Psychoanalytic theories-Theories

Philosophers:
Sigmond Freud: 
Founding father of Phychoanalysis (1856-1939) 
He argued that the human mind (both conscious and un conscious) is made up of three parts.

These parts where called THE EGO, THE SUPER EGO AND THE ID

The EGO
This is the organised and realistic part of the brain this takes the command from the other two parts of the brain and deals with it all. This is the sensible part of the brain

THE SUPER EGO
This is the controlling part of the brain the part that tries to set limits as to what the ego can and cannot do (Like your parents)

THE ID
This is the subconscious a mass of our desires and need that the EGO has to moderate (aka the kid that needs controlling) 

The trap door: 
 This is the ego, He is given commands from the voice upstairs and the tap door is the ID sometimes throwing out helpful things and bad things at the same time. 
The ID (The trap door) 
The Uncanny (1919)
“that which reminds us of something from our childhood, long repressed, which now returns in an unfamiliar form”

“something can be familiar, yet foreign at the same time, resulting in a feeling of it being uncomfortably strange or uncomfortably strange or uncomfortably familiar"

For this we thought of ideas we came up with ideas such as chuck i child hood doll who is also a killer, The shinning with the two young girls who where victims of death. The woman in black has a room with children's stuff which is usually associated with life an happiness but is now associated with death. 

Jacques Lacan 
(1901-1981)
 "Mirror Phase" where children realise they are not one with the mother, hence we go through life trying to reconnect with the ‘real’ self and sense of wholeness that we experienced as children. Thus we seek the ‘objet petit a’ (the person or thing that will complete us) although it doesn’t actually exist.

Films that relate to this are such as "harry potter" where he is trying to find his parents and complete him self and and he has a duplication of himself inside Voldemort  The other idea for this is "mirror mirror" where the duplicate of the evil queen she is searching for more power and money and to stay the fairest in the land. 

More theories by Lacan:

The Imaginary Realm (which is how we identify with things pre-language)
The Symbolic Realm (which draws upon ideas of signifier and signified)
The Real  (which we cannot reach but strive for regardless)
‘Jouissance’ means intense pleasure and intense pain; it’s what we feel as we approach ‘The Real’

Final point

If psychoanalytic film theory deals largely with the unconscious, and the reasons the mind acts the way it does…

Whose unconscious are we talking about here?

1.The unconscious of cinematic language.

2.The unconscious of the audience

3.The unconscious of the filmmaker

4.The unconscious of the character
