🎬 Filmtastic Review… 一念無明 Mad World

無明係一個佛家的概念, 形容人有所執取,為煩惱的根源。主角對母親的死滿懐愧疚, 對父親一走了之不能釋懷,最後患上躁鬱症。然而躁鬱症與其他情緒病一樣不能只對病人説看開點,問題就能迎刃而解。個人解開心結當然重要, 但社會的配套亦不容忽視。

「我唔需要你地幫佢，只要你地唔好圍埋踩多佢一腳就得架嘞」

劇中這句更是令人心酸。

‘Ignorance’ is a Buddhist concept, describes people are obsessed with sth/sb, which is the root cause of trouble. The protagonist is fully guilty about his mother’s death, as well as held a grudge towards his father irresponsibility and thus finally he suffers from bipolar disorder. However, bipolar disorder like other emotional diseases cannot be healed by telling the patient to be optimistic. Untying the individual knot of course is important, but the social support cannot be neglected either. The dialogue “I do not need you guys to help, just please don’t add insult to injury” is literally heart-aching to hear.
