An excerpt below from the brilliant ‘Personality Syndromes’ paper by @JonathanShedler

I think about this often, and it really gets to the heart of what it’s all about. I’m in the infancy of my career in this field,but this is central 4me.

No me canso de escuchar la banda sonora de Érase Una Vez En América (1984)
Ennio Morricone en estado de gracia. Qué barbaridad.

I love this scene in American Gangster. The moment Denzel Washington walks out of the cafe and faces the chaos, Frank Lucas barely needs to say anything. The way Denzel carries himself makes the whole scene hit harder.

Tom Brady: “You need coaches that push you outside your comfort zone because that’s how you grow and that’s how you develop self confidence and self esteem. They push you to deal with failure.”

David Fincher’s THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO makes the Swedish adaptation feel like a completely different experience. The wintry cinematography, Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross’ score & Rooney Mara’s performance give this version a character all its own.

You've got to start with the customer experience and work backward to the technology. You can't start with the technology and try to figure out where you're going to try to sell it.
—Steve Jobs (masterful response to a difficult question)

Benicio del Toro barely needs to speak in Sicario (2015). The way he watches people, the pauses before he answers, that permanent sense of danger. Alejandro is terrifying precisely because you never quite know what he's thinking.

DRIVE (2011) is one of those rare films where every creative decision feels right. Ryan Gosling, Nicolas Winding Refn, the synth-heavy soundtrack, the deliberate pacing and those sudden bursts of violence all come together into something damn near perfect.

John Cassavetes’ deeply humanistic and raw approach to love in his films and personal philosophy.

After Hours is one of the exact reasons I love Martin Scorsese so much. Scorsese perfectly captures one endless, spontaneous night in ‘80s NYC that could never be recreated today. The ‘80s was such an interesting decade for Scorsese - he tried a lot of new things & embraced bold stories. I love this chapter of Scorsese’s career & I love this film.

Do not fail to appreciate the clinical and personal significance of the dissociative haze of depression.
There's growing papers on the dissociative type of depression. I think this is a very useful framework and it helps account for the way it becomes easy to walk around like a zombie in a world which can seem overwhelming.

“It is one thing to empathize with patients’ experiences of injury and victimization but we must be able to empathize with their negative impulses as well, including sadistic or hateful wishes to attack or to wreak vengeance.”

Timothée Chalamet returns to theaters in 56 days. A new December release from Chalamet has become the norm & it’s an annual tradition I’m starting to look forward to more and more. From A Complete Unknown to Marty Supreme & now the final Dune, Chalamet’s December releases are becoming incredibly memorable.

NETWORK (1976) is somehow even more relevant today than when it was released. A media industry that turns public outrage into ratings, treats news as entertainment and puts profit above truth. Sidney Lumet and Paddy Chayefsky saw the nightmare coming.

Donnie Brasco. I don’t care if this film meets the conventional definition of “Classic” or if it’s old enough to fall in such a category, but I think Donnie Brasco is a classic. Al Pacino’s performance is so, so endearing. We’re used to Pacino as a made-man & the leader of a crew. In Brasco, he’s a solider. This performance from Pacino is filled with humility & Johnny Depp is excellent as well. This is a gangster film that deserves way more attention.

“I’ve never been frightened of failure….I really mean that. If it doesn’t work, it doesn’t work. I felt like nothing could be as miserable as I was when I was nine years old . . . I was quite lonely as a child, an only child. Then I became a caretaker for my mother, very early.”
Film Director Sam Mendes
