摘 要

电影《爱尔兰人》是近年来反映西方黑帮文化的代表作。近年来，随着科学与社会文明的不断发展，无论东西方，“黑帮”，“暴力”不再是人们讳莫如深的话题，探讨黑帮文化，从不同角度剖析黑帮人物的心理，从而推动社会安定乃至人类文明发展有着重要影响。以往的研究表明，个人心理并非扁平化，探索人物性格积极与消极的两面性，有利于理解和研究黑帮文化。近年的研究多关注社会主流角度，而忽视了黑帮这一特殊阶层人物的心理两面性。本文通过对意大利黑帮暮年主人公形象的观念、关系和心理转变，对小说中的老年杀手形象所代表的西方黑手党在特定历史经济文化背景下的心理变化和自我认知的过程进行调查研究，并探讨其中所反映出的文化启示。研究结果表明，在黑帮的结构原理和运作方式中，黑帮内部个体有着巨大的两面性和矛盾性。电影中老年黑手党角色的个人经历已升华为近代黑帮发展的史诗。同时也传达出辩证看待黑帮人物的必要性。研究结果强调了从心理学和历史政治以及经济这三个角度探讨人物性格两面性的必要性，以及其展现出来的现实意义和文化启示。

Abstract

The Irish Man is a masterpiece of western gangster culture in recent years. In recent years, with the continuous development of science and social civilization, whether East or West ," gangsters "," violence "is no longer a taboo topic, discuss the culture of gangsters, analyze the psychology of gangsters from different angles, so as to promote social stability and even the development of human civilization has an important impact. Previous studies have shown that personal psychology is not flat, and exploring the two sides of positive and negative character is conducive to understanding and studying gang culture. The research in recent years pays more attention to the social mainstream angle, but neglects the psychological dual character of the special class figure of the gang. Through the concept, relationship and psychological transformation of the image of the late hero of the Italian gangster, this paper investigates and studies the psychological change and self-cognition process of the western mafia represented by the image of the old killer in the novel under the specific historical, economic and cultural background, and discusses the cultural enlightenment reflected therein. The research results show that in the structure principle and operation mode of the gang, the individual inside the gang has a huge two-sidedness and contradiction. His personal experience of the Mafia characters in the film has been promoted Huawei the epic of the development of the modern Mafia. but also conveys the necessity of dialectically looking at gangster characters. The research results emphasize the necessity of exploring the character's dual character from three angles: psychology, history, politics and economy, as well as its practical significance and cultural enlightenment.

Analysis of the dual characters in the movie The Irish Man

1 Introduction

Brief introduction of the The Irish Man

The Irish Man is the famous gangster movies made by the famous italian director, Martin Scorse. This is also his latest work. Adapted from the documentary literature Charles brand wrote in 2004," I heard I brushed Ir house ", the film tells the story of the underworld killer "lrishman" Frank Sheeran, the title of the book is "slang ", which implies that professional killers perform tasks when blood splattered on the wall and on the floor.The film takes the leading character Frank Sheeran's growing history as a clue, showing his step by step from an ordinary worker to become the top killer of the Mafia, but also reflects the tortuous inner development process of the little man under the specific historical background. Frank Sheeran was born in Italy. He's the bottom of society.At first he was a trucker carrying steaks, and one day his truck broke down on the way, and frank and gang boss Russell accidentally met at a gas station, and Russell helped fix the broken-down truck.Interestingly, frank himself had the dark side of his character, and he used his innate advantage of transporting steak to secretly sell some steak to the bar owner, and then his desire grew, and after he had emptied a whole car of steak, frank was prosecuted.During the trial, Frank and Russell met again, this encounter completely changed the rest of Frank's life.Since then, he has changed from an ordinary underclass worker to a gangster killer.It is not difficult to see from Frank's experience that his character has changed after going through judicial proceedings, which is caused by both internal and external reasons. It is not difficult to see from Frank's experience that his character has changed after going through judicial proceedings, which is caused by both internal and external reasons.

The film describes how small people in the middle of the 20th century went on the road of gang crime, and shows the two sides of the character of the protagonist from many angles. The Mafia is a secret social organization originating in Italy, based in Sicily. In the 18th century, the Mafia set off a wave of immigrants from Italy to the Americas, and the development of the organization reached a peak.
The film describes how small people in the middle of the 20th century went on the road of gang crime, and shows the two sides of the character of the protagonist from many angles. The Mafia is a secret social organization originating in Italy, based in Sicily. In the 18th century, the Mafia set off a wave of immigrants from Italy to the Americas, and the development of the organization reached a peak.Today's mafia is thought to be synonymous with violence and crime, but it was originally a secret gang organized by poor peasants for survival. We can connect it with Chinese green forest heroes, and there are similarities between the two. In the 19th century west, the poor under capitalist rule lived in great hardship.In the background of political darkness and economic depression, the poor, after suffering from such a social system, chose to deviate from social management, and joining the Mafia became an understandable fact. It can be imagined that in those days, the life of the people at the bottom of the West is very difficult.As the representative character of the bottom character of the society at that time, the protagonist in the film not only faces the entanglement of inner morality and interests, but also faces the heavy pressure of the external environment, and the judicial case is only a fuse. In the movie, we can see the cruel side of Frank Sheran after becoming a gangster killer, as well as his kind side. In his relationship with his daughter, he subconsciously instilled positive values in her.To her daughter, the brutal killer is also a tender father. That's why Frank's daughter later alienated his gang-ridden father and chose to go straight. With his fellow jimmy, frank again shows the positive side of human nature, especially at the end of the film, he missed jimmy's expression of sadness and confusion tearfully.
The protagonist shows two distinct personalities. We are used to one-sided conclusions about a person - good or bad.But Frank's character reveals that we need to look at human nature dialectically. Frank shows two sides, this article is from three angles to analyze Frank's two sides and contradictions. These three angles can be divided into two aspects - internal and external. internally, we can explore from a psychological perspective. Frank lived at the bottom of society at first, working hard and loving life, but at the same time being driven by desire to choose to do illegal theft. From a psychological point of view, we can see his contradiction.From the outside, we can discuss from the political and economic background of the time. In the mid-19th century, western capitalism prevailed, and frank, who had no social status or resources, faced with unfair judicial decisions, could only go to the edge of the sword and choose to accept the help of the mafia to ask for unfair treatment. The unfair social and economic system, so that normal work can not guarantee the normal standard of living of the people, in the gang's huge interest temptation, and the reality of cruel economic pressure, Frank chose to go on the road to crime can also find the reason.

1.2 Literature Review

The Scholars all over the world have made a multi-angle study of the immigrant movie The Irish Man. In recent years, the number of foreign studies on The Irish Man is less than domestic studies but there are still many meaningful ideas in their studies. The film director is also "the past of the United States" and other excellent multi-step gangster theme film director.Therefore, the study of this film is conducive to our understanding of the study of the entire Western gangster culture during this period. The western gangster films of this era are almost all with the blueprint of the Italian mafia, so the American gangster culture of this era is characterized by the Italian culture. The gangs of this era are mostly organized crime culture. Many well-known classic gangster films are basically the prototype of the Italian mafia, such as "Little Caesar "," Scarface Thief" and so on.The Mafia originated from "Mafia", from" Cosa Mafia" meaning "our cause ", and the Italian Mafia originated from a secret association of criminal organizations. In the early days of the formation of American gangs, many of them came from Italian gangs, and their organized crime culture directly affected the later American gang culture. Some Italian directors later inherited only their native culture and were involved in political and economic activities in the United States.Cultural identity is the root of the cohesion of criminal organizations, especially the identity consciousness of the Traveller elite, and the normative role of reference groups in behavior. American gangs are largely ethnic-centric, and between the 1920s and 1970s almost all of them were racial. Noodles, for example, in "the past of the united states ", whose brothers are also jews living in the united states, live in impoverished ghetto areas, unlike Italian family-style gang associations, but all are of the same nature. Therefore, in the American gangster culture, its Italian character is also very obvious. Through some classic American gangster films, we saw the American gangster culture at that time, which also helped us to have a deeper understanding and understanding of the colorful culture of the United States at that time.As far as this paper is concerned, the two sides of character will be explored through the process of the protagonist's role growth in the film, and the profound influence of internal and external factors on personal growth will be explored in the process. The purpose of this paper is to emphasize the difficult process of small people seeking to survive under certain historical conditions, and to present the protagonist's personality growth and cultural identity from psychology, family relations, relationship between people, time factors, economic and political factors. The innovation of this paper lies in the negation of the traditional method of one-sided judgment of character, the process of human growth is dynamic, and the character of human is three-dimensional, emphasizing the development and twists and turns of these two processes. At the same time, this paper also emphasizes the common analysis of the reasons from the internal and external, rather than just focusing on the internal or external. At the same time, the cultural dilemma, the crisis of cultural identity and the reconstruction process in the context of multiculturalism are also important parts of the thesis.

2 Research methods

2.1 Text comparative analysis

In academics, is mandatory especially at higher education level. In comparative

analysis technique, I am asked to compare and contrast two different theories, two school of thoughts, two scientific techniques or any two historical personalities.

For example.from ninth essay in my reference，I could know that in short, in the form of a society in which the power of the ruling class of small government is scattered in the United Kingdom and the United States, the underworld organizations themselves are part and indispensable part of the ruling machine .It has two main functions.First of all , reduce the cost of domination. The underworld has strong self-organization characteristics, compared with the top-down centralized system, such tentacles are very efficient, compared with the centralized system under the characteristics of responsibility for the top, the underworld often and the civilian class have hidden contractual relations, but can reduce the cost of management; Second, be good at acting as the helper of the government to rule the country. In the case of different classes opposed to government rule, because the underworld is very mysterious, it is often more conducive to its direct attack on opponents, help the government to buy and collect information, such as buying guild intelligence. The underworld can also help the government directly attack the leadership of the opposition forces.

With the help of a comparative analysis, I may find some amazing commonalities beside contrasts or differences. For example Barack Obama and John Mccain have serious differences as far as political views are concerned but they may have similarities in views to bring social reforms and for the betterment of common people.
Before going through in detail study of comparative analysis technique, here is an important thing to discuss. Let’s take an example. I am writing a comparative analysis on autocratic rule vs. democratic rule. The first thing I have to be clear about is the rationale behind this choice. Try to convince the readers that the choice I have made is meaningful and productive.Keeping in mind the above mentioned example, here is a brief guideline on how I can better develop a comparative analysis.
First of all, the comparative analysis process is bit tricky that requires careful handling as I need to sort out the commonalities from the text. For example if I are talking about autocratic and democratic rule, as already mentioned, then I have a thorough study and absolute understanding about the two.
Later on, with the help of I research I might be able to restructure the commonalities and then I will be able to write a comparative analysis.
I comparative analysis essay always starts with an . My introduction sets up the foundation of those arguments that are considered common in both approaches.
Always get a start with a general idea and then move towards more specific ideas.
In the end, organize Ir paper in proper paragraphs. A good comparative analysis is always structured in proper paragraphs. Here is a brief account on how I can write a sample comparative analysis.
Begin my comparative analysis with an opening paragraph having a comparison between the two situations. The best way is that I go with the description of the various points in separate paragraphs. Do not intermingle various aspects but try to describe each in a separate section. This will help I in paying equal attention to each and every argument present in the text.
For example I are writing an analysis about Autocratic VS democratic Rule. In the first paragraph I can compare definitions of the two approaches. In the second paragraph I can compare the structure of the two systems of rule. Later on, in next paragraphs I can discuss the functions of the two along with power distributions in each system. So, in this way I can easily structure the comparative analysis essay.

In summary,with the help of text comparative analysis,I can more in-depth collection and understanding of different scholars on the topic of analysis and inquiry.

2.2 Establishing model character analysis method

The practical significance of establishing mathematical model
1.Establishing mathematical model is an effective form of solving mathematical problems.
(l) modern mathematical theory holds that mathematics has the attribute of scientific methodology, and the mathematical thinking method is an important strategy for people to study mathematics, apply mathematics and solve problems. And the mathematical model is established, and the mathematical model is the central part of the problem solving process, which is the key to determine the degree of problem solving. That year, the big Swiss mathematician euler face costa fort, "seven bridge problem", ably to land as a point, the bridge as a line, the practical problems into mathematics point line is connected to a stroke problem, based on the research of the constructed model, to finally solve the problem, it is a good example of this process.
Obviously, in the process of solving this problem,
Mathematicians construct a stroke model is the key, reflects the role in the process of mathematical model in practical problem solving, which to a large extent determines the problem can be finally solved thoroughly.
2.Establishing mathematical model is an important task in mathematics learning and curriculum reform.
(1) the most important part of the mathematical learning content is the mathematical model. In elementary school, mathematical models are presented in a series of conceptual systems, algorithmic systems, relationships, laws, axioms, etc., which are important content of students' learning. It can be said that the process of learning mathematics knowledge is actually a process of understanding and grasping a series of mathematical models. In the elementary school mathematics is very important, for example, a piece of content is a geometric preliminary knowledge, as a mathematics is one of the essential characteristics of effective carrier of axiomatic thought, as a kind of intuitive, the mathematical model of visualization, geometry has an irreplaceable role. In the same way, the conceptual system and the algorithm system itself are important mathematical models, and it is the basis for constructing other mathematical models. The students' grasp of these knowledge is crucial. Therefore, to establish and master the above models is to grasp the fundamental of mathematics learning.
(2) the students in the process of exploration, get mathematical model, the obtained mathematical model of the building, at the same time also thought, procedure and method of solving practical problems, and that for the development of the students, its significance is greater than just get some mathematical knowledge. In fact, the aforementioned "rediscovery" process itself embodies a basic pattern, namely, the study of mathematical problems, which can be characterized as abstract, symbolic and applied. Dutch mathematician fredenthal called the process "mathematical." The process of mathematization is the process of students learning to learn, and also the process of students acquiring developmental learning.
(3) mathematics should not be equated with the simple convergence of mathematical conclusions, but should be regarded as a complex consisting of a variety of components including "problem", "method" and "language". The process of learning mathematics should be more about the practice, exploration and experience of mathematics than the process of obtaining mathematical conclusions. Therefore, it is the tendency and demand of this kind of reform to attach importance to the idea of osmotic modeling in elementary school mathematics teaching.Theoretical basis for establishing mathematical model (abbreviated)
3.Establish the thinking method of mathematical model
The essence of mathematical model construction is the activity of mathematical thinking. Therefore, the method of establishing mathematical model cannot be discussed without the method of thinking. We believe that analysis and synthesis, comparison and classification, abstraction and generalization, conjecture and verification are both important ways of thinking, as well as an important way to construct mathematical models.
(1). Analysis and synthesis.
Analysis and synthesis are important ways of thinking, as well as important mathematical methods, which are one of the important ways of establishing mathematical models in mathematics. Among teaching in "analysis" and "synthetic method" to analyze the quantitative relation, the process of seeking solution methods, this way of thinking is used to establish the mathematical model of a typical process. The analysis is to study the constituent elements of the obtained mathematical materials or mathematical problems, and grasp the role of each factor in the whole.
Find out its internal relation and law, and then get the general conclusion about the factors. In fact, quite a few students in the master certain mathematical knowledge or methods, is often seen as a dot, isolated memory, or only of shallow relationship between the perception of certain knowledge, and the lack of mastery of the intrinsic nature of the relationship between them, namely the lack of a sense of establishing a chain structure, thus, its brain cognitive structure is not reasonable, is not very perfect, such cognitive structure does not have the value of the model, which cannot be effectively contribute to some more complex problem solving. If you use analytic depth study, the above cognitive structure can be truly established as a valuable model. For example, students will judge "who can be divisible by whom", "whether two Numbers are prime", and then judge whether "a certain fraction is the most simple score", "to get a better than the least integer ratio"... But students may not really understand the "why the two Numbers is relatively prime Numbers and the other two are not relatively prime Numbers", or will only stay of their relations on a "few" and "common divisor". There is no doubt that this is the link between them, but not the most essential link, in fact, "whether two natural Numbers have the same prime factor" is the fundamental point of connection. The analysis is as follows:
In this way, we construct a reasonable cognitive structure that relates to the above concepts, which is to construct a mathematical model characterized by "qualitative factor analysis".
Synthesis will integrate the analysis results of mathematical materials, mathematical problems and attributes of each factor. In order to form a general understanding of the nature of the object. Therefore, the combination of analysis and synthesis is of great significance in establishing mathematical models with essential characteristics and methodological significance. For example, will be in all aspects of the student to the straight cylinder found after analysis and study of all kinds of results are integrated, can get the whole understanding of straight cylindrical conclusive description, the underside is two equal circle, side can expand rectangularity of three-dimensional graphics. Therefore, the mathematical model of the cylinder is clearly established, which is the key to solve the problem of cylindrical real problems.
(2) . Comparison and classification.
The comparison is about mathematical knowledge or mathematical materials to identify their similarities and differences. The comparison of mathematics is multifaceted, including the comparison of how much and size, the comparison between the same and different, the comparison between structure and relation, the comparison of law and nature. The purpose of comparison is to understand the relation and difference of things, and to define the identity and similarity between each other so as to reveal the common model behind it. The classification is on the basis of comparison, according to the similarities and differences of the nature of things, objects of the same nature will be classified into one category; Objects of different properties fall into the other category of thinking. Comparison and classification, therefore, are often linked together, and in a lot of thinking method, the mathematical model is established to compare and classification has an important role, it is often abstract the premise of summarizing, reasoning, and correctly comparison and classification is the basis of in-depth and careful observation. For example, teaching "elementary knowledge of multiplication"
