Subj:What a dangerous method!
That surely made me think it over.

Hi Kato,
My truly romance-loving Taliesin,
Thanks so much for all of this.
I'm going to save it so I can savor it all carefully when time allows.
I'm especially grateful for the summary of how "The Piano" ended.

I suppose Alistair finally came to the sad conclusion that Ada would not ever love him like she loved (or was attracted to) Baines and possibly he felt badly for inflicting such a permanent injury.
I think if he had made a bit more effort from the start and displayed some affection towards Ada, the outcome may have been quite different.
Truly, he would have been a better match for her, I think; rather than her ending up with an illiterate tatooed native fellow.
Ah, but attraction? ... who knows?!
Thanks again, though; I did want to know how it all wrapped up.

Back to the Dangerous Method, I think the situation with her father would not necessarily be one of love (doubtful, really) or true hate, but somewhere in between.
Because she felt turned on the time he beat her, in her mind the association was formed between violence and sex---an association that, even though she was an intelligent woman, seemed to persist.
Perhaps she rose about it eventually, and it did seem she married a rather straight fellow eventually and was at least marginally happy.
Such interesting creatures we are, true?
A Dangerous Method
(danger03.jpg)
A Dangerous Method is a 2011 historical film directed by David Cronenberg and starring Viggo Mortensen, Michael Fassbender, Keira Knightley and Vincent Cassel.
The screenplay was adapted by Academy Award-winning writer Christopher Hampton from his 2002 stage play The Talking Cure, which was based on the 1993 non-fiction book by John Kerr, A Most Dangerous Method: the story of Jung, Freud, and Sabina Spielrein.
The film marks the third consecutive and overall collaboration between Cronenberg and Viggo Mortensen (after A History of Violence and Eastern Promises).
This is also the third Cronenberg film made with British film producer Jeremy Thomas, after completing together the William Burroughs adaptation Naked Lunch and the J.G. Ballard adaptation Crash.
A Dangerous Method was a German/Canadian co-production.
The film premiered at The 68th Venice Film Festival and was also featured at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival.
Plot
Set on the eve of World War I, A Dangerous Method is based on the turbulent relationships between Carl Jung, founder of analytical psychology, Sigmund Freud, founder of the discipline of psychoanalysis, and Sabina Spielrein, initially a patient of Jung and later a physician and one of the first female psychoanalysts.

Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I think Jung was happy with his marriage as well; both Jung and Sabina had a close working association, both were exploring the mind and its workings, so they had a lot in common to start; the affair, the sex, the violence was an exciting secret and additional turnon for both of them, but not truly necessary for their longterm happiness.
That's just my take on it.
Perhaps I'm out in left-field.

Wow! Thanks again for all this,
I'm looking forward to reviewing the entire message later,
Have a good weekend, kiddo,
I'm going to a Homelessness Workshop tomorrow at Christ Church Cathedral with Judy Graves, the city's "voice" for the homeless in Vancouver, a woman who has sacrificed her life, really, for those in need.

As part of the Cathedral's soup kitchen team, they wanted to give us a greater insight into the situation and look at possible solutions or at least ways to further help the needy.
Love, Diane ~

Kato, how come you've brought up the old mail? I sent it to you almost two years ago, didn't I?
Yes, you're right, Diane. I thought it was about time for you to rethink about your love life.
Do you think, Kato, I'm in a wrong love relationship with a wrong guy?
Yes, I guess so.
No kidding! How could you possibly say that to me?
Don't get so emotional, Diane... I'm just joking. He, he, he, he, he, ...
Kato, give me a break! Don't give me such a shocking time.
Well ... the reason I've shown the above old mail is, I recently viewed the following DVD.
