Reflect The Truth

Dual: A short film of the last dream

 

 

A young girl committed suicide by drowning herself in water during the middle of the night. Just a few seconds before her death she experienced three layers of dreams, where she met her other selves.

A journey of subconsciousness and self identities to reach your purest, unaffected self, produced by LIV TIGER, directed by Bingmi Zhou.

Featuring J.E.CAI. ” Another me ” couture collection.

 

Philosophy:

Story inspired by Adam Smith’s book ” The Moral Sentiments”.

Adam Smith, the great 18th century economist wrote a less well-known book called Theory of Moral Sentiments.

In it, he explained the multifold self can make a person become his own’ impartial spectator’.

The ‘ Observing self ‘, the part of you that is able to detach from you and observe what the rest of yourself is doing.

The person within– an impartial and well informed spectator, has the ability to stand outside oneself and see one’s actions, not conscience but simply observer.

He named the ‘ detached spectator’ as the true guardian of correct behavior.

Picture it as a human living inside you, detached, isolated.

Observing you as a object.

 

What if that, hypothetically, is your pure self?

短片:Dual (双重)最后的一个梦

伦敦午夜,一个年轻女孩在自己的公寓溺水自杀了。包裹在浴缸的冷水里,她生命最终的几秒在大脑意识里变成了三重奇幻的梦境,她潜入意识的深层看见了不同形态下的自己。

一段关于潜在意识和自我认知的旅程,一直通向不被任何事物影响或改变的至纯的自我。

 

哲学构思:

故事的灵感源于18世纪英国古典政治经济学,西方当代经济学之父,哲学家:亚当史密斯的哲学著作《 道德情操论》。在这本著作里,他阐述了多重的自我可以使个人成为自己的“公正旁观者”。

一个“观察者自我”,即得以从人类意识中自我分离/隔离的一个部分,作为纯粹的旁观者观察其余自我意识的行为。又可称为最深处的那个人— 所谓“当局者迷,旁观者清。”,“观察者”具有站在主观意识在外,完全客观,绝对公正地观察意识及本体行为的能力。

亚当史密斯将其命名为“超脱现实的观察者”,将其视为正确行为的真正守护着。

试着想像它是生活在你体内的一个人,脱离显示,隔离于其他意识。

并观察着你的一举一动仿佛你是一件物品。

如果我说,假设它才是你至纯的自我呢。
