Like many European multinational co-productions, the film tells the story of Freud and Jung’s process from meeting to helping each other to breaking up, as well as the unfaithful love between Jung and Sabina. The style is plain and follow the historical facts.
As a person with extremely limited knowledge of psychology, such a film is completely knowledge tuition, and it is a quick-action film about Freud's psychoanalysis and Jungian psychology. Judging from the situation described in the film, the basis for the two people to help each other in the early stage is the joint exploration of psychology in the spiritual field, and it is believed that the mentally disordered person is caused by certain scientific factors. The main difference between the two theoretical viewpoints in the later period is: Freud believed that people’s spiritual life is inevitably based on the development of sexual consciousness trajectory, and this sexual consciousness must be derived from the past life, especially the infants and young children. Sexual impulse is formed; Jung believes that a person’s mental state is comprehensively determined by a variety of factors. Sexual awareness is only the most important component, and many influencing factors are determined by current or future real life, namely: people The choice of mental state is extremely purposeful.
Another clue in the film is the love between Jung and his patient Sabina. Jung was originally the defender of monogamy. This relationship was not until 1974 in Barbara Hanna’s biographical memoir "Rong". "Ge's Life and Work" has not yet been disclosed. The most recent literary work that reveals this relationship is the documentary film "Famous Sabina" co-produced by Britain and Germany in 2002. It was 1904 when Jung took Sabina and became his own patient. Years, 98 years have passed. As a manic patient with masochistic addiction since childhood, Sabina gradually adapted to normal life in Jung's talk therapy, and showed her talent in psychoanalysis. Doctors and her patients gradually became jobs. Partners, verify academic theories and explore unknown areas together. Such a common life among intellectuals is more likely to produce feelings. The world is like this, and psychologists cannot suppress the desires of the id. I can only say that it is based on living together. The extramarital affair that arises is still better understood and recognized.
In fact, Sabina’s analytical theory of dreams is also significantly different from Jung’s, but the unusual past between the two people still supports their love and independence. In the early 20th century, they used quill pen and parchment to communicate. The elegant age.
The whole film is not entangled in the detailed description of certain life points of Professor Jung, and it shows the life of a psychology master at the stage of theory formation on average. It is comfortable and not obscure. Fassbender's performance didn't have a sense of jumping out, and it was just right and dull.
Sometimes you have to do something unforgivable just to be able to go on living.
Sometimes you have to do something that cannot be forgiven, just to survive.
