Cronenberg's A Dangerous Method
Seems about right for ol’ Otto, Odi. Interesting that the big historical “names” in this film, Freud and Jung, are maybe only the third and fourth most interesting characters in the story.
And all you who are bashing Ms. Knightley’s acting ability, she’s a recovering child actor who’s only 26, works a ton, and has, I think, at least a handful of pretty interesting performances. It’ll be interesting to see what she does with a more different sort of role such as this and working with DC, who isn’t much like the directors she’s worked with up to this point.
She still needs to eat more, Matt.
Could be interesting. But I think it might favor the male characters’ rivalry and be less about Sabina Spielrein. It just seems like a ‘ooo dat gurl is crazy’ movie. lol.
You can’t get too deeply into the real ideas in a film in a trailer, of course, and I’m not sure how deeply the film goes into the particulars of “crazy”, but the play it’s based on uses as its central theme something that’s straight out of Spielrein’s thinking—“only the clash of destructive forces can create something new”. It’s Spielrein, first as a patient and later as a theorists, that causes a rift between Freud and Jung, both personally and in terms of divergence in theoretical orientation (he Ph.D. thesis, published in 1912, clearly influenced Freud’s thinking in his later works).
“She still needs to eat more, Matt.”
As a guy, I try not to get too proscriptive as far as “should look” with women. Personally, I think she looks great with a little bit of muscle on her frame as she had in Domino:
rather than the extreme willowy thing that seems to be fashionable.
I don’t like the extreme willowy thing, only because I know most women after puberty just don’t look like that without a lot of deprivation and self-punishment.
Some women are that way naturally, but not the majority.
It just looks unhealthy. Heroin-chic apparently is still in…
Which reminds me of a joke: What are the three main food groups for supermodels?
A: Tic-tacs, Diet Coke, and heroin.
This is my idea of willowy without the extreme thing. The delovely January Jones.
Well at least she has an ass.
Does she ever…
Ha ha ha! Men are so easy to please. ;)
Are we ever.
Though this is more my cup of tea (blondes…meh):
Just sayin’.
Hmmmm….
Um, Deck, you are stuck in the ‘70s, and that lady is going to beat your white ass till you cry uncle. And then she’ll kick you to the curb. LOL
Ha.
^ ^ If only I were so lucky..
Maybe one day….one day. lol.
(God I’m bored…)
@Deck — sigh… a glutton for punishment…
someone should really make a case study of it
I think it has something to do with my death drive, heh. At least we’re keeping the thread relevant to the subject matter.
It must be the topic du jour — it’s happening with my FB friends too — death, sex, transformation.
Um – I mean the discussion. I have no idea about the latter two, and I certainly do NOT hope that the first is happening, at least in any physical sense, and if not in the physical sense, that it leads to the positive latter two.
Latter, former, positive, ass. Whatever. My brain is rapidly becoming mush.

@Matt — He’s doing a better job at looking excited than she is. lol
(wake me up when it’s over, and try not to drool on my starched collar, will ya?)
