A Dangerous Method

[Squeamous]

Did you enjoy Memento by any chance Mary?

[Squeamous]

I think you were probably focusing on the wrong thread in the story Mary. Were you mostly following the Jung/Freud relationship?

Does it have Anais Nin in it? If so, I'd be expecting a lot more than poncy areolae.

No, I was being a total pervert. Really actually, and in my quest I found the transitions abrupt, especially when I was skipping around. However, there are truly abrupt transitions even when I left the remote alone. That's all I'm saying. I saw potential for something deeper but found its pitfalls and became disheartened. Basically, just a weird boner movie for me. Including aformentioned Anais Nin references.

I have no idea what an Anais Nin is. Is it something to do with breasts?
I probably wasn't following the film with a critical enough eye. I didn't have any prior knowledge of the subject matter so it was all new and interesting to me. I was told by my fellow cinema goer that it was a fairly good depiction of Freud and Jung. He studied Psychology. He didn't think much of it either though.
I liked Freud's total self belief: "you must agree with me, and if you don't it's all the result of the pathology I'm talking about"
Genius!

Anais Nin was something of a disciple of Jung's and a damn fine writer in her own right. She had loads of sexual experimentation with Jung and wrote extensive diaries. She fucked Henry Miller, but then who hasn't.

Some feminist type I was going out with years ago gave me nine volumes of her journals, but I only got to about the second volume before I decided the girl needed elbowed (and psychotherapy). My girlfriend, not Anais Nin. Well, both, come to think of it.

Oh the film never mentioned her! Sounds interesting, she must have been quite a courageous woman when she wasn't being mental.

I think the film highlighted nicely that suppression of instinct causes psychological trauma. Freud was wrong to focus exclusively on sexual repression but at that time that was a massive facet of Victorian/Edwardian society, and he could only remark on what he saw I guess. Shame he lacked the vision/open mind to extrapolate and project from his evidence. Favourite line was Jung: "Have you considered monogamy?" Otto: "for a neurotic like me that would be far too stressful a concept"

Have you read much Henry Miller, Chavvy?

If I was a Mod I'd either move this thread to the Movie section or stop hassling people for posting on the wrong part of the board.
