爱是真正的医生

这是一部讲述精神病人及治疗方法的电影， 虽然故事情节没有《禁闭岛》那样引人入胜，扣人心弦，但这真的可以说是一部好片。片中许多情节和暗示首尾呼应，需要看第二遍时才能领会其中的精妙，例如，男主拿出怀表看时间时痴醉的眼神，他为什么会去玩弄骷髅头去电青蛙，以及他对女主所说的每一句欲言又止的话。。。
而主题曲通过女主亲自弹奏出来，更是令该片的配乐与故事情节和人物刻画完美结合，浑然一体，特别是结尾的画面简直太美想重复看。

当然，最重要的还是片中关于精神治疗的探索，绝对是达到了灵性电影的新高度。虽然我不是医生不懂精神治疗，但是觉得影片中关于精神治疗的方法大概可分为三类：
一、以痛止痛式的疗法。这是老院长使用的方法，这种疗法在今天看起来显得粗暴残忍，甚至丧心病狂。不过在一百多年前的时代，当精神治疗问题还是如此神秘莫测，医生用这种方法又不能不说是一种探索尝试，通过让患者面对最痛苦的事情，以此来控制/克服恐惧。这种疗法的效果显然差强人意，往往是让患者旧痛不去，反增新苦。
不过，认识到内心的“恐惧”是一切精神问题的罪魁祸首这一点却是对的。只是这种“恐惧”隐藏涵盖之深，恐怕不只是一百年前的人所知甚少，一百年后的人估计也不会了解的太多。。。
二、自然疗法。Dr. Lamb控制医院后，将正常的医护人员关在地下室，而把病人当做正常人，虽然病人看似可以正常生活，但是也无法得到真正的治愈。
三、角色代入疗法。Newgate治疗绝食婆婆时，用这种先肯定和认同病人的幻觉，与之建立信任关系，然后再慢慢启发她面对真相。。。这。。。这不正是圣灵唤醒我们所用的方法吗？简直不能赞的更多。
    回想一下那个画面，在一群疯子之间，一个疯子在医治另一个连医生都无法治愈的疯子？这他妈的到底谁是医生谁是疯子啊，学习ACIM的朋友这时想必会心领神会了，这不是在说，爱 (圣灵)才是真正的医生吗。

台词赏析：
------------------
What's it like? To be in love?
（小女孩问Eliza的这句话或可说是最关键的一句台词了，串联了整部电影的思想内涵，当时Eliza欲言又止，我以为是因为那种感觉难以言表，直到影片的最后才恍然明白那不是因为Eliza无法言表，而是因为当时她也不知道！）
-----------------
Eliza: Why did you come here?
Newgate: I came here for you.
Eliza: For me? Why?
Newgate: I-I saw you six months ago at a medical lecture.
I saw you.
You looked so lost and so beautiful.
It sickened me to see you exhibited like a sideshow freak.
I would have stopped it if I could, but I couldn't.
I-I couldn't.
So, I vowed there and then that I would find you
and that nothing would stop me.
Eliza: Did you even know my name?
Newgate: It didn't matter.
Eliza: No, it does matter.
Saying otherwise proves you're no better than any of them.
Newgate: Than who?
Eliza: My family, my doctors, my husband.
You act like I'm some precious thing to be bartered
or put on display or possessed.
Newgate: It-It's not like that with me, Eliza.
Eliza: No? How is it different?
Newgate: It's you who possesses me.
（与通常的爱情故事不同，Newgate的这一见钟情包含的不仅仅是爱情。。。）
-------------------------
Dr. Lamb: We're all mad, Dr. Newgate.
Some are simply not mad enough to admit it.
（我们都疯了，只是大部分人都不敢承认，又或者压根就没有意识到而已！）
------------------------
Newgate: You know, Eliza said you were always very kind to her
and the other patients.
Marion: I loved them like my own children.
Newgate: Even Lamb?
Marion: There is some good even in poor Silas.
Though I fear it has become deranged by madness.
Newgate: How do I understand him?
Marion: Your first instinct was the right one.
Think of him as your patient.
Shine the light of your sympathy into the darkest corners of his mind,
and maybe then you'll find what he so desperately wants
to keep hidden from you and from himself.
Only then will you have what you need.
Newgate: To defeat him?
Marion: No. To heal him.
（令人尊敬的Marion医生）
---------------------
Eliza: Help me. One of you. Please, I'm not mad.........
（许多人都听到了Eliza的求救之声，可是没有人会相信她帮助她，除非他也是个疯子,被爱/圣灵感召的疯子。。。。）
