We were quite pleasantly surprised by this show’s mixture of humor, pathos, music, and talent.  Fifteen minutes in, the storylines picked up, the cases were involving, and a play which had seemed trite at first turned out to be quite human and satisfying–Lawrence and Tamar Schwartz

Anal Fantasies and Anal Defenses in “Men in Black”

Wednesday, July 15th, 2009

by H.H. Stein

“Any of the psychic danger situations can evoke regression to manifestations of ‘anal narcissism’—an attempt to master overwhelming feeling by a kind of emotional sphincter action, narrowing down the world to the controllable and the predictable. … the attainment of anal sphincter control functions … as a means to master primal (murderous, cannibalistic) affect.” (Shengold, 1985 p. 47)

“There’s always an alien battle cruiser or a Korilian death ray or intergalactic plague that’s about to wipe out life on this miserable planet. The only way people get on with their happy lives is, they do not know about it.” (Men in Black, 1997, dir. Barry Sonnenfeld) (more…)
