A Dangerous Method.

I don't understand why this movie was made. The story is opaque and the focus of the story isn't clear. There are three main stories, the growth of Sabina Spielrein character, the conflict between Jung and Freud. And Jung stepping away from conformity.

KM says that if I can see where I would do something different in the movie, it detracts from the movie. Usually in the form of a grade point. The issue I see with this movie is that the most interesting character, Sabina is glossed over. Reading wikipedia about her, she may have influenced both men more profoundly than we are let on in the movie. She was Jung's first patient. 

The problem with biopics is that the real life characters are complex and their stories messy. I would have made up this story - loosely based on the real because there are interesting things happening here, but without the constraints of reality to mess up a good story.

"Jung (1905) described her as “oriental” and “voluptuous,” and her face as bearing “a sensuous, dreamy expression.” She was nineteen at the time and had been very protected from sexuality and sexual information."

Keira Knightly is nothing like that. She's the actress du jour but she's not the right actress for the part. She is has a pretty face, and I guess can act. But I don't find her attractive. I'm looking at her having sex and I don't get a twinge - that's sad.
