Since the release of the Dragon Boat Festival in 2023, the movie 'Gone Her' has quickly attracted the attention and discussion of audiences across the country with its strong plot reversal and oppressive suspense atmosphere. The box office of the film exceeded 2.2 billion, which further triggered a wave of 'the application of psychology in movies'.
The film is produced by Chen Sicheng and starring Zhu Yilong , Ni Ni , Janice Man and Du Jiang . It is adapted from the former Soviet film 'The Trap Set for Bachelors', and it also integrates the real incident of cheating and pushing his wife off the cliff. The three core characters, He Fei , Li Muzi and Chen Man, engage in psychological games in the interweaving of emotions and lies, and there is a confrontation between human nature and psychological tactics everywhere.
This article will take stock of the secret and high-energy psychological effects in the movie for you, and combine the knowledge of real psychology to reveal the manipulation logic behind the plot of the movie.
1. Mandela effect: the psychological trap of forging memory
Keywords: memory deviation, collective misunderstanding, forgery of facts
The Mandela effect refers to people's false and even collective false memories of certain events. The most famous example is that a large number of people mistakenly believe that former South African President Mandela died as early as the last century, but in fact he died in 2013.
🎬 In the movie, He Fei used the forged timeline and physical evidence to make everyone around him, including the police, believe that Li Muzi had 'appeared again', creating collective memory deviations, thus covering up his crimes. This kind of psychological operation is almost equivalent to 'cognitive manipulation'.
📌 The Mandela effect is widely present in reality, especially in witness testimony and media communication.
2. Suspension bridge effect: Falling in love with you is not because of you, but because I am afraid
Keywords: misattribute, dangerous situation, emotional connection
The misattribution of arousal refers to the fact that when a person encounters the opposite sex in a high arousal state (such as fear and tension), he or she is prone to mistakenly understands his or her physical reactions such as rapid heartbeat as love.
🎬 In the movie, He Fei carefully designed scare scenes such as traffic accidents, which made Mu Zi feel attached to him under a stressed state. Muzi's own traumatic experience (who died in a car accident) further amplifies his sense of dependence on the 'life-savior'.
🧠This psychological mechanism is widely used in situations such as love, marketing, and cult manipulation, and is a typical 'emotional misleading effect'.
3. Halo effect: Fall in love with it once, all filters are
Keywords: generalization based on partiality, cognitive bias, blind love period
Halo effect refers to people who evaluate the other party as a whole because of a certain advantage and ignore other shortcomings. It is particularly common in love. People often ignore the naked 'red flag' behavior because of the other person's appearance and talent.
🎬 Muzi is addicted to He Fei's taste in art and literature. The two are obsessed with Van Gogh together. This sense of high similarity makes her relax her guard and even forgive each other's gambling, violence, and escape again and again. I fell in love with him because you thought you 'understand' him.
💡 Halo effect often occurs in intimate relationships and workplace judgments, which is a typical interpersonal misjudgment trap.
4. Exposure effect: The more common, the more trust it is.
Keywords: familiarity preferences, recurrence, trust establishment
The exposure effect means that people are more likely to like things or people they have seen repeatedly, even if they don’t understand their essence. It is widely used in advertising, workplace social networking, and elections.
🎬 Shenman uses this effect as an undercover character. By continuing to appear in He Fei's vision and cleverly 'create chance encounters', she won the other party's trust step by step, and finally set up a reverse plan.
📌 In reality, you can often break through the threshold of trust by showing your presence, familiarizing yourself with your face, and encountering them N times.
✅ Have you also seen these psychological manipulations in 'The Lost Her'?
The above four psychological effects are just the tip of the iceberg. In fact, the reason why 'Gone Her' makes the audience 'very terrifying' is precisely because of its exquisite restoration and application of psychological effects . Behind each character's behavior, there is a trembling psychological mechanism.
