'Dangerous Method' ....Film Cleverness!

I SAW A VERY ENGAGING FILM  recently.  It was 'A Dangerous Method' and it brings in famed historic people like the remarkable guys Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud.  This gem of a film has fine performances by Keira Kinghtley (the patient), Viggo Mortensen (as Sigmund Freud) and Michael Fassbender (Carl Jung). I enjoyed the depiction of the provocative times when Freud's breakthrough ideas were really popping. Also the sleek grand thinker Jung was doing sophisticated work innovating psychotherapy also. In my opinion the acting work of Keira Knightley and Michael Fassbender is vigorous and truly compelling. The windows of the mind and the intricate mechanisms of contemporary psychology have always been clever and fascinating to me.

THE FRESHNESS  of the film 'A Dangerous Method' is especially unique. I believe modern films need to convey more of a vigorous interpretation into the inner souls of humans. There is a huge need in this country to have all kinds of more focused artistic and creative experiences and it is a grand essence that happens when we have a sleek conundrum of cinematic directing like what Mr. David Cronenberg dis with fashioning this artful film. The man possesses a terrific amount of style and it pleases me that a tremendous number of thinking, and a bit enigmatic but thinking souls have latched on to this new movie as fine art and something fun to watch from both an emotional as well as an intellectal standpoint.

Nice Writing

THE GOOD terse writing of Ernest Hemingway is a real joy.  He does not use too many adjectives.  His 'Torrents' is a fine tome.
