Rick (Christian Bale)\, a successful scr eenwriter in Los Angeles\, portrays a contemporary pilgrim\, struggling to find meaning in his life and a connection to the eternal and eternal wisd om. Jasmine (Cate Blanchett) is blue. Her psyche is black and blue from bu rning her wings in a spectacular way\, like Icarus. Her wings no longer ca rry her high up to the penthouse of her former hubristic life.\nDr. Hecker will discuss the movie The Grand Budapest Hotel\, not with a view to its artistic or esthetic merit\, but from a psychologist’s point of view\, i .e.\, with attention paid to the layers of its psychological functioning a nd its liminal effect. She will comment on archetypal patterns and process es that operate in conveying the story\, and how they can be useful in a c linical practice and in application to our personal lives and to an unders tanding of our culture.\nDr. Hecker will attempt to convey a sense of what it is like\, psychologically\, to sit in the audience and experience the unfolding of the tale. For this is a movie where the audience is moved\, w ithout quite knowing how. Her presentation will analyze\, psychologically\ , how this occurs. In the process\, Jungian ideas about tales\, fairy tale s and patterns of the soul will be described.\nThese films are available s treaming from Amazon or iTunes\, and from Netflix DVD.\nCourse objectives: \nExamine the use of archetypal and mythological patterns in the films and the role they play in conveying and illuminating contemporary stories.\nI dentify ways in which the films activate the religious function in viewers .\nDiscuss how understanding the psychological processes operating in film s can be useful in a clinical practice.\nArlene Diane Landau\, PhD\, holds a bachelor’s degree in fine art\, master’s degrees in psychology and mythological studies\, and a PhD in mythological studies.
