A Portrait of the Artist as A Jung Man

 


"We have fire pits with fire attendants, and each have metal rods in the fire," Marti said. "If someone comes up and asks to get poked, the attendant takes the rod out of the fire, knocks off the ashes and plunges it into the mug."

[also used on 'Cocktails']

Just as James Augustine Aloysius Joyce is known to have based 'Ulysses' on the actual Greek Homeric Tale
[something He tried to deny until exposed] Cinema uses known Stories from Myth to construct
its own fantasy Creations. A knowledge of Literature can alter what is seen onscreen in the mind of the viewer.
Joyce was banned in many countries as being 'outrageous' because of His constant references to
Bodily functions- well into the 1950's..so Movie makers used 'Visual Metaphor' containing elements
of the Original to get across to an Audience Their own 'Interpretations'.

A disturbed Childhood is what produces many Adult 'Misfunctions' in Relationships etc..

but what amused You in Childhood-farts etc  will still amuse some into Adulthood and what 
frightened You in Childhood will still Terrify ...'Dracula' etc is a newer version of a very old Tale
from the EAST...But I digress..
