何弃疗的查理·考夫曼
本片结尾，查理·考夫曼在车里用一句 "who cares what Mckee says?" 宣告自己最终放弃治疗，他知道自己无力用一个意识形态的心灵鸡汤包装一个标准的好莱坞故事了，但他也不在乎了。
这里“意识形态”用的是它比较原始的意思，“错误的观念”。阿尔都塞曾拿意识形态与科学对立，比方说现在我们现在有一些科学原理解释打雷闪电的成因，但这之前人类就只能用雷神敲锤或其他类似的神话故事来解释，这些神话故事就是一种意识形态。阴谋论也是一种意识形态，例如说王朝灭亡因为农民战争，农民战争又因为土地集中，基本就属于一种阴谋论，把一些可能相关的事情用因果律串联起来，让人感觉“确实很有道理啊”，但实际上相关性推不出因果关系。
可是“无巧不成书”，电影的本质就是制造意识形态的，例如库里肖夫著名的蒙太奇实验，镜头之间没有任何事实上的逻辑关系，全靠观众脑补出来一个完整的故事情节。意识形态就是在两个镜头之间被创造出来了，因此我们可以做一个假设，意识形态就是在信息不完备的情况下产生的。例如我们晚上“怕鬼”的意识形态就是因为夜晚周围的视觉信息缺乏，亲王在知乎上对“如何克服晚上怕鬼”的解答就是，尽可能脑补四周的信息。同样，张戎深知打破对毛主席的偶像崇拜，首先是补充他生活上的细节：他不爱洗澡，不刷牙，而且便秘（请花半小时想象你偶像便秘时的各种情景）。
《爸爸去哪儿》据说一集要拍摄1000小时的素材，最后只播出90分钟。看真人秀节目的时候，我都想到《爱在黎明破晓时》里 Jesse 在火车上对 Celine 说他的电视梦想：找365个人，拍他们24小时的生活，起床洗脸刷牙做饭洗碗等等，每天播24小时连播365天。Celine说谁会看这种无聊的日常生活，Jesse说这叫“每日诗意”（poetry of day-to-day life）我们想想如果《爸爸去哪儿》完整播放1000小时素材会是什么效果，不要配乐也不要配可爱的字幕，我猜完全是一场灾难，因为抹杀了意识形态成长的空间。田亮亲身经历 Cindy 说“生日快乐”的时候表现尴尬，但回看节目的时候就泛起泪花，节目比现实要感人得多。《感动中国》这类鸡汤节目，用几个镜头就交代了一个人几十年，意识形态在镜头之间野蛮生长，难怪观众看得稀里哗啦。
好了，最后要说查理·考夫曼为何要放弃治疗，不听 McKee 的话，安排一个精彩的剧情，再讲一个“发人深省”的道理呢？在他的《纽约提喻法》里似乎给了我们答案：
Everything is more complicated than you think. You only see a tenth of what is true. There are a million little strings attached to every choice you make; you can destroy your life every time you choose. But maybe you won't know for twenty years. And you may never ever trace it to its source. And you only get one chance to play it out. Just try and figure out your own divorce. And they say there is no fate, but there is: it's what you create. And even though the world goes on for eons and eons, you are only here for a fraction of a fraction of a second. Most of your time is spent being dead or not yet born. But while alive, you wait in vain, wasting years, for a phone call or a letter or a look from someone or something to make it all right. And it never comes or it seems to but it doesn't really. And so you spend your time in vague regret or vaguer hope that something good will come along. Something to make you feel connected, something to make you feel whole, something to make you feel loved. And the truth is I feel so angry, and the truth is I feel so fucking sad, and the truth is I've felt so fucking hurt for so fucking long and for just as long I've been pretending I'm OK, just to get along, just for, I don't know why, maybe because no one wants to hear about my misery, because they have their own. Well, fuck everybody. Amen.
前面是说意识形态之不可能：Everything is more complicated than you think. You only see a tenth of what is true. There are a million little strings attached to every choice you make; you can destroy your life every time you choose. But maybe you won't know for twenty years. And you may never ever trace it to its source.
后面是说心灵鸡汤之不可靠：you are only here for a fraction of a fraction of a second. Most of your time is spent being dead or not yet born. But while alive, you wait in vain, wasting years, for a phone call or a letter or a look from someone or something to make it all right. And it never comes or it seems to but it doesn't really.
因为考夫曼的 loser 感深埋心间，所以他放弃 McKee 这样成功人士的治疗的理由只有一个：说到底谁不是 loser 呢？你对整个人类来说有何意义，整个人类对宇宙来说又有何意义。
Indeed, who cares what McKee says?
