Philmchology with Brenda B, Movie: Noise

Each week psychological view of a movie that has been previously released online or on DVD.  Movies always have a message or situation to consider.  For example, you wake up one day and see slow-moving shadows cross outside your window, followed by screams and literally crunching of your front door.  You sit up and realize you’re experiencing a Zombie apocalypse—What do you do?  Well you pinch, poke, or stab yourself until you wake up and you’d best get those cross trainers on and foot it quickly to the panic room.  No panic room?  Hopefully you’ve tuned into and read Philmchology so you’d know what steps to consider next!  We will be looking at more than monster movies, because there is no such thing as a film without its alter ego: psychology. Let’s say you found the woman of your dreams.  She has the exact cup size and leg length you’ve been dreaming of; in other words, you’re in LOVE. One day she brings a hammer, chisel, and your best fried to break your precious heart into a million pieces---What do you do?  There’s an adage, which says: “the best way to get over someone is to get under someone else.”  Personally, I prefer a safer path to rebounding…(Say it with me: Philmchology).  Monster movies also share romantic suggestions.  Consider “The Fly” (1986), where Geena Davis and Jeff Goldblum fall in love on film and in real life.  It answers the question “How do I know someone really loves me?”  Well---they either hug you sympathetically despite your slimy, molting exterior or they go for the deep forever kind of love.  They want you both to fuse genetically into a throbbing, pulsating goop of gore.  Hey if that ain’t love….  Join us each week for a satirical, sometimes serious, and second look at the psychological side of film.  –Dr2BBerry
