Film Review: Kathryn Bigelow's Social Plight of Civic Unrest - 50 Years Ago

The Psyche of the Collective Unconscious is Still Haunting America's Social Culture from Generations Past.

I am still trying to identify if The New Yorker’s film critic Richard Brody had favor or dismissed distaste for Kathryn Bigelow’s latest project Detroit.  Just by TNY’s very title “The Immortal Artistry of Kathryn Bigelow’s ‘Detroit’” it unknowingly (or knowingly) recognizes her as an in-charge artistic visionary of her work.  

Ms. Bigelow is consistent in her grit and is focused with her left hemispheric attack in her films.  This seemed to be validated in her Q & A (question and answer) segment last Saturday night August 5, 2017, at The Pickford Center for Motion Picture Study.  

If you like Ms. Bigelow’s previous cinematic offerings you will not be disappointed.  This film transitions historical documentary

You Deserve a Break Today - Ethics, Morals, Politics, Standards. Is it too Much?

What a Bunch of Kroc! No Really?
It's Becoming Overwhelming and Complicated, No?

Some writers are smooth in their blending of ideas and transitioning devices to social relevance.  Basic writing skill helps the reader and allows for the communication to be effective.  So, I could lie and say that I am intentionally manipulating readers to think more by forcing people to ask questions but this is not true.  In reality, I have not fully developed my thoughts coherently.  This, perhaps is a representation of the American psyche due to the countries polared thinking that has been present since before the presidential election.  

One could hope that in the near future there would be a better understand of what is surfacing in the collective unconscious of American.  So I will just shove some topics together haphazardly. For starters there is this film you must see.  Although I am not writing  a film review, The Founder starring Michael Keaton is a must see as it taps into some current themes of today, which unfortunately has been present since the Reagan Administration.  Additionally, how has the recent political climate affected our overall awareness and comprehension of past standards and ethics, and, do standard and ethics change to adapt to the present as we know it?

As we have started to roll through 2017, we as an American collective seem just as conflicted as in November of 2016.  One could assert that we still have not meshed in accepting our disagreements from the past 12 months.  The public has become faced with

Loving vs. Virginia - a love story?

Or a Divine Message From the gods Revisited to Stir an Unease in the Psyche of the 2016 America?

In 1958 Mr. and Mrs. Loving (how appropriate) experienced an opportunistic emergence which ultimately produced Loving vs. Virginia. Some 60 years later the idea of an interracial marriage is not only acceptable, it is relatively common in many areas in the United States. What we had with the Lovings was a political and social vexing that led to a change in life, and relationships, as we know it.

The Lovings were a symbolic Psyche, a mythos.  With Aphrodite representing Virginia, the legal system and ultimately the United States Supreme court; Psyche as, of course, Mildred (also, Richard and Mildred, as a unit, at times worked as the symbolic of Psyche); and, Cupid (Eros, depending on how Depth/Jungian you wish to go) as the Loving relationship itself, and the Loving’s love.  For further analysis of this chronicle of Psyche’s relationship to transforming into her full being or immortality Erich Neumann has a provocative insight in his Amore and Psyche: The Psychic Development of the Feminine (Neumann, 1956).  

As mythology and Neumann presents Psyche’s innocence,
