tied with Xu Tingning's new drama "Lesson 9", and some dead memories hit me again.
In the play, the love scene between the female teacher ( Xu Weining ) and the male student ( Chen Haosen) is full of scale.
kiss scene, yes;
bed scene, yes.
is taboo and eye-catching enough, but it is far less moving than the ancient Japanese drama " Witch's Condition " with the same theme.
In the hearts of many drama fans, "The Witch" is a classic that is difficult to reproduce.
Matsushima Nanako was 26 years old at that time, Takizawa Hideaki was only 17 years old, the two were at the peak of their looks, and the roles seemed to be tailor-made for them.
and 16-year-old Utada Hikaru composed and sang the theme song "First Love". Thanks to
, not only did the album set an unbroken sales record in Japan, but "The Witch" also won the ratings crown that year.
Not long ago, "First Love" appeared in the Japanese TV series "First Love", which even caused dissatisfaction among fans of the drama, setting off another wave of "Witch" rewatching.
Please return "First Love" to "Witch"
Do the math, this year is the 23rd year of "Witch".
The theme of teacher-student romance is not easy to be accepted by the public.
Why can it make a living in the conservative 90s, and it is still regarded as a classic by later generations?
because, this is not just a forbidden love.
This is actually everyone's story.
's teacher-student romance theme with its own taboo nature is naturally easy to disgust the audience.
To reduce resistance, the character must have enough pleasing personal charm.
But "The Witch" doesn't start by pleasing you. It first lets the characters reveal their most vulnerable parts, which makes you feel sympathy and pity.
The heroine unknown (Matsushima Nanako) The appearance of is very unglamorous.
Early in the morning, her boyfriend was still soundly asleep, but she had already woken up. What is
staring at?
A gecko crawling on the bathroom door.
Geckos love shade and usually appear in humid places, but here it is not a metaphor for a room, but a heroine.
Unknown has been used to a gloomy life for a long time.
Her father held an important position in the Ministry of Education.
The mother used to be an outstanding pianist, but after marriage she gave up the piano because of her husband, and lived a life of husband and son.
Unknown grew up in such a family, and was taught to be obedient and obedient since childhood.
Girls should be polite.
Whenever she violated the rules, her father would sternly reprimand her.
Girls should also put their family first.
Her father arranged for her a high school teaching job so that she could resign immediately after marriage and return to the family.
From daily life to the choice of life direction, everything unknown is decided by the father.
In other words, her life is not hers.
According to psychology, the relationship between a person and his father determines the relationship between him and the world.
Unknown to be treated like this by his father, he has long smoked the word "obedient".
Her boyfriend proposed to her, but he just got out of the bed and handed the ring, extremely perfunctory, as if he knew the unknown and would not refuse.
Sure enough, Unknown nodded and said "OK".
Compared to listening to her inner voice, she is more afraid that if she hesitates, she will be rude to the other party.
was bullied by students, unknown and obedient to the point of not being a teacher.
She is weak, unable to condemn anyone, and does not want to make trouble, just hides alone and sheds tears.
According to the development logic of the pure love story, someone should appear at this time to wipe away tears for the unknown, and that person will most likely be the male lead.
But even though "The Witch" is ancient, the plot is not old-fashioned.
男主光（泷泽秀明饰）只是在未知哭诉“我不想上课了”时，对她说了句：
那就消失吧
老师偶尔逃个课，有什么关系
这还是未知生平This is the first time I heard such words.
For a person who has been suppressed for a long time, when he is told "your will is important, you can decide your own life", it is like realizing the first step of self-awakening.
But in fact, the life of light is not bright. Although
has a solid family business, due to his father's early death, he has been overly dependent on by his mother (Kuroki Hitomi) since childhood, and his life is also in the hands of others.
Even if he is dissatisfied, he has no ability to refuse. He only knows how to use rebellion to escape reality.
His mother monitored his life, and he threw away his mobile phone;
His mother asked him to take over the hospital left by his father, and he skipped school to work and secretly saved money to buy a motorcycle.
He encouraged the unknown to skip class, maybe he was practicing his own way of escaping.
But Unknown will help him find the phone after he throws it away, tell him that I am on your side, and we should not run away anymore.
Their wounds are in the same place, but they have the strength to make each other stronger.
A sense of fatalism with two-way redemption.
The theme song "First Love" sounded for the first time in the feature film, and it was such a moment.
Guang was inspired by the unknown, and finally bravely refused his friend's blackmail. Although he was beaten up by Fatty, he also tasted the taste of freedom from the blood.
The unknown on the other end of the phone decided to follow his heart, turned around and left the dinner with his boyfriend's parents to agree on a marriage.
They agreed to meet in the "land of freedom", and the unknown steps were firm and powerful.
I saw not only love in it, but also a declaration of rebellion by two comrades-in-arms against the surroundings.
They're saying— From now on, I'm going to get my life back.
Any struggle is bloody.
What's more, the love between light and the unknown is unclean or even dirty in the eyes of the world.
is doomed to be hunted.
But what I still remember is that before everything got out of control, their love was as light as the spring breeze and as beautiful as the cherry blossoms.
The most exciting thing is the third episode.
Unknown was slandered by rumors and became weak again, which broke Guang's heart.
But it was also her who bravely ran towards the light again and said the sentence "I like you" that confirmed the relationship.
just hugged her with more strength than unknown and responded to her, the wound that was still tearing just now healed without medicine.
Another time the two were on the verge of giving up.
Unknown took the hand of the light and ran in full view, and the light was able to be brave again.
At the beginning, Unknown ran in front, and Guang followed.
Till the school and furious mother were left far behind, they ran tirelessly.
It seems that there is really a "free country" waiting for them.
"Nation of Freedom", as the most critical image of "The Witch", appears many times in the play.
It does not refer to a specific place, but refers to any place where discipline and dogma do not exist.
But no matter where the light and the unknown go, the eyes of judgment are always there, and the "land of freedom" does not seem to exist.
It is the mother of light who spares no effort to judge them.
Out of jealousy, she put the blame on Unknown and accused the school that Unknown had confused her son.
The news of their love spread from inside the school to outside the school.
Regardless of unknown bosses, colleagues, students, or parents of students, they all ridicule themSarcasm and ridicule, insisting that the relationship between them is seductive.
Some male students even used this to conclude that the unknown private life was chaotic, and tricked her into a dark room to commit misdeeds.
But even so, the light and the unknown at that time were pure and innocent.
is even a little naive.
They believe that love is love, unknown even openly confessed to the light at the court meeting, and made even more outrageous actions.
What really shakes their faith is that love begins to become unbearable.
The more they love each other, the more they hurt each other.
The more they insist on taking life into their own hands, the more painful the people around them will be.
The unknown father let out words to sever the relationship between father and daughter, and was sent to the hospital in anger.
When he was called "shameless", Guang's mother bent down and apologized to the scolder over and over again.
Even if they love each other again, they can no longer be together without any burden like they did at first. The heart-wrenching scene of
is that after fighting against the outside world for a period of time, they finally discovered in despair: the only way for
to keep going is not to compromise halfway and turn back.
is completely on the opposite side of the world.
They both dropped identities.
One quits her job, one drops out of school, reverts to just a man and woman relationship, and starts life anew.
But even crueler than that, all trials are not over.
Because of the teacher-student relationship, unknown to be rejected by the school he applied for, so he had to engage in physical labor to make ends meet.
Guang's mother was still relentless, and began to further retaliate against the unknown, and sent her to prison for abduction.
Unknown suffered humiliation in prison.
她被假设有精神问题、恋少情结，精神科医生一遍遍质问她：
无法和成年男性做爱吗
常看淫秽的东西吧
光却被警察当做无知少年保护起来。
It turns out that the root of the problem is not identity, but gender.
Imagine, if in this relationship, the male party is a teacher and the female party is a student, will anyone question the teacher's seduction or mental problems?
It must be women who suffer the most humiliation.
because love means autonomy and freedom.
In a society that treats women as men’s vassals, women are not qualified to pursue love and make their loved ones happy.
Once she breaks away from her fiancé's "guardianship" and disobeys her father's orders, then no matter what capacity she takesWhoever loves is wrong.
If she does not admit her mistake, society has its own set of rules.
borrowed identity, borrowed age, borrowed morality, and at least layer upon layer of boulders, which made her unable to breathe, and made her mistakenly believe that she was wrong because of self-blame.
This is a grand PUA.
in the end just to make the most ruthless judgment: your life is not yours .
But what is really wrong is this society of giant babies who have not been weaned.
psychological analysis of the relationship between parents and children, there is a group of well-known concepts - symbiosis and separation.
Wu Zhihong, a teacher in China, put forward a concept based on this when studying the phenomenon of giant babies—— pathological symbiosis (symbiotic strangulation).
I personally think that "The Witch" has become a classic because the focus of the story also accuses how the morbid symbiosis eats people and devours blood.
When it comes to concepts, maybe some people start to have a headache.
But in fact, for everyone living in East Asian society, this is not difficult to understand.
The so-called pathological symbiosis, simply put, refers to an unhealthy intimate relationship caused by the failure to separate from the original family during the growth process.
Why is separation so difficult?
Often one parent refuses to separate.
The unknown father in the play is particularly classic.
is like many giant babies who have not lived out themselves in reality. His life is not satisfactory, so he uses control to suck blood from the next generation.
ask children to follow the path they have traveled and live the life they have planned.
Once his needs are not met, he "strangles" the child's ego in the name of love.
treat children as belongings, not as individuals.
But I would rather talk about Light's mother, an unconventional and more devastating case.
Usually, when a mother learns that her child is in love, if she has concerns, it is nothing more than worrying about whether he will be hurt.
But how did light's mother warn the unknown?
如果这孩子不在我身边
我就活不下去了
我绝对不会把小光交给你
这无论如何都不像一个母亲会说的话，更像情敌的较量。
But it is not accurate to say that she loves children.
In order to make Guang forget the unknown, she once did an unreasonable thing: spending money to buy sex services for Guang. What is the reason for
to do this?
We are one body with two sides, your life can only be controlled by me.
you onlyYou can love someone I pick, others can't.
Look, a poor mother who is swallowed by the desire to control and puts all her energy on her child.
In her opinion, every time a child desires to be separated, he is betraying her and abandoning her.
She suppresses and escapes.
If the other party is determined to take back his life and separate from her, she will threaten her life, and even perish with the child.
Morbid symbiosis has developed to the point of being extremely variable and killing people, which is terrifying to this point.
But what is more terrifying? Before the
giant baby became a giant baby, it was also a victim of being "strangled" by another giant baby.
This is not a generational mistake.
is the result of generation after generation of ego and life not being stretched.
The only way to end the cycle is to betray.
just like the light and the unknown do.
Say no to "strangulation" and take back your manipulated life, even if it means a painful break with the world.
But to be precise, the real person who goes to the snow with a salary in the play is only unknown.
Especially after she became pregnant, her bravery was regardless of the cost, and her betrayal was completely decisive.
was so decisive in the later stage that he looked a little ruthless.
When she found out that Kwang became hesitant because of her mother's suicide attempt, she even made a choice between love and herself and betrayed Kwang.
decided to fight even if he was alone.
But because of her betrayal was thorough enough, her life was reborn through separation.
even influenced the women around her, making the mother finally decide to divorce, and the female student who was domestically abused walked out of the shadows...
Even Guang's mother came to the realization at the end of the story: what is best for the child Love is letting him soar.
At this point, there is no need to say why "The Witch" is difficult to reproduce.
you can hardly even find a replacement.
For most of the episodes of Forbidden Love, love and freedom are always the most convenient and flattering themes.
But The Witch goes further and further.
It is the victory of the individual, the victory of the ego, the victory of the woman, the victory of the next generation.
Even 23 years later, not many works can reach this level.
