Blue Valentine

Watched “Blue Valentine” today. Was not as good as I expected to be, probably because it’s  the same genre movie as Sam Mendes’s Revolutionary Road and François Ozon’s masterpiece 5×2; in the inevitable comparison, it only pales beside the latter two. But still, am a big sucker for flicks that handle how relationship disintegrates. Besides, Gosling’s cunnilingus performance was very real!

You’ll Meet a Tall, Dark Stranger

Watched Woody’s new flick. Very mediocre. Worse than his last one Whatever Works (2009), which I actually quite enjoyed. You should pace yourself to one movie every two years, perhaps.

Is there any good body-centered therapist out there in HK? Or Gestalt therapist? That’s why I still don’t see it as a cosmopolitan city.

Reich views orgasm as an important function because it discharges excess energy and leads to a breakdown of neurotic character structures. He says, full orgasm is absent in neurosis and that only a free mind in a free body can experience and express a total body orgasm, not just a genital one.

Body and mind are functionally identical and that unfinished, blocked energy must be released from muscles of the body and expressed through movement as well as be psychologically finished.

Orgiastic potency! The ability to express all emotions fully!
