this movie happens in Mumbai.. while sitting near sea shore, the hero gives a ring to the heroine, and she coyly accepts it. then they both get up and walk. the hero is beaming from within... and while walking he steps on a puddle - but is unaware of it and walks away happily.
don't know whether it was an intentional thing by director of that movie. but it nicely shows, when we are so happy, we can ignore many things ;)
and chances are its intentional, as in that scene, the surrounding area seems dry, but there are couple of puddles, just in the area, where hero is about to walk.
... movie name: 'beautiful mind' (english)
the scene where john nash (hero) is in a psychiatric hospital, and is dragged in by attendants. john is shouting, i am john nash, and i am being held against my will.
Should a person, be held against their will.. even if they have a medical condition?
(in this movie, the hero suffers from 'paranoid schizophrenia'... so, is it justified?)
How does an MHP (Mental Health professional) react to such aspects in their profession?
Would a decision to force another person against their will, affect this MHP?
How's it different from being a sniper, who has to to sniff out life cold-blooded, again & again?
(Do health professionals have 'burn out'.. like soldiers have PTSD... do they have too?)
Should bunched up concepts related to our brain, mind, psychology be grouped up under one subject heading?
(Just read, an article, which examines counter-transference, or on impact on psychotherapist: http://www.psychiatrictimes.com/psychotherapy/rorschach-and-case-countertransference?GUID=5F38BC0F-88AE-4812-8359-088FC5BC8DA8&rememberme=1&ts=21022015
i had to ask some of these questions... maybe almost anyone who has to influence (manipulate) others in their work, might have done the same thing..
some would have questioned themselves, about this aspect.. some never become aware enough - to ask /raise to self, such questions.
and, strangely, we (humans) seem dual - one one side, a highly developed socializing need, with bundles of sympathy, empathy and emotional swings.. occurring from feeling of loneliness.
and at the same time, a fierce need to be independent, self-made, not-being-a-slave, ethical person.. and this part (to say), can create a guilt kind of thing... when we do oppressive actions; just like sniffing out a life can take a bit of your soul away (basically, i mean, it can add a layer of guilt in most people).
some could be there... sociopaths or psychopaths, as they used to be called.. But, wouldn't they too need some reasons, rational to defend their actions.. otherwise, even they too feel guilty??
...girl with dragon tattoo: another movie, gives an example. the villain or killer (Martin) in the Hollywood version of this movie (there is Swedish version, which is more raw/intellectual), is talking with the hero Blomkvist, who is tied up to be tortured by this killer. "everyone came on their own will, i didn't tie them up and drag them here. even you came when i invited you. this shows, people don't trust their instincts... saying no to someone is more painful for them, than their own death"... philosophizes this killer in a chilling manner.
of course, this killer doesn't consider any other factors, of human psyche... which makes him really fearful. and is trying to justify, why he can torture and kill other people.. but, even such a cold serial killer needs to have some reason, otherwise he might feel guilty.
so.. overall, its a fine balance - you have to keep independence at a level & sociability too at a level.. interdependence is more easily typed than practiced.
thus, life can be like balancing a see-saw...
