к слову о мазохистах,
есть у меня на курсе предмет такой "Film Studies", на котором каждый вторник с утра пораньше мы смотрим фильмы,
а после этого каждый студент должен сделать презентацию по какому-то из них

так вот, на следующей неделе я делаю презентацию по фильму Пианистка
ну почему мне так "повезло"??? почему мне не достался Бойцовский Клуб или Молчание Ягнят???
эта несчастная Пианистка сводит меня с ума, я еще и по теории Фрейда должна проанализировать фильм.
советую посмотреть его тем, кто любит всякого рода извращения или про тяжелую женскую долю..
на самом деле, фильм не так уж и плох, даже отчасти интересен,
а для Фрейда там материала завались))

если вдруг кому-то интересно, черновик презентацииThe Piano Teacher beautifully portrays the disturbed narcisstic personality.
Erika shows amazing cruelty and sadomasochistic behaviour toward her students as the piano teacher and toward her annoying and controlling mother with whom she lives and shares a bedroom.
There is no one else around in her life that could intervene. Her father is absent and he dies in a mental hospital.
Erika’s mother scolds her when she arrives home one day to discover that her father has died.
This scene shows her mother’s complete dependence on Erika. While telling her that her father has died, mother slaps the daughter's face.
Erica has been forced to take her father’s place, literally sleeping in the bed with her mother and serving as the breadwinner for them.
Her inability to escape her mother’s control gives rise to many bizzare behaviors.
What and why she is doing is hard to be explained and the word "masochist" doesn't explain enough.
Erica is obsessed by her complexes and desires but still she is sane and deeply unhappy.
She is the victim and we see that she turns into perpetrator and becomes increasingly desperate.

According to Freud, this woman is likely to have such complex which is called distructive narcissism.
Some day or other, she would reach the peak of despair. The inner aggression which was inside her for years and sometimes spoiled the relation and reaction to other people was finally turned against the only person who she really loved and appreciated - against herself when she stabbed the knife in her chest.


Is that her mother who made this talented woman such a 'monster' or there is another more important factor?
Is it real that a person can go to work and seem ‘normal,’ yet have so many problems at home and emotionally or is that just a fantasy?
