What a great movie ...


OK, it is almost cartoonish when you look at the depths
is attempts to display so quickly, but it covers
relationships and philosophical ideas that I have never
seen other movies even get close to.

I agree with many on here -- it was fairly well done.

But no one has commented on the idea that Freud did not invent the talking cure, the unconscious, etc, nor did Breuer.

It was Nietzsche, who passed it on to B & then B to F.

This is never mentioned in psychohistory, as far as I know.

Perhaps, but I am sure all people have experience first
hand the theraputic effect of talking about one's
problems and the help that is in understanding or
at least reducing anxiety. It does not have to be
called psychotherapy.

True, it was a great little film.
I was surprised in a positive way. I did not know what to expect of it.
The film gave a view into thoughts that are normally not portrayed in films.

I have read parts of Freud's and Nietzsche's works and I enjoyed
watching the fiction of what would have happen if these two great men,
who with their brilliant minds shaped parts of the 20th century, had ever met.
To my knowledge they never did meet - and that's the only made up fact of the movie.

All in all, it was a worthwhile experience but this film is not for everyone.
I think you need to be >30 years of age to have a clue of what this is about.
And to have an interest in philosophical matters.
