"Grace"

C.S. Lewis is having a divine revelation.

If you have a Region 1 🇺🇲🇨🇦 or multi-region DVD player, I highly recommend purchasing the DVD for the deleted scenes! They are utterly delightful and showcasing Matthew's wonderful acting.

Orla Brady is also fantastic.

17 years apart.

It's hard to get them in the same shot either in Empire (2005) or Picard S2 (2022) But I give you Santiago Cabrera and Orla Brady with a 17 year gap. In Empire she's Atia and he's Octavian (mother and son). By 2022 she barely looks like she's aged at all, and he went from pretty boy to absolutely-fucking-gorgeous.

Freud’s Last Session Review – Brilliant Performances Drive Complex Story

WOW! Freud's Last Session "is a masterclass in artistic expression…" Matthew GoodE "matches [Anthony] Hopkins in quality, verbally spar with the skill of expert swordsmen communicating with rapier wit, biting sarcasm, and even in the silence delivering a powerful, complex, layered story."

Review by Janet Walker (Haute Lifestyle October 31, 2023) Photo: Sony Pictures Classics

Freud's Last Session, from Sony Pictures Classics, presents a masterclass in performance through the fictitious meeting of psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud and theologian C.S. Lewis as the elder atheist, nearing death, debates the plausibility of religion.

**SPOILERS ALERT**

The film, which screened at AFI Fest 2023, begins in the home of C.S. Lewis, played by Matthew GoodE, as the radio is playing announcing the beginning of World War II where he speaks kindly to a woman, which is assumed to be his wife/companion [Janie Moore played by Orla Brady], "We've made it through one war, we'll make it through another." He arrives in London, where parents in desperation are sending their children to the countryside to keep them away from the possibility of death, sad goodbyes and promises of home soon are heard.

Immediately the scene cuts to a home in London, where Anna Freud, played by Liv Lisa Fries, is chiding her father, Sigmund, played by Sir Anthony Hopkins, to be kind to his guest. As she leaves the house, she and Lewis pass on the sidewalk, and she pleasantly prepares him as he is about to walk into the analytical fire. Once the door opens and Freud and Lewis are in the same room, each attempt, while intermittingly listening for bombs and switching on the news to determine if seeking shelter is imperative. As an observer to the theorists each present and defend their respective religious beliefs, each wandering further into the other's reasoning to by chance glimpse the possibility of entertaining a half-notion that the other could possibly be correct in their belief. As it is, Lewis, who lived through World War I is plagued by PTSD and when they are summoned to take shelter in the basement of a church, he relives the harshest of those memories. Comforted by Freud, we see the ability to have vastly different beliefs and opinions and still meet in a common ground of humanity. This storyline segues as Freud seizes the opportunity to step into the mind's door that opened and walk Lewis through his war trauma. A layer of Lewis' character is pulled away as we understand he made a death pact with his best friend that if anything should happen to either of them each would care for their mother's. It is here we learn that the woman, introduced in the beginning scenes, Janie Moore, played by Orla Brady, was in fact the mother of his dearest wartime friend who died on the battlefield. Freud, of course, who believed all psychosis that every person experiences is due to childhood. To debate here seems irrelevant, as it is presented in the film, he is dying and his daughter Anna, who is an accomplished child psychologist in her own right, is tethered to her father, to the point of her own determinant leaves her lecture because her father is in need. The possibility of the day and time, the period in which Freud lived made these assumptions logical are clearly played out as we understand Freud is dying of oral cancer, almost ironic one could say for someone who exercised his opinions to lose the ability to converse possibly, especially in the context of the film and conversation, had some otherworldly connotation.

Lewis we also understand is a caretaker, possibly to avoid real connection, he bears the burden of his dying friend and therefore will not leave Freud in his time of need. Freud's Last Session is a masterclass in artistic expression. Sir Anthony Hopkins is in top form and Matthew Goode, who matches Hopkins in quality, verbally spar with the skill of expert swordsmen communicating with rapier wit, biting sarcasm, and even in the silence delivering a powerful, complex, layered story. Freud's Last Session opens December 22, 2023. See it.

Star Trek: Picard

Fly Me to the Moon

[tuttle-did-it]

Remember they brought on Riker and Deanna in the last episode of Star Trek: Enterprise, and how offensive it was that Enterprise wasn't even allowed to finish their own show?

That's exactly what Star Trek: Next Generation has done to Star Trek: Picard. Except instead of displacing the Picard cast for the last four minutes, they displace the Picard cast for an entire season. For 1/3 of the entire show's run.

All of the Picard characters, except Picard himself, have been shunted to the side and are no more than wallpaper on the set- *IF* they are in the season at all. ONLY the Legacy TNG characters men matter. All of the Legacy TNG women do nothing but give the men someone to talk to or someone to rescue. They are furnishings that come with the ship. They are ghosts with no identity, no purpose.

Seven, who is one of the most dynamic Legacy Trek characters ever, and who was, for the first two seasons, integral to the story whilst simultaneously having her own thing going on, is diminished to taking abuse ad being dead-named from Shaw for most of the show, not being able to even be in the same room as her lover, and sitting in the shadows existing entirely so that Picard and his son can have someone to talk to.

Raffi, Ro Laren, Shelby- it's like they don't exist. Juratti and Laris are rarely acknowledged as even existing. You could digitally paint Seven out of most of her scenes, and almost nothing would change about the scene itself. You could digitally paint out most of these women and 90% of their scenes would barely change. And they fucking fridged Ro Laren.

How the cast of Star Trek: Enterprise felt about having TNG come in and take over their show at the 11th hour? That is how the Star Trek: Picard cast should feel, but worse because they were brought in at the 7th hour, not the 11th.

Matalas' hard-on for TNG men trauma-dumping and saving the day has done far more damage to Star Trek: Picard than that awful Enterprise ending ever could.

Jeri Ryan, Michelle Hurd, Orla Brady, Allison Pill, Evan Evagora, Isa Briones, Santiago Cabrera all deserve to be furious, right now. We all do.

Even Jonathan Frakes acknowledges having him on Enterprise 'wasn't a great idea.' And yet he doesn't seem to have a problem with coming on Picard in season 3 and essentially taking over the entire show, pushing aside every one of the original Picard cast members, including Jeri Ryan.

He and Marina Sirtis have done the same thing, twice- coming into a show that was NOT about TNG, and by their mere presence, it becomes about TNG.

Laris: You're just using Jean-Luc! You don't really love him, Q.

Q: And what, pray tell, would make you come to such an astoundingly ridiculous conclusion?

Laris: I don't know much about you, Q.

Q: You don't say.

Laris: But, I do know you're powerful--

Q: Beyond

Laris: You are cruel and vile--

Q: You've been hanging with Guinan, haven't you?

Laris: Look! Just shut up! Just...let me speak!

Q:

Laris: You could have anyone you wanted.

Q: Oh, really?

Laris: And yet, you insist on playing these games with him!

Q: No more games. They...never really were.

Laris: Oh? And what would you call them?

Q: Something deeper. Meaningful. Scaffolding to where he and I are today.

Laris:

Q: I hate to break your poor, little, rejected heart, my dear, but it's always been a slow burn between us. A love story. Over thirty years in the making--

Laris: I don't believe it. You're telling me that Jean-Luc loves you?

Q: He does. I know he does.

Laris: Well, he can't.

Q: If you're such an expert on Jean-Luc Picard, perhaps you can educate me.

Laris: Because he will never submit to your power, Q! You can't make him love you the way you want.

Q: Can't I?

Laris: I don't know that much about you. But, I think I despise you.

Q: What can I say? You're in good company. I could make Jean-Luc fall head over heels in love with me. I could seep into his mind, his thoughts, his very soul ...

Laris:

Q: And will him to submit to me.

Laris:

Q: But, what good would that do? What meaning is there in forcing him to give himself to me?

Laris:

Q: You grossly misjudge me, madam.

Laris: You mean, with all these great powers at your fingertips, you're willing to forgo any opportunity in ensuring he loves you?

Q: I can lose Jean-Luc. I can watch him turn from me a million times. I can let go...if it means he will have what is best for him.

Laris: I don't--

Q: I'm sure you would do the same for him. You agree with me, n'est-ce pas?

Laris:

Q: Now, what was this about my not really loving him?

Laris:
