After the movie: ''GLASS''


Why we can't be a real Superman physically?


    After the movie, I found that there are more philosophies question that being talked on the big screen, maybe people start to think of the possibility that knowing some detail of what the philosopher had said. The hardest part that starts thinking which is not knowing how to and where to enter, the big screen will be a good option and popular culture enhance more opportunity which can let them as the shining star that is seen in the night.


     This movie is the sequel of Split. If you just see the movie and not analyze too deep, maybe it is just a horror movie to you, but if you think extensively, you may realize that is more than a horror movie but a philosophy style. 


Why and How it can be a philosophy style? 


    The central idea of each movie should have a soul, that means we would see what it tells us and gives us something, not just sitting there and gain nothing but how strong the sound and light effect. So that is why philosophy needs to come into movies. Get through the plots and dialogues, you can learn some ideas from each leading role plays,  something inside the movie, not just how it can give us, but understand how important the issue that affected us, even the society.


What Glass try to say?


    The movie ''Glass'' try to give us an idea that ''consciousness'' determine our body, it is not an exception of extra-human being, but all man can do it through eliminating the prejudice of this ''normal world''. What is the prejudice about the normal world? That means when people born, human's consciousness had been constructed by education, that enhances how to see and how we look the world, conscious is not a specific existing thing or unchanged being, it is more like a growing tree. For example, Kevin has 24 different identities in one body, his body follows identities change which has a different distinguishing feature, that means there are 24 bodies feature. One of the strongest body as a beast which even can be bulletproof, one of the weakest body have diabetes. Obviously, what can consciousness really do? Can it really affect one's mind and body?


     There is a famous psychology experiment by psychologist and the death penalty prisoner. When the execution day comes, First, they put the prisoner on the chair and masked. Second, they told him that they will cut a big wound on his wrist. (Actually, they just put some ice cube surrounded on his wrist that meant to cheat that you have already bleeding. ) Third, make some sound like water falling and told him that the water falling sound was your bleeding sound. You may doubt that how can human die through this experiment which he does not hurt, but at the end of the psychology experiment, he died eventually. 


    So, who killed him? The obvious answer was his conscious. If human beings can kill by themselves, why they can not fly or be a real Superman? There are a lot of debates about conscious in philosophy and another field, but no one can prove or explain how can we control our consciousness by free will, and free will is not equal to consciousness. 


    The movie also reminds us that people now days keep telling themselves that problem-solving which has to be done by materials instead of their own mind. Such as a little fever, parents are used to taking their child to the doctor, they think that medicine can heal anything but ignore the power from themselves. Actually, as my experience, the immune system can solve so many problems, you just need to maintain its strength in the ordinary days. We can realize a fact in the class that children always easily get sick after they recovered.


Experience

    

    I got an ''H1N1'' at my college time, it was a very serious flu in that era, I even can't breathe when I lay down in my bed. My roommate called 119 and took me to the hospital, I insisted that I didn't want to use any kind of medicine and just let me get some test and rest, after my respiratory system in a stable condition, I left the hospital and quarantine in my home. Two weeks later, I went back to the hospital to had some test that needed to report to the department of health,  I will never forget that doctor who seems confused and surprised and said: Why you recover so soon and there is almost no virus in your body, are you sure that you are the same guy last two weeks? I still don't know the reason, but one thing certain is that I don't take medicine after third grade till now(20 years), and I believe that the power in me can do more than just protect me but make me more strong beyond the boundary of my knowledge.
