Psychoanalysis and Film

Psychoanalysis is the study of the mind to reveal the role of the unconscious mind.
Pioneers of this study are Freud, Jung and Lacan.

This study can be applied to film in the form of The Id, Superego and Ego. I have made examples of each bellow from the Film Grosse Pointe Blank (1997 Dir. George Armitage).


The Id - Grocer (Dan Aykroyd)

The Superego - Dr Oatman (Alan Arkin)

The Ego - Martin Blank (John Cusack)
