Jordan Peterson's Favorite Documentary | Crumb [Criterion Collection]

[@kcgp2572]

The documentary can be painful to watch , especially the family still stuck in their past, but his honesty about himself and the honesty in his work are brave.

[@Jeff-tt7wj]

I know he’s no longer with us, but man his brother Charles was one of the most broken people I’ve ever seen. I found it incredibly sad.

[@legionpigsmack1153]

i think if Crumb drew a picture of himself interacting with Peterson, Crumb would be an insect with a pin through his body on a wax mounting, and Peterson would be an evil omnipotent scientist studying him through a magnifying glass

Crumb is the classic “Art transcends the artist”. Even Robert knows that.

[@jamesdelcol3701]

Crumb is a genius. I was always able to see past the surface after experiencing Crumb's work. Crumb expresses what's just underneath the surface. It is post-modern literature in its purest form.

[@leesantana42]

Ja, I mean Genesis is perhaps his masterpiece. And so objective, he is just the observer.

[@printface4935]

Maybe you should read his piece called "Whiteman Meets Bigfoot".

The fact that Crumb exposes himself without any degree of defensiveness makes him to my eyes incredibly brave. Maybe the bravest man that ever lived.

[@bzwaxmanga4344]

Why would he be brave when he said himself that he can't help himself; he drew from compulsion.

[@timstill152]

Robert Crumb didn't try to distance himself from his self described nerdy self. He perceived himself negatively, as we often do. But idea was not to become a "winner". He struggled personally with his imperfect appearance but the artist in him was the one thing everyone failed to see. His burgeoning genius burst through all of that crap naturally on it's own. Robert Crumb didn't become a great artist through a process, he simply was a great artist.

[@adrianwenzel]

dude his mind was fucked by the warped reality he had been granted by his vicious, incestuous, deceitful, disgusting,dirty, ugly, fucking fat mother, and that was maybe, possibly, combined with some sort of introspective birthright in the form of imaginistic talent, or maybe it just developt in accordance with the social limitations he experienced as a consequence of his mistreatment and the hinderance of proper psychological development in his childhood and later, thus allocating more space for a little heaven of introspective security, or misery, depends how you wake up and choose to see it I guess. His mother was a vicious whore, a human who had given up life, and then ruining her childrens lives in consequence. She was incapable of teaching them how to be a normal human and how to be social, how to be a man, how to act around people, how to talk to women. When your mother engulfs, takes advantage of you, fucks you, abuses you in this manner, the creative aspects of your cognition are going to step in and develop fantasies to find catalyzations for the suppressed urges BEGGIN to be channeled into healthy interactions, sexual relationships, stable friendships, competition, and so on. the fact that he perceived himself negatively was a blessing to him, because that meant that had become knowingly self-conscious anough to localized and put his finger, or use his finger, to illustrate what he actually is, the flaws he owns, and gain some insight into their roots and causes, as something that has been localized is easier to identify, characterize, and then get rid of

[@adrianwenzel]

and also, it is not inaction that usually gets boys ruined by digusting fat pig desperate lonely pig mothers like his whore of a fucking mother, it is active coddeling, active weaking, active restraints, conscious attemps to keep the child in the mothers bossom, so he can suckle on her loose tits until he grew old and grey, like roberts brother, fucking hell man, fuck humans like this fuck them, they deserve hell, i dont know if they are going to hell, and i am not the judge, but THEY CERTAINLY ARE THE MANIFESTATION OF psychological hell on earth, and that is as close, as far as i am concerned as a still living bein, as we can get to the notion of the ultimate inferno

[@adrianwenzel]

excuse my language dude, i am caught up in a situation, not as worse, by far, but of a similar kind, and i feel stuck between thinking i am crazy for assuming manipulations, and being right about it, but my fucking emotions have to be coming from SOMEWHERE? i mean i dont see "normal" guys struggling in the manners i do, dont get me wrong, people struggle in their own fucking weird and impossibly difficult ways, but theres something about "my character" as roberts brother mentions it, that is just not quite right, a little mystery, why the fuck are people avoiding? well, luckily, i am starting to learn, that it is "desirable" to behave socially normally, instead of in the kind of the patterns imprinted onto me by my mother, fucking hell.

[@adrianwenzel]

you cant know if he was an artist or not to begin with, so i will assume you are claiming it. Life forces adaptions onto people, and some adaptations, that is just a theory, like anything is, turn out to be socially desirable, which is mostly the effects it has on the psyches of the humans consuming the arts, because the capacities for emotional experiences are not that varied between people, we are of the same biological kind, its just the particularities of the life experiences that are imprinted onto us and that reveal certain emotions, not the underlying structures of emotional experiences themselves. theres a book by oliver sacks where a guy who is highily cognitively and physically limited is encouraged by sacks through rigorous persistence, to reveal his artistic potential, and there you go, he can draw quite well, so he spends all his days drawing in a wheel-chair, in his little creative world: and that migh just be enough for someone who has nothing else in life, it might just be enough to be able to express oneself in one kind of specific way, be it your fingers, be it your mouth, be it your entire body for athletes, all we need in life is purpose, and that purpose can be highly restricted be various limitations, but its something worth striving for. every artist man, every artist shares commonalities in these regards, they are limited, they find something they can become good at, or in some way i will probably never understand are born to be good at, maybe this is the realm of epigenetics, and they become good at is, and suddely, it doesnt matter that their life sucks, as long as they can express their minds and bodies in the forms of creations. Life is like a dance, we are striving to be in sync, and when we are, thats when bliss is experienced, that is magical, that is religious experience, that is transcedental, that is mystic, that is universal alignment, that is where time becomes irrelevant, because the the experience of the ever-present complexity dissolves for a second, a minute, or an hour. that is purpose, and so on..

[@adrianwenzel]

i wish i could explode emotionally like this more often, but unfortunately this type of expression doesnt seem to stick to me during times of frustration and stress, it just kind of comes out and targets the first thing in its way, which is this comment section now, and you personally. but seeing the future in advance helps, predicting the negative aspects about you by unraveling your life, and setting clear goals, that might help prevent some of the frustrations preemptively, but there are so many dragons sticking their crazy heads out inside your midn, its difficult. treat your children well, educated them, explain everything in as humble a manner, as benevolant an intention, and as explicitly and necessary, and speak with your entire soul, let yourself be guided by the truth, and so you can maybe give a child the kind of experience in life, towards which the more or less permanently damaged you is himself striving, and maybe it will even actively help you, give you purpose. i dont want to say there is always light, because it is unimaginable how little chance for light some people coincidentally caught up in the worst situations you can imagine get, like those israelis on the streets, like the newly birthed during the time of afghan taliban invasion, the world is cruel, but as long as you are improving, and doing good, the reason to live is sufficient, and you will experience it as such.

[@JZ-mn8wv]

I saw no evidence in the documentary that Crumb was now a healthy person, having embarked on some grand scheme of self improvement. I heard acknowledgement of his past failures, but not much accountability for having any part in them. Didn’t he even say at one point that he had never truly loved a woman in his whole life? And doesn’t the fact that he continued to use his status to have meaningless affairs, even while married, kind of prove that he’s the same person? Strange for JP of all people to frame it that way.

I was bullied in every school I frequently find myself within, not until i was in my thirties did i realise my hand to which predators in the school yard saw myself as ripened vulnerable for the picking upon. As such, it took many years to find the type of introspection necessary to separate, as Dr. Peterson would put it “ to separate the wheat from the shaff”. Social situations are not dissimilar from a mirror you hold up to yourself, yet most would need a crystal ball to make any sense of what they reflect.

Robert was able to save a few of Charles' drawings and comics but not all of them.

I see certain parallels between Robert Crumb and Howard Stern--2 social rejects from difficult upbringings, who, as self-professed social outcasts and sexual failures when young, dissect sexuality for the rest of us with unique perspectives. You have to understand abject failure in order to comprehend success.

[@ARIZJOE]

I would not consider Howard to a be a social reject (nor Crumb, all that much). Howard's father worked as an engineer, helping people like Don Adams in a studio. Howard said, "That looks like fun." Robert Crumb worked for American Greetings drawing cards at a very young age. He did better than most of us. Unlike most of us, Crumb had real talent.

[@christomorpho]

Fark. I just realised something about myself

[@davestephens8033]

Crumb became successful with women?" Yeah, once he became rich. Women ended up abandoning him because of his obvious hatred of women in his cartoon stories. I had a similar early family life. A dominant military father who left me with a hatred of myself, because I looked alot like him when he was young, a NERD with thick glasses....women ignored me and only wanted to be "friends" with me because I weighed 95 pounds at age 18, thick glasses and "lazy eye," and not handsome. I did want to be a cartoonist at age 20, but my Dad couldn't afford to send me to Art Center in California, where he trained to be a combat photographer in WWII. He made me want to go there then let me down. I ended up becoming a graphic designer for 35 years, on my own initiative and a partial VA income from a short time in the US Navy, which was at least a career in art, and proud to say I was the only one in my class in JC that actually became successful. I really grew up disgusted by the "pretty people" who got away with murder simply because of their looks. Our society dumps on you if are a social outcast. So I can relate to what he drew about women and criminal politicians. Pretty people are really shallow, I got used by good looking women in my time who think they are owed something because of their looks, so in that regard maybe I was lucky. I'm married now to a wonderful woman who has helped me through my life when I've fallen down trying to deal with a shallow society that thinks reality shows are the most important thing in life. Crumb's art is just incredible, but I never read his comics, and where I lived in Arizona, you couldn't find those comics anywhere in Tucson. I only discovered him many years later. His mastery of the Hunt 102 crowquill pen and the Rapidograph pen is why am drawn to his work. As a person, sometimes I find him rather disgusting at times, but I study his technique and learn from him as a Master cartoonist.

Does "oedipus complexe" really exist ? I saw the documentary. The way the mother was denying her son's reality remind me more of narcissistic behavior.

[@ARIZJOE]

Peterson makes this grand pronouncement that Crumb ws Oedipal. That is not true. He and his psychotic brothers had problems because their father came home from WWll as a cruel martinet. Crumb had a sexual fetish for Bugs Bunny. Crumb had a fetish for his Aunt's cowboy boots. Crumb married his first wife young. He had the same insecurities as the rest of us. But he had the artistic talent to parlay that into lots of women. It's an old story. Crumb also was fortunate, getting employment early at American Greetings. Crumb was born at the right time to tap into the San Francisco counter culture. Crumb did not listen to Peterson, and take a job at a potash mine in Saskatchewan, or run a Tim Horton's in Hamilton. Crumb intentionally lived the life of a bohemian artist, flouting convention. And Peterson cannot comprehend that.
