The fundamental reason for being called a deviant is that these people have a different logic than most people. Many people may not like the idea of staying away from the crowd, and there are some who would advise these people to try to stay close to the crowd and wear down any misfit elements in themselves, etc. However, people generally forget to ask why you should stay away from the crowd.
However, people generally forget to ask, why do you want to stay away from the crowd, and how does it affect your normal life? It’s a simple question, and it’s easy to find the answer to, yet no one is willing to go into it or even ask the question.
However, when we try very hard to ask the question, we find that the answer is very simple: some people don’t like crowds, but they can’t avoid them in real life, so they are happy to be by themselves when they don’t have to be alone with a crowd. But unfortunately, this simple idea alone doesn’t always work well.
The film we present to you today is about a family that does not fit in with the crowd. The story of the family comes from the woman of the house, hence the name of the film, The Drunken Woman.
The Drunken Woman is about a housewife whose daily hobby is drinking, but when she is drunk, she does something out of the ordinary and appears to be not very clear in her head. The husband of the family, however, is a very conscientious worker. He was tolerant of his wife, but gradually lost patience with her prolonged hysteria.
Eventually, the family conflict erupted, the wife was sent to a nursing home, and the husband slowly began to focus his efforts on his family. Eventually, the wife was discharged from the hospital and the family was reunited, but will everything return to normal?
The film uses a hysterical woman to draw out the social contradictions of 1970s America. On the one hand, people have to reach out to society in order to survive, yet on the other hand, when it comes to claiming their freedom, the first thing they need is the right to do with their own time. It has been said that freedom is not doing what you want to do, but not doing what you don’t want to do. That’s very appropriate in this film.
We see on the surface the hysteria of the woman and the hysteria of the man under her influence, but in fact the cause of this hysteria is the collision between free thought and social life.
What the man and the woman really want in their hearts is to be alone together, but this alone time is always disrupted by the various parties. They don’t want to have so many people to share their good times with, but in reality they repeatedly fail to do so. In the end, we see that the woman finally breaks down.
But is it all over when the man sends his wife to a mental hospital? Apparently not, and the man did not completely resolve this deep-seated conflict in his life, which is why he caught the same emotion while his wife was away.
This is not a mental illness, but simply an incompatibility with the real world. The man’s family wanted to live a life where they could spend their free time on their own, but that free time was repeatedly interrupted by all sorts of things. Eventually the family spiraled out of control.
No one wants to be subservient to the crowd, yet everyone has to deal with the daily interruptions of social life. Of course, one needs to be able to spend time with oneself in one’s free time. It is because of this need that when people or things that infringe on our free time appear, we are left in a state of anger and incomprehension when we confront them.
Imagine the hysteria of the hostess in the first place. The first time the woman indulges her anger in an extreme way, it’s the first trigger in the film, as her husband bails on a date with her and chooses to work overtime with his fellow workers.
As the layers of the story evolve, we see everything moving at full speed in an uncontrollable direction, and eventually, the woman goes into the sanitarium. However, this is not the end of the story, the end of the story is that everyone starts to get infected by the emotions, and the reason for this is the proliferation of liberal ideas in the United States in the 1970’s. There is a general awakening of a sense of freedom. A general awakening of a sense of freedom began to consciously or unconsciously resist group life. This was the source of the conflict.
When people’s sense of freedom began to awaken, collective life seemed to be an unholy antithesis, so this contradiction is transferred to this film, which has the effect of making everyone in the film hysterically mad. The source of this hysteria, however, is simple. When people need to be alone, group living is a disaster.
This is commonplace in today’s American society, where people tend to defend their private property against invasion, and where the former low-level workers fade into obscurity and are eventually replaced by the American middle class. The middle class has moved from simple parties to vacationing on the beach.
As more and more emphasis was placed on personal space, group recreation and unnecessary contact with society became less and less of an issue. As a result, the social ties between people become less and less strong. Ultimately, this film aims to show us that when personal space is reduced, everyone has the potential to become a psychopath.
