Who knew?

This film, about the discovery of the oedipus complex, was shown to us in a Psychology this week. The fact that it is college material, might make you think that this is a boring film and it is in some ways. The film is much, too long and the acting is much (well eh) too dramatic and overdone. There are some good aspects about this film too, though. I thought it was pretty interesting and it also had a couple of laughs. In conclusion that did not do much good though, because this film is about 30 - 45 minutes too long.
