Getting to Know Sigmund Freud, Dr. Josef Breuer and Friedrich Nietzsche

Another movie night for sure. Jenny Meadows was over, so we watched "When Nietzsche Wept."  I'm not sure how to explain the film without getting long-winded. Having been involved with Men's trainings and ShadowWork for years and, of course, More To Life, I found the movie intriguing and personally insightful.  I feel certain I'll be mulling over what I learned tonight - well into this new week. My kind of movie.

Most of all I enjoyed getting to know these influential men in history and the women who shaped their lives. Woman do make such an impact on us guys in many wonderful and mysterious ways. Be sure to watch the special features where they talk with the director and the actors about 'the making' of the movie. That really helped me understand how the film was put together and why.

Here is the Netflix summary:

In 19th-century Vienna, Dr. Josef Breuer (Ben Cross) and his protégé Sigmund Freud (Jamie Elman) employ a new method of "talk therapy" on a penniless, depressed philosopher named Friedrich Nietzsche (Armand Assante). Based on the award-winning novel by psychotherapist Irvin D. Yalom, the romantic drama explores the gripping stories behind these influential men, as well as the women who shaped their lives.

Jenny's add-on: The costumes and scenery are lush, and the acting is superb. There are so many lines that could have been said by Brad or Roy (co-founders of More To Life). Well worth sticking through the slow-ish start as you get to know the characters.
