Thank you so much! Given how (over)analyzed the lore and the events of Bloodborne are, there is not too much room to discover new stuff so I tried to do something different, hopefully I pulled it off. Thank you so much for watching. I appreciate you.

Thanks!

Of course, the one with... a very intriguing name.

ah yes, a fan of the uncensored version are we?

Thank you very much!

Honestly, I had the same reaction when I first saw them. But I gave them a few more tries !

Did you really get it? Mulholland dive is a masturbation fantasy, that's why the character changed after she climaxed, because the fantasy was over. Lost Highway is about Lacan's object of desire, that's why his fantasy world crumbles in the headlights when he gets what he wishes for.

I focused on one specific interpretation of these films, while you are focusing on another one (i.e., focusing on the sexual aspects of fantasy fulfillment, identity shifts which are indeed present). However, my interpretation pretty much focused on Los Angeles and how Lynch's exploration of identity, disillusionment, and the haunting mirroring of the city. I should have talked about Inland Empire as well, who knows, maybe I will in the future. I do agree that Lacan's objet petit a emerges through Fred's creation of an idealized, escapist version of his life, which inevitably crumbles when he faces the truth but the idea of truly "getting" films like these in some singular, definitive way is a bit of a trap, don't you think? Lynch's films are multilayered, and one interpretation doesn't invalidate another; rather, it adds dimension.

@IronShakespeare I studied film in university as my minor, I picked up cinema and fantasy. I had to to my major essay on David Lynch's Lost Highway and Lacan's object of desire was used to read the whole film from start to finish. And I got a high distinction. All of these other connections, like the forced association with the Hollywood sign to make it look like he was opposed to the city, I mean its there, but that isn't the most important take away from the movie. Understanding Lacan and the object of desire is the most important factor in understanding Lynch and Lost Highway.

@@davidagiel8130 Lacan's theory wasn't the purpose of this video. I repeat: a video. That's slightly different from academic articles and other papers. If I wanted to talk about Lacan believe me, I could. And I already have in other videos of mine. Saying that one aspect is more important than the other is a bit confusing to me. Are all the articles written on Lynch just about psychoanalysis then?

I'm from Romania!

Yeah! its poison tree by grouper:D

@ yes thats the one, great song

People of culture in this comment section, came to salute

Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you! Will do!

Yeah, Silent Hill has an amazing soundtrack

Thank you, it means a lot.

I think that is a pretty liberating mindset

I am glad it helped, truly. It helped me for sure, helping others means so much more.

Thanks!

You're welcome! Thanks for watching.

Thank you! You have amazing videos!!!!

@@IronShakespeare thanks it is very kind you!

Thank you for watching, I'm really glad you enjoyed it and found it to be helpful!

I hope so

mostly OST from Fear and Hunger , the intro from King's Field IV and if I remember correctly Dark Souls 1 OST as well.

That is indeed weird. But I can assure you that I am not Frapallo, I'm just me :)

Thank you!

I don't remember what I said specifically, what are you referring to?

Thank you!

Many people will suggest that his idea, which he presented as factual, came from his very complex relationship with Judaism.(complex might be a too vague word here, in fact he hated Judaism). What he is doing when asserting that Moses was in fact a priest of Akhenaten and the the Jews rebelled against him and eventually murdered him is, in my opinion, what he wished to happen. I've found texts which assert that Freud admits to have picked up this idea from a 1922 text by German theologists Ernst Sellin. Like many others before him, through his dislike of religion and direct opposition of it, what Freud did was to reduce human behavior to biological urges and then, later in life and career dabble in spirituality for some reason. I am not necessarily a scholar or a follower of Freud, I believe that being a "fan" of any of these guys could prove to be quite problematic since all that we are doing here is research and presenting stuff to be factual truths, especially when we are talking about human psyche, psychoanalysis etc could be problematic in my opinion. However, in order to pain a clearer picture of the analysis of not only this video game but cultural trauma and cultural studies as well, it is important to mention this guy from time to time. I hope you enjoyed the video, though and found my "explanation" to be helpful, keep in mind that this is what I personally believe about the origin story of his idea. Anyway, thank you for your comment and have a great rest of the week!

If it helps, Freud gave the draft of "Moses and Monotheism" a subtitle: "A Historical Novel" - this suggests Freud is aware he is speculating wildly, but that the book is an exercise in applying psychoanalysis to subject matter outside the domain of pure psychology. No idea why he dropped the subtitle, though: he either stopped viewing it as a fiction, or thought its fictional dimensions would be obvious to readers. I'm still learning about Freud myself, so don't have any answers. But I think this tidbit of information helps reframe the question of Freud's revisionism.

King's Field IV OST - Dark Reality

Thank you for your comment! I am really happy that this video inspired you!

Thank you! I am happy that you enjoyed it !

Completely understandable, but I feel like these guys are doing such a good job about it that it's completely useless to talk about "lore". So I'm just going to talk about things that I am familiar with! Thank you for commenting, for watching and I hope you enjoyed it !

@@IronShakespeare I enjoyed it very much so. You managed to say something different about a topic that's been talked to death, so you're clearly onto something.

It'd be awesome to hear an episode with you on the New Gods Podcast

Thank you so much! I'm flattered!

Thank you for watching and for your thoughtful feedback. The primary aim of this video wasn't to provide an in-depth explanation of psychoanalytic theory, as there are already plenty of resources available for that. Instead, this video served as a personal outlet for me, creating a sort of bridge between therapy and informative content. I needed to talk about this game and share my thoughts to get it out of my system, basically. And I do agree with you regarding the "profound" I have a tendency to do that, I'd rather work on letting the content speak for itself. Again, thank you!

Agreed!

Thank you for your comment and I am very happy to have you here! From what I can see from your channel, you really do look similar to Leon! Are you still in the modelling business?

And what do you want me to do about it?

I don't know if I mentioned this in the video but Lyotard defines postmodernism as “that which, in the modern, puts forward the unpresentable in presentation itself; that which denies itself.” Lyotard argues that there was a strong emphasis on rationality, progress, and the belief that knowledge and truth could be universally established and presented objectively. However, in the postmodern condition, Lyotard suggests that there is a shift away from this notion. The “unpresentable” refers to elements that resist or defy straightforward representation, categorization, or explanation within the framework of traditional modernist thinking. These elements challenge the established norms, values, and narratives that seek to provide a unified and coherent account of reality. In this light, Akira challenges conventional notions of rationality, progress, and the unpresentable, and it uses fragmented and ambiguous storytelling techniques to convey its ideas about the human condition and the nature of reality. It also blurs the boundaries between different genres, employing elements of science fiction, horror, and even Westerns to create a unique blend of styles and tones. Sure, a typical trope of postmodernism is that everything has a political value attached to it, however I believe that that we can very much so identify a certain degree of of separation between a political viewpoint and the actual literary practices (you have blending of genres, visual symbols that that convey deeper meanings beyond the purely political and ideological and so forth). And even at a face value, the medium of comic books, or manga in this case, is inherently postmodernist due to its blending of literary and artistic elements (The combination of illustration, characterization, narration, and storytelling techniques). Postmodern ideologies, through their emphasis on deconstruction, fragmentation, and multiple perspectives, challenge fixed notions of identity and provide space for alternative narratives and diverse subjectivities. I really forgot and I am too lazy to look back at the video, but I hope I mentioned pastiche as well ( and this is in relation to Japanese history and it is both relevant in the manga as well as the animated film adaptation). All in all, I agree with you and I am really glad you started a conversation about this topic.

I mean, it's your opinion but I don't think I can explain postmodernism and identity theory in "simpler" words. "Tumults" is a very interesting word choice as well, I don't think I sound confused at all. What makes you think I am too full of myself?

I've been telling my close friends that the intro was really solid on this one. Thank you! The fact that somebody who comes from outside my social circle and says the same thing feels really good! I appreciate it!

@@IronShakespeare I love writting and storytelling, trust me. You have it in you. Keep it alive!
