【Summary from The Art of Negative Thinking】
The Art of Negative Thinking is a burlesque drama about Geirr (33), who has become severely handicapped in a traffic accident. In an attempt to show everyone how terrible he feels, he has hit a dead end. Given his isolation, weapons fixation, self medication and limitless bitterness, his girlfriend Ingvild (30) doesn't know how to handle him any longer. She therefore invites a municipal positivity group to their home. Faced with the threat of a possible break-up with Ingvild, Geirr agrees to join the meeting.

Consequently, the stage is set for 24 intense hours at Geirr and Ingvild's place. Geirr is the only one who refuses to see anything in a positive light. Gradually, he is joined by all the positivity group members. Not only must the leader of the group be vanquished; everyone must also confront their own negative inferno. Geirr forces everyone through a tunnel of desperation, anguish and hopelessness, before the day dawns and they once again catch sight of light, if only as a faint glimpse of hope. At this point, even Geirr realizes the banal truth: One has to try to think positive, however lousy one feels.

【Reflection】
在心情困頓時看了這部電影，我想總結是句：置之死地而後生。
我可以理解Geirr在雙腿不良於行後的感受、對自己的嫌惡，
因此封閉自己，當別人對他好時，他只會覺得對方是以同情為出發點。
有人說要正面積極地看待人生，但那是在順遂時才有辦法永遠微笑。
若在悲傷難過時，連放聲大哭像屍體般癱軟在地的權利都沒有，如何能再從谷底爬起。
正面思考與負面思考，其實完全不是一體兩面的東西，
你要不在線的這一頭，要不就是在另一頭，there's no where in between。
要求他人正面思考的人，除非自己也曾經墮入情緒沒有出口的迴圈，
否則怎麼能夠想像黑暗的光景。
有人說如果連自殺都不怕，那世界上還有什麼值得恐懼？
錯，自殺只是種破斧沉丹的行為，不管是不是解脫、有沒有恐懼，
現在折磨你的痛苦、沉悶、不堪，至少在某種意義可以停止不再繼續。
這部電影看起來令人不習慣，它直指你最陰沉不敢面對的黑暗面，
你對Geirr的消極感到憤怒，卻又恐懼自己在面對相同情況時會過之而無不及；
但看完後，恐懼就像摔裂的陶瓷碗盆玻璃器皿，得到某種情緒上的宣洩。
死過一遍，才會知道黎明來時的那一口呼吸，is the blessing from God。
