I saw the name go by. Do you know if it was a book first? I usually like the books better if the movies is based on one. There are so many books about Freud - the Netflix can be mysterious and muddled. But I enjoyed conversation - Freud & CS Lewis - I want more discussions A good book - "Through Clouds of Smoke" by Suzanne Leclair

a collaboration -a review
This Netflix original surprisingly came to my attention. It was only very recent was I aware of this film’s existence or such a high caliber actor, like Anthony Hopkins, was in the leading role. Freud’s Last Session centers on a discussion/argument between two notable figures in history. Sigmund Freud (played by Hopkins) and CS Lewis (played by actor Matthew Goode, notable roles such as The Crown and Watchmen). The topic of this creative discussion is whether or not God exists. Interesting concept no doubt, between the description and trailer I was intrigued to give this film a day.
It can be difficult at times to separate between expectations from one trailer to what is presented. I envisioned two strong actors going head-to-head for two hours arguing the existence of God. While a bottle movie may not interest every audience member; however, if done correctly, it could work depending on the subject matter. Make no mistake, the debate takes place in this film and the performances from each actor was well done. The set design was also well done, or at least convincing, considering the debate takes place in Freud’s office. I would’ve liked to have seen more of the debate between both characters with valid arguments on each side.
It can be distracting when the conversation gets interrupted with repeated flashbacks or putting additional focus on side characters. While the flashbacks attempt to build the backstory between each man, it takes away the flow of the conversation. Other events that happen in this film, such as the bombing of London, affect the characters in the story and add to the conversation. I appreciated this aspect in the film, and I would consider it appropriate. The The focus on the main side character, Freud’s daughter Anna, takes the viewer away from the debate. She is also seen in flashback scenes with Freud, which add to Freuds character; however, I wonder if it would be beneficial if Anna Freud had her own movie centered on her achievements. Nevertheless, this film presented too many flashbacks and cut-aways to side characters which made this film feel disorganized.
Overall, I like the premise of this film, and the overall look of the film sets you in the late 1930s. However, the consistent flashbacks, and shifting focus to side characters, interrupts the flow of the movie too much to ignore.
I enjoyed - the 4 0f 5 - 4 stars

Flake's today thread
"I realized that love's not EASIER than a code of ethics. It is immeasurably HARDER than a code of ethics. It is the code of ethics AND. Not the code of ethics OR. It says that I am supposed to do -- and eventually mean it. That sucks."
Oh, I don't know.
C. S. Lewis had a good answer to those who ask how they're supposed to love their neighbor when they don't even like him. It's been years so I can only paraphrase: act as if you love your neighbor and eventually you'll find that you actually do.
Praxis."
Praxis - practice, as distinguished from theory (I loved a few neighbors). Most of my neighbors, I didn't care for the almost too much neighbors - I just wave.
and
Apraxia - inability to perform particular purposive actions

Whether or not you are a country music fan, these are truly the words of a deep thinker, and a highly intelligent person. So simple, yet so profound!
The Penis Poem by Willie Nelson
My nookie days are over, My pilot light is out. What used to be my sex appeal, Is now my water spout. Time was when, on its own accord, From my trousers it would spring. But now I’ve got a full time job, To find the gosh darn thing. It used to be embarrassing, The way it would behave. For every single morning, It would stand and watch me shave. Now as old age approaches, It sure gives me the blues. To see it hang its little head, And watch me tie my shoes!!

Social media has not only influenced the way we write and express ourselves but has also impacted our communication styles. The immediacy and accessibility of online platforms have led to a shift towards more informal and casual communication. People feel more comfortable sharing personal experiences, opinions, and emotions online, often without the same filters they would employ in face-to-face conversations. This informality has its advantages, fostering a sense of authenticity and connection among users. However, it can also lead to misunderstandings, as the absence of non-verbal cues makes it challenging to interpret the intended tone or meaning behind a message.
Social media has undoubtedly had an impact on spelling and grammar, with some arguing that it has led to a decline in language standards. The fast-paced nature of online communication often leads to the omission of vowels or the use of shorthand spellings. For example, "u" instead of "you" or "2" instead of "to." While this brevity may be acceptable in informal conversations on social media, it can have a negative impact on writing skills and language proficiency if carried over into other contexts. On the other hand, social media has also given rise to a new form of language creativity. Users often play with words, inventing new slang, and creating memes that become viral sensations. This linguistic innovation is a testament to the adaptability and dynamism of language, constantly evolving to meet the needs and preferences of its users.
Social media has undeniably transformed the way we communicate and has had a profound influence on language. From the rise of abbreviations and acronyms to the emergence of emoticons and emojis, social media has shaped our communication patterns in unprecedented ways. Hashtags have become part of our everyday vocabulary, blurring the lines between online and offline communication. While social media has impacted spelling and grammar, it has also sparked language creativity and innovation. However, it is crucial to navigate the informal nature of online communication with caution, as it can lead to misunderstandings and misinterpretations. Ultimately, as language continues to evolve, we must strike a balance between embracing the benefits of social media while preserving linguistic diversity and richness.

Excerpt by Ten Percent Happier
Burnout is also a spectrum, not a binary. At the early stages, it might just show up as having an excessive drive and pushing yourself to work harder and harder until you start neglecting personal care and needs. We might depersonalize others, seeing work colleagues purely in terms of their roles, for example, or we might depersonalize ourselves, seeing ourselves as to-do list ninjas rather than human beings. At later phases, many people experience inner emptiness, depression or collapse. It can look like intensive depression or like anxiety, depending on the person. Burnout can contribute to substance abuse and even, in extreme cases, to suicidal ideation. As anyone who has experienced it knows, severe burnout is also a full-body experience. Recent research on burnout has focused on how burnout impacts our bodies, from enlarged amygdalas to changes in hormones and gastrointestinal problems. Other physical symptoms include hair loss, hormonal changes, even changes in one's speaking voice. Lastly, as we emerge from the pandemic, it's also worth emphasizing that burnout takes a long time to recover from, like trauma. Burnout has a real impact on our self-worth and our ability to function even at basic levels.

Good morning I found it on Marginalian........
DH Lawrence' creed
"That I am I." “That my soul is a dark forest.” “That my known self will never be more than a little clearing in the forest.” “That gods, strange gods, come forth from the forest into the clearing of my known self, and then go back.” “That I must have the courage to let them come and go.” “That I will never let mankind put anything over me, but that I will try always to recognize and submit to the gods in me and the gods in other men and women.”
