Glad I could remember; guess the ECT did not destroy my brain completely!!!
I tried to find some Bergman movies to rent this weekend. None to be found. So, maybe by next weekend I can find some to see all over again. Of course I have to challenge myself and watch one of the depressing ones and see if I can not get depressed. I am fairly certain I can. If I can listen to sex offenders talk about their offenses and read the police and medical reports and/or do the same with someone who has killed someone, even a child or infant without getting depressed about it or hating the person, then I guess I am doing better than I sometimes think. But then I can compartmentalize very well thank you very much. Actually, that is not always a bad thing. T thinks it shows ego strength. There I go with that term again.
Anyway, funny that Woody Allen is mentioned as someone who admired Bergman and who also used symbolism, etc. I used to like Woody Allen and his films and then stopped going to his films when I learned he is basically a pedophile. What a contradiction I am. Well it is what makes us human. Take care.
