A psychological delicacy ...

"A Dangerous Method" is the film in the original. You would have done in my opinion well to the title just literally translate. That would be the movie theme came much closer than "A Dangerous Method" - stupid translation. The ahead!

Of course, one or the other supposedly "dark", but in the end it's about finding one's own identity and to the recognition of the "dark side", who lives in a. And then, when they have been discovered and accepted, this raises the next question: Should / Can I "the dark" let out in me / I have to live or perhaps even to be healthy / Me? Or I put the "dark companion" just in a box that I can open occasionally, if I feel like it, but I closed otherwise halt and can only ever hear myself?

The film is likely to be especially for those enjoying a very special kind, which: have studied psychology or study, have psychological interest and understanding and a bit familiar with the figures or the interpersonal constellation of Jung and Freud. Since I belong to this group of people, the film for me was really a psychological treat!

And the film is really very psychologically and therefore - for me - so very beautiful, because he apparently also in large parts is indeed authentic. CG Jung I actually imagined almost like playing him the great Michael Fassbender! And I am glad that he has taken over this role. Jung, always thinking, always striving (for) for truth and insight and understanding, always looking for "the gist of the matter", according to the answers to the big questions of life. He was a visionary and psychological his theses to come in the film, too have their say! This eternal and rag doubt, this Think about what is now the way to go ... And at the end of the yielding ... The indulge and then again the question of whether you did everything right.

Freud and Jung have learned exactly as it is portrayed in the film, to know, but also drifted apart again. The Freudian theory was just in a very special way, for it was all mental disease suppression of sexual impulse! That could so never sign 100% Jung. Finally, the two had then also acknowledge that they psychologically ultimately not pull together. They could actually always liked to do. But it did not succeed. CG Jung involved mystical, the unconscious, the "world soul" and the fate of a with. Of Freud never wanted to know what. And finally - that comes in the film also to language and that was probably in reality theme - Freud was a Jew, a young "Aryan" ... and as said Freud to the beloved of Jung: "an Aryan you can not dare! ". Since then already showed the resentment and also the differences. Freud was never really religious, as he himself said, but just Jew ... "and it will always remain so", were his words.

Nevertheless, the two men were the ones who called the psycho-therapy to life. What would be the psychology today without them? And who a little familiar with the psychology that finds in the film incredibly many small psychological tidbits. So Freud and Jung called the Psycho-therapy at the beginning "speech-cure" and exactly this term also falls. Here you have well researched.

Very, very well ever played the role of Freud by Viggo Mortensen. I was really excited to see how it fills that role - of such a large and important man! And he is more than worthy of her! Sigmund Freud - as if he were still alive! Always smoking, which he then also became the calamity.

And very, very, very beautiful scenes in the Freudian apartment. This apartment was indeed practically the cradle of psychology. Clever people went there on and off. And very authentic, the scene at the dinner table. Because it is known that always happy and many guests were received in the Freudian apartment and were allowed to dine always together with the whole family. And was psychologizing and philosophizing! Gorgeous! And of course you could see even the well-known bed, healed on the Freud's first patients by the "speech-cure".

Well, the acting performance of Keira Knightley as "mentally disturbed" woman is, after all, not too bad. She plays "the madman" pretty good. And then here's a few trips in the area of ​​masochism after it finds that she feels humiliation by excitement. This area should then perhaps be less authentic, more "current", after this time, too Shades of Grey has done moderately a lot.

But is basically this thematic thread that the patient recognizes itself that it is masochistic and also why it is not so absorbed, as he would feel somehow uncomfortable (feeling for people who be affected by uncomfortably could;)). On The Contrary. Quasi a "case study" for the success of the "speech-cure" ...

Okay, now that was a paean for the film). But I did not know what to expect, I just psychology-versed and Fassbender fan). And for that matter, I came at my expense, and actually on a lot more. I found the movie so worthwhile and interesting and can recommend it especially to anyone who has psychological interest.
