Francoise Dolto: Is it useful? Recommended reading, a Handbook for Children with Difficult Parents

Psychoanalysis and Paediatrics: Key Psychoanalytic Concepts with Sixteen Clinical Observations of Children -

Francoise Dolto, very interesting book.

This book is Françoise Dolto’s 1939 medical thesis and is dedicated to medical practitioners, paediatricians, and parents without prior knowledge of psychoanalysis. Françoise Dolto’s aim was to sensitize people to the unconscious dimensions of many problems in children. She demonstrates here, through sixteen case studies, how often children’s difficulties at school and at home – be they behavioral or due to impaired learning abilities – are the expression of psychological issues linked with their developing sexuality and castration anxiety, and result in physical symptoms such as enuresis and encopresis.

Dolto points out that the awareness of the self and self-responsibility often develops for young people in families in which the parents do not know how to listen or even more importantly cannot be listened to with trust. There is also a summary of Freud’s theories of the different stages of the evolution of the drives, as well as the central developmental role played by the castration complex, castration anxiety, and the Oedipus Complex.

Interstellar **half

dir. C.Nolan

 Many loop holes here that makes the movie not v moving at all.  Hero, saving humanity, with only 3 people?  The basis of the film is not well plotted.  And the super driver of a spaceship on a dusty farm, hmm, in any job today, if you are out of the office for 6 months, you cannot catch up - someone else is better or should be at least as gd as you would have taken your place immediately.

There are many problems w this film, some dramatic scenarios but these are insufficient to make up for the quality of the film.  

Near the end, the daughter has been brought back to life from cryanologic preservation - all her grand children are there - wouldnt they be very awed and express some emotion to see this v youthful grandfather, savior of humanity to be in the room w them?  One second sweep is all we get.

The movie is 3hrs long - and lots of pseudo space time talk that sounds even silly to me.  In all historical fact/fables, say, Noah's arc or Ming Dynasty sea adventurers to conquer the next inhabitable world, usually there are huge fleets of ships, water, people food, from all animals, male+female, to 2yrs worth of life sustaining supplies - here they are leaving for outer space, with only 2 poeple?  And these 2 are top tier scientists?  Doesnt make sense.  Mystical coding - "stay" - such strange coding.  Why not make it at least one sentence? 

Anyway,  its too long, too wordy, too illogical and too heroic on a superficial level to make this anything moving.

 

 

 

Jiang Wen :: 姜文新片《一步之遙》

姜文新片《一步之遙》倡民主 內地捱剪38刀 

姜文導演、由舒淇、葛優、周韻、文章等主演的新作《一步之遙》在內地已排檔下月18日上映，但該片最近在內地送審時，據聞電影局看片後，認為戲中問題不少，處處暗喻民主自由精神，電影總局高層經開會後，已指示影片若要取得准映證，必須作出38處修改。

一部影片要剪那麼多刀，當然讓導演有些心痛，聽說姜文亦有親自找局長們據理力爭，但經過上次《讓子彈飛》的經驗，相信內地電影總局很難會作出讓步。

現 時影片距離映期不到一個月，如果影片要盡快取得准映證作好宣傳準備，最終還是要聽從電影總局的修改要求。該片劇情是講述上世紀二十年代，一場花國大選滙集 了全球佳麗，但奢華夢幻的決選尚未結束，一場匪夷所思的謀殺案，讓所有人的命運都發生了翻天覆地的變化，追殺與逃亡、權謀與愛情，生死情仇都在一步之遙， 緊張懸疑的故事中，帶出人性最終所追求的理想主義，到底要甚麼呢？

姜文前作《讓子彈飛》叫好叫座，不少看過影片的觀眾都可以發現戲中處處都是隱喻，認為導演呼籲民眾覺醒，反抗中共暴政，實現真正共和的現實，外界這樣的解讀，當時令到批准該片上映的電影總局高層都受到中央宣傳部訓示，要求正副局長都要寫檢討書。

如 今姜文新作《一步之遙》又來了，電影總局對此片當然會特別謹慎審視，稍為敏感的地方就要建議作出修整。昨日記者向《一步之遙》投資公司英皇電影求證，宣傳 部杜小姐回應說：「冇聽過喎，內地已經鐵定12月18日上映，預售戲飛都賣緊，已經超過兩億人民幣，香港暫定喺1月底上映。」
