It brings our fear of losing power closer to you, and tells you after beating half to death: "Don't be afraid, everything is fake". At the same time, "game" will also force you to think about what your own game is like, what others will do to kill you, what you always attach to it, and what others can easily deprive? .................................................................................................................................................................................. But remember, this is just a game, don't take it too seriously!

Comment on the American film "Psychological Games"

—— Azimuth Tianjin

When I was a child, I pushed my brother into the river and died. When I was a child, I saw my mother cheating on her lover and killed that man. I was forced by my stepfather or biological father when I was a teenager. When I was a child, I heard that small animals were killing, but there was nothing I could do about it ... I was trapped in a long life or formed strange stories because of some abnormal experience, all kinds of unforgettable memories and stories. In short, I started with mental disorder or mental illness formed in my early years. In recent years, it has become a very optimistic creative theme in western film and television circles to develop complex plots and characters, which runs through bizarre suspense, thus expressing the director's understanding of the hardships, confusion and pursuit of life. This kind of film is also very popular at home and abroad, and has received good box office value. For example, forbidden love of the silent lamb, love of the owl, bitter moon, in the final analysis, cold memorial and so on. 1997 was staged in the United States in September, earning $48 million at the box office. The movie "Psychological Games" starring michael douglas is another such movie. The difference is that the film left a precious impression on the audience with an unexpected ending.

The rich tycoon Nicholas can't erase the scene of his father jumping off a building when he was a child, which makes him often depressed, eccentric and indifferent, and refuses anyone's concern. His wife and brother left him, and the staff kept him at arm's length and were cautious. On his 48th birthday, his brother Conrad gave him a "consumer entertainment card", which made him participate in a game unintentionally. As a result, he experienced the experience of being teased, cheated, chased and even abandoned to a desolate cemetery in Mexico. Until he was furious, he confronted the person who corrected him with one person's blood, but killed his brother by mistake. So he jumped down the stairs like his father. This is the most wonderful plot in Conrad's game. He wants his brother to heal his psychological trauma with personal experience and transfer his feelings for his dead father to all his relatives and friends in front of him. During this period, all kinds of torture made Nicholas realize that people need other people's understanding and help, need to communicate with others, and need to face reality instead of indulging in the past years. After the game, Nicholas got everyone's birthday congratulations, and he also found a new girlfriend.

The realistic horror atmosphere, the fake performance, the near misses and the happy comedy ending make this film different from previous genre films. It does not take suspense setting and tense rhythm as the purpose of watching movies, but makes it serve to reflect the younger brother's good feelings for his brother. Let the audience know Conrad's efforts to cure Nicholas's heart disease-he mobilized almost all his relatives and friends, hired a group of actors, set up this so-called "consumer entertainment center" for his younger brother, and made the most incredible game arrangement, so that his younger brother could receive education without potential safety hazards. This kind of effort conforms to his personality and philosophy of life, so that the audience can not reluctantly accept it, and gain more life enlightenment while enjoying the film-and it is a new angle and more modern thinking.

Artists may want more psychopaths in their lives, which will help them find creative opportunities; We want everyone to be physically and mentally healthy. Especially in modern society, most people should pay more attention to mental health while getting rid of the pain of food and clothing, especially the ability of psychological self-adjustment. It is unrealistic to expect "psychological games" to cure mental illness.
