Since the new era, many film and television works have begun to use the elderly group as the protagonist of the storytelling, showing the living conditions of the elderly from the perspective of the elderly. On the one hand, these works can become a window into the lives of contemporary elderly people. On the other hand, it can also focus the public's attention on the elderly group and pay attention to the emotional needs of the elderly group.
Movies about the elderly have different degrees of performance on the moral orientation, ethical environment, and family care of the elderly. In the past, films about the elderly often focused on real issues such as family and children to show the ethical dilemmas of the elderly. Since the beginning of the 21st century, in domestic film and television works such as "The One Who Loves Me Most in the World", "Before the Bed of a Long Illness", "Happy Funeral", "Where to Come Home", "Mom", "I Love You" and other domestic film and television works, the image of the elderly has changed from a negative focus on loss and death to an active pursuit of emotional needs.
The image of the elderly has been reshaped, and the public should also reflect on why the theme of love in the elderly group is rareWhy do the public have negative stereotypes about the elderly group?
There is no doubt that life and death will inevitably be the theme of life in old age. However, psychology believes that there is also a positive side to the elderly in a series of inherent images of high anxiety and high depression. Psychologist Erickson believes that the elderly individual needs to overcome pessimism and despair to achieve the goal of creating a happy life. Positive psychology believes that when the elderly have higher social support, the elderly's sense of adaptability and control will increase, and the ability of the elderly to cope with various difficulties will also be enhanced. When the emotional needs of the elderly reach a high level of satisfaction, they actively seek out to obtain more social support.
The development of the Internet provides a new channel for the elderly to expand their emotional network, and the phenomenon of the elderly chasing stars highlights the emotional lack of the elderly in real life, and the emotional needs of the elderly are still not met!The reason is that the public's perception of the emotional needs of the elderly only stays at the family level, and pays less attention to the social and emotional levels. Due to various restrictions such as cultural environment, economic status, and physical condition, it is difficult for them to express their active sense of love, and their emotional aspects are increasingly hindered.
Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to the emotional needs of the elderly from multiple levels, build a good social support network for the elderly, help the elderly improve themselves, and find positive emotional sustenance, so as to promote the development of mental health of the elderly.
