God, sexuality & the psyche. CS Lewis and Sigmund Freud tabletalk. Thoughts on Freud’s Last Session

The new movie Freud’s Last Session is well worth a watch, particularly if either man is of interest.
The issues you might expect are aired between them, not least belief in God. But also the more shadowy sides to their lives - Lewis’s relationship with Janie Moore, Freud’s with his daughter Anna.
I enjoyed it, though also wondered if they might have discussed other things and found common ground.

I liked your comments, stopped at the beginning, watched the film and carried on with your video. I liked the film very much, it showed me that deep inside I was both "men". ..finding God in certain miraculous moments and also rejecting faith when suffering is too strong... so I found it very interesting and very human! Thanks for sharing❤

Thanks Mark. Watched this last week. Was a bit dissapointed by it to be honest. Not a patch on Shadowlands.

The historical freud and the historical Lewis are mined to produce a seemingly extempore dialogue, but the historical record is a fiction. Can you produce truth from partial truth? We see the Truth as through a glass darkly, but it is a fraction of the whole: in this treatment we are asked to use the fraction that became the histories to construct two men looking through the glass as they do so. This only matters if either one or both are worth listening to - that is that they could be original speakers - since I can think of some who can be guaranteed to stick to their script through thick and thin in which case the historical approach might be valid, if not worth the trouble of portraying it.
