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

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
