Analysis applying theory to 3 films
Freud, film and
the unconscious
“Freud believed that dreams are the royal road to the unconscious”
and that they contained important clues into the human psyche (weiter, 2004:
195) much of t initial research methods involved questioning his patients in
their dream experiences and using their descriptions as a means of uncovering
their true motivation and perceptions on the world.
Film operates on much the same principle… film speaks
directly to the unconscious, the language of the dreams is one that is not an abstract
from communication such as narrative, but id one that is filled with images
they carry hidden meanings on a latent level just so is the language of film organised
dot gat the inky a oaet of the film is communicated in a narrative form
sound an images make up the majority of the effect Kluge 1999
Therefor the nature that US FILM CAN BE TO A DEGREE,
DECONSTUCTED IN ORDER TO UNVEIL a universal understanding od our thoughts and behaver
that through identification contributes towards our enjoyment of the film as it
acts as a release mechanism of these is induces impulse
Conscious
unconscious/ preconscious
Upper ego
Ego
ID
The ID- (unconscious desire/ the repressed) set free without
conscience)
The ego- The conscious/ ikea lifestyle) comfortable
Superego- what controls it, will regulate “pleasure: it will
censor the ID, but will also licence it.
Frued explained his famous model for brain function in the
1927 publication, the ego and the ID. Since then, the theory has been explained
with reference to a horse and chariot.
ID most primitive, irrational and emotional, selfish, concerned
only with its own self-satisfaction. Pleasure and instant gratification. Key work:
want.
Ego reality, principle. The ego tries to meet the basic
needs of the ID but also takes into account the real world. Key work: balance
Super ego, based on moral principles Key words: morals,
compromise
