The best psychological films about the courage of confrontation

Talk about cinema is better to start with the definition of a genre, interesting to the author. To psychological films often include thrillers, detectives and dramas. But the best psychological films, as a rule, are created using dramatic plot-forming elements, and action-sensitive components (detective etc.) are used to give the narrative dynamism and mysterious unpredictability.

The names of the films, which will be discussed below, rank first in the ratings of movie sites. They have been tested for many years by spectators and continue to be popular.

The best psychological films are interesting in that they make viewers think about important world problems. Their plot completely captures the viewer's attention, not letting go even after the final short title "The End." A person, being impressed, gets an opportunity to look at the social and personal problems differently, if he managed to watch timely psychological films in a timely manner.

"Mind games" start the lists of many ratings. In this biographical drama from the section of world cinema "Best psychological films", it is told about the life of American genius-economist John Nash. His courageous history of passion and triumph dates back to his youth when John studied at Princeton. During his studies, he falls ill with progressive paranoid schizophrenia, accompanied by auditory and visual hallucinations, which Nash takes for reality. This leads to the fact that the work is under attack, and in family and friendships is a complicated situation. Only the awareness of the presence of the disease and the devotion of the wife helped the scientist ... no, not recover - the disease, unfortunately, is incurable - but to live, work productively, afterwards received as a reward for the result of his scientific and life achievement the Nobel Prize.

After the release of the film on the screens in the early 90's critics wrote that the "Fight Club" can be proud of as a man's film manifesto of his time. Men finally realized that they need to meet some norms of masculinity that have developed in society, and at the same time to lead the non-life way of life that is implanted in them. In other words, the picture about fighters' underground movement, which is included in the best psychological films, tells how the globalist stereotypes created by consumer and advertising society are detrimental to male health. Nature has laid in the man the makings of a hunter, and he lives in abundance of things, where there is nothing to struggle, there is nothing to overcome and explore. He begins to look for a way out, trying to adapt to the world of shopping, becoming "manual" and not dangerous, paying for adaptation by insomnia and depression.

In fact, in the form of brutal fighting fights, the characters of the film - the soap seller and the nameless storyteller - found the exit channel for primary male aggression and a shocking new form of psychotherapy. But the problem was that the released "genie" of hostility can not be controlled later. To prevent a global social catastrophe, the hero had to kill in himself an elemental aggressor, an uncontrolled, violent part of his "I".

The problem of control over social behavior is raised by the film "Flight over the Cuckoo's Nest", a picture of a psychiatric hospital and the dull life of its inhabitants. The conflict of drama is concluded in the confrontation between two people or a free person and society, if we look more broadly. The authoritarian and conservative part of citizens who want to control everything "not by rustling out" and "strife" is personified by the quiet, but sinister nurse Ratched, who has almost an undivided power in the psychiatric ward. Externally and internally free from the conventions of public morality, people who have retained the spirit of the rebellious 60's are represented by the witty, charming hooligan Randall McMurphy. All his activities to break the order in the separation and demoralization of the thinking part of the patients led to a paradox - the improvement of their mental state, especially the young Bibit, to whom Randel helped solve several of his problems.

But the positive changes had no significance for the psychiatric sister Ratched. She declared McMurphy crazy and socially dangerous only because he infected her patients with the spirit of freedom, which threatened her with a lot of inconvenience, and most importantly loss of power over them. With such violators of tranquility, the society is cruel and merciless, isolating and carrying out operations on the brain, making them controlled, but hopelessly sick and socially insolvent people.

All three films presented are far from new psychological films that have already become classics of dramatic cinematography. They talk about a lot, in particular, about the courage and courage shown by the heroes of going beyond ordinary human behavior.
