The horror hotel is real.

The film truly reproduces the "India 9 1 1" terrorist attack in Mumbai that shocked the world. On June165438+1October, 2008, the famous taj mahal hotel was accidentally invaded by terrorists, who indiscriminately killed the hotel, and the whole hotel fell into despair. /kloc-more than 0/00 hotel guests and employees are trapped, and no one knows when they can wait for rescue.

Over the years, we have become accustomed to seeing those screen heroes, just like the characters in Marvel comics, who can do anything in the sky and underground. However, in the context of real life, will these heroes still exist?

There are many real tragedies of terrorist attacks in human history that we can't bear to look back, and there are also many movies that reflect such events, such as the film and television drama about 9. 1 1, such as Flight 93, Munich focusing on the Munich tragedy, Patriot Day focusing on the Boston terrorist attacks, and 15.65438 about the Paris train terrorist attacks.

Mumbai Hotel truly reproduces the "India 0 1 1" Mumbai terrorist incident that shocked the world. The plot is simple and straightforward, and the characters are introduced from several simple perspectives. It's that simple. There is no cause and effect, and there is no sign. With a gunshot, the killing began.

"Turn on the phone, I want to hear their crying with my own eyes."

It was an unsuspecting massacre, and the heavily armed attackers walked and strafed the people they met. Real bloody head shots, brutal killings, all those who have experienced it are hiding in fear, playing a horrible version of cat-and-mouse game, waiting for death.

I have to mention the law and order in India. Although Mumbai is a metropolis with a population of tens of millions, there are no special forces and few police officers in charge of public security. Most of them are just equipped with wooden sticks. If you want to destroy the terrorist attackers, you must transfer troops from Delhi hundreds of kilometers away for dozens of hours.

Under this indiscriminate killing, no one has the aura of the protagonist. The ordinary people in the train station, the lovers whispering in the coffee shop and the grandiose figures in the Taj Mahal Hotel all look small and humble under the brutal gun.

Perhaps I have seen too many personal heroes, and I always feel that someone will rise, and there are always some inexplicable hopes in my heart.

However, the fact is so cruel and true. Americans are willing to sacrifice the chance to escape and will eventually be shot for their children. Pretending to be inscrutable, the former Russian special forces were shot in the head without resistance, and the sense of helplessness swallowed up the whole person's heart. Yes, that kind of despair and helplessness on the verge of death has plunged everyone into great fear.

From a psychological point of view, fear is a very nervous emotional reaction under the influence of terrible scenes. Especially when this situation can deprive people of important needs, such as threatening people's life safety, reputation, future and economic interests, fear will dominate people's whole body and mind.

Under the control of fear, the selfishness, cowardice, humbleness and helplessness of human nature are vividly reflected. At the beginning of the terrorist attack, helpless and panicked people in the street crowded in front of the hotel, hoping to find a shelter.

Some people in the hotel lobby watched the development of the situation, and some shouted not to let them in. At this time, the scene of warm heart appeared. The lobby manager opened the hotel door, embraced the panicked crowd and brought the terrorists into the hotel.

What should I do? Perhaps someone will accuse the lobby manager, whose behavior has brought even greater disaster. But what if you put yourself in the other's shoes? What if at that moment, you were a frightened crowd outside the hotel?

Besides, for terrorists, a gate can't stop them at all, just killing people for a moment at night.

This scene is reproduced in the VIP bar in the back.

For people who are in deep disaster and panic, VIP bar is undoubtedly the safest place. Human nature is selfish and greedy. They didn't want others to threaten their own safety, so they blocked the door from opening. At this moment, the respected chef stood up. He opened the door and accepted the crowd outside asking for help.

A wise cook is keenly aware of the fear and panic in the crowd and handles it properly. The receptionist would rather be shot in the head than be an accomplice in a bloody massacre. Sikh waiters used their courage and wisdom to eliminate the anxiety of the old British lady and saved many people. It can be said that the most shining group in the whole film is the service staff of these hotels.

They are weak, but they are great. In this disaster, no matter what choice you make, you can't overdo it. After all, as the chef said, everyone has a family and a life, and it is not shameful to choose to escape. However, it is undoubtedly valuable to stand up bravely in the face of death.

Suicide terrorism means to attract the attention of the target or the public, spread the atmosphere of terror, kill innocent people voluntarily and sacrifice their own lives in exchange for the success of the task by mutually destroying selected targets, so as to achieve a certain religious, political or social purpose. Suicide terrorists have no single psychological characteristics, and their motives are complicated. They may commit suicide terrorist attacks for religious or political purposes, or they may make choices based on rational analysis.

Throughout the film, terrorists are cruel and bloody, and their youth and ignorance are also impressive.

These young people come from the mountainous areas of Pakistan and live in poverty. All education and medical care are unattainable. For them, the magic of the food and toilet in the hotel is enough to make them jump for joy. At the moment of death, the dialogue between terrorists and their families showed their youth and immaturity.

But they have the strongest belief, and round after round of brainwashing training has strengthened their hatred and self-sacrifice for pagans. More importantly, in addition to moral support, their suicide attacks can also bring 10 thousand dollars to their families and improve their social and economic status.

They are convinced that this kind of suicide terrorist attack will bring great harm to the enemy and cause great fear and anxiety to the enemy. They lack channels to express their interests and fight for legal rights, and suicide terrorist attacks have become crazy and reckless means of revenge they use in despair.

Some religious fanatics even regard themselves as martyrs or martyrs. They believe that it is an obligation to protect their religion. After death, they can go to heaven and avoid the pain of reincarnation, and they will be respected by future generations and live in people's memories forever.

From a psychological point of view, the favorite recruitment targets of terrorist organizations are young people who are immature in mind, agree with revenge culture, have suffered serious psychological trauma, have the idea of sacrificing for the organization, and are influenced by extreme religious culture.

Like other disasters, experiencing terrorist events can lead to some mental diseases. People who are directly exposed will experience psychological pain; Because it is uncertain who is exposed to danger and who will be attacked, many people who are not exposed to danger will experience the same pain.

For most people, these acute psychological reactions will be solved over time. This reaction of a few people will not end, but will develop into psychological and mental disorders. Such as acute stress disorder (ASO), PTSD, depression, phobia, alcohol and nicotine abuse.

Most people's post-traumatic mental symptoms after terrorist attacks are short-lived. Early symptoms will disappear with education, rest and keeping normal biological rhythm (sleeping on time and eating on time). Media reports can be both reassuring and worrying, and limiting reports can minimize confusion. In particular, educating children and spouses of the injured is not only helpful for treatment, but also helps to find out whether the symptoms are aggravated and persistent.

If the symptoms persist, psychological and medical treatment is needed. However, PTSD is not the only obstacle related to trauma. After the terrorist incident, people's risk of suffering from depression, generalized anxiety disorder and panic disorder increased significantly, and substance abuse also increased. Medical diseases involving psychological factors have also increased dramatically-from heart disease to diabetes. It is important that the injured survivors will affect their physical condition because of psychological factors.

Traumatic events can be followed by traumatic loss, unexplained physical symptoms, depression, sleep disorders, alcohol and caffeine, tobacco abuse, family conflicts and violence. Anger, doubt, sadness, anxiety, fear and irritability are common emotional reactions.

As the film said, after the Taj Mahal Hotel reopened, many tourists returned to the hotel to mourn the dark moment. For them, this is also a kind of spiritual mourning.

Mourning is the key to help us recover from loss and trauma!

In De Lilio's novel Falling Man, two people who suffered the same psychological trauma, Leon, through active communication and thinking, successfully realized empathy and achieved the goal of self-salvation after a period of psychological adjustment, which can be said to be a mourner. Although the pain still exists, she has regained her confidence and courage in life.

On the contrary, Keith refused to admit the fact that his friend had left, and constantly condemned his inaction in helping his friend. He fell into depression for a long time, failed to realize empathy smoothly, and finally failed to be redeemed and became a permanent depressed patient.

In any case, in order to get out of the psychological trauma, the mourner must face and experience all the pain he has lost forever, including love, sadness, anger, jealousy, hatred and other feelings. These feelings take a long time to face and digest.

Some people may need a year or so to recover, and some people may have difficulty crossing this hurdle in their hearts for many years.
