Synopsis Eric Bishop of Manchester is a postman killed by his personal life. Since his second wife left him, is in charge of two teenagers and troubled, who with their irresponsibility will complicate life. The daughter from his first marriage was asked to take care of your baby, and this means that you have to do every day to his first wife, Lily, whom he abandoned for many years without any explanation, and which still in love.
One night in his room, watching a football poster of his idol, Eric Cantona, he wonders aloud how he could face conflicts if it were in place.

Travel
Eric feels overwhelmed and in despair, as well as driving the car out of control, lost control of his life. Given their apparent apathy, coworkers, while friends try to comfort him and when he discovered in a negligent attitude, not only do not judge you but help. In his dismay
invoked his idol, Cantona, who was credited with the voice of his "other-self, his" alter-ego. "
Cantona, a harsh and brilliant footballer of Manchester United now retired, he is trying to messages as they will face obstacles.

Eric is a man living the mistakes as a heavy burden, hindering progress in life. His alter-ego conveys that there are always more options that we just have to try. Nothing is final and see the mistakes and unintended effects but reversible, empowers us to take them as opportunities to apply our experience, and reconciles us with the unpredictability and uncertainty of life.

Eric, the voice of the other-I reveals that the feeling of loneliness is what leads to investigate on the interior to find the target. Eric discovers that communicate the truth of your feelings gives you a clarity and force. And when the need is to say "no", the authority gets to be felt is sufficient to say that it can be.

Eric appears to him the importance of trust in their peers, their friends, the people want, the need to take risks, to share problems to try to solve.
Once there, we dare to ask, to express what's wrong, what I need. Teamwork, friendship, complicity with whom I have at hand is developing as we're showing, and this requires taking the risk to be told "no." Invoking "I can not" ask for shame, pride ... it is just an excuse to avoid giving me a negative response, and this attitude makes me a state of isolation in which, indeed, do not give chance to reject me but do not let me experience that I want to help, I want to give.
In the film, the peer group collaboration is essential for Eric can handle the complicated and risky situation facing.
In life there are times that I can act alone and others that do not. The crux of the matter is to realize that we can not go out alone in the problems, we always need someone to help us. Another very different thing is that what you do, to resolve, is a case to make my own.

The Eric panic attack and gestures to the warnings of his father reveals the deep attachment he has with him. Failure to meet and review the destructive power that the opinion of his father is on it means that you do not own your life. We can exercise our own authority unsuitable to our identity. Eric suffers the consequences of leaving unfinished business and until we resolve it can not grab your life.
The key is to resolve, close and fire. Just listening to my inner voice I meet what I want, then close and it is available to any exchange. If I leave it pending, do not act according to what I live in the present, but what I was awakened by what I had in the past and left unfinished.

"Looking for Eric", with a friendly tone and sentimental, it shows the darkness of the suburbs where the temptation criminal threat, the infamous police brutality, and chronic loneliness families made pieces. And amid all this reveals the need for trust.
Lily, the first woman, to his way of doing things naturally, without artifice, means trust and security that you decide to have. And this real sorry to see it rooted in a hard life like yours.

is, ultimately, a heartwarming story that speaks of self acceptance and overcoming personal problems with the help of others, a witness against the individualism, and how a more cohesive group than the sum of its members.
As in football, teamwork prevails over the individuals.

us about the experience death. In particular the process of mourning the loss of a loved one. And the death of a style or mode of living with the loss of a profession, dismissal, bankruptcy or cessation of activity. A death as death by loss of social status. A death by suicide. A death by accident. Approaching death watch and learn from different perspectives from which we annealed some insurance.

With each of these deaths are psychological and personal issues that move, the "dying" before he died, and whom or who are still alive after the death of the deceased.

Life and death are choices. Life involves energy, courage, determination, hope, joy of living. Death is the end of it.
death occurs and can also be chosen. What leads us to choose it? Despair, hate, life believing there is no output. Although we also carry things to death, understood death as the cessation or termination of an activity or relationship, when we no longer satisfied. In the case of the protagonist, takes his dismissal from the orchestra to leave his job as a musician, who apparently did not satisfy him and he carried a large financial debt, and decides to return to his childhood home. Closing and starting without being aware of it, a new overture to his life that will take to reinstate their identity on a trip to his childhood, and thus begin his life again.

Death may be more or less consciously, like life. The more aware more full, safe and peaceful. The more unconscious we are more outstanding issues will be resolved and therefore less light, energetic and happy live.

This time I focus on the journey that makes the protagonist to leave his job, die as a professional musician, with all that implies, and return to his childhood home. It is a return journey, and in principle has the support of his girlfriend, who accompanies him.
The hero, Daigo returns home and finds himself without money and with the need to find work. Search and find a job "that helps to travel", granted an interview and will know what it is about work. To his surprise, the job is mortician. Horrified first finds the error in the notice, to deny the evidence, and knocked down and after releasing their new leader a wad of banknotes accepted the job. Silent goes home with money and buy good food for dinner with your partner. The star hidden from his wife back to what happens with regard to his new job.

Daigo Days pass and your new job is closer to the experience of death, from by different states, terrified, in the plague, a section, and finally abandoned. And history repeats itself, again leave him. Meanwhile, his work being accepted Daigo and the experience of death, and above all and through contact with people with whom you work, s comrades, relatives of the deceased and the deceased himself, it enters the sphere of privacy, proximity and contact with other persons, who looks pained, angry, expression and even sticking to the death of a loved one.
At this stage of the film we see the various psychological issues at play in the grief process, which were present in the lives of these people, with conflicts and conflicts that were unresolved and that death emerge. Outcrop guilt, resentment, fear, etc. And, fortunately, for surfacing and being aware of this is the only way to give change. This approach to people and families of the dead is what allows Daigo contact and dynamic with their own psychological issues, which were hidden until this journey and have to surface and changing the emotional tone as the grieving process is giving. Besides these relatives were grateful to him and his boss, the work done with their dead, treatment care and respect they moved. SHOCK
means moving. Daigo As you approach this experience more human crop memories, expressive capacity and shared with coworkers, boss and secretary. Be loving and respectful is what we all need and what it costs us to be when we are imbued with unresolved psychological issues.
In these moments of history his wife leaves him when he learns his new trade. So Daigo is left alone, dedicated to his work in the company of their colleagues. His old world is gone.
In these moments of solitude and companionship with peers, come Christmas. And they share their sadness and anger Daigo for the abandonment of his father as a child. Daigo
shown contempt to the memory of his father, he starts talking about his father, so far said nothing.

's wife dies baths. Daigo had a positive affect and a link to this woman was who and where recourse when she was sad as a child. Daigo to say goodbye to this woman appreciates all given, provided, lived with her, reborn in him the ability to be linked positively with his father, who recalls closely communicated and shared. Daigo now also deliver positive relationship with his wife.

With the death of his father see as Daigo to abandon his father froze on that experience and situation. Frozen blur. Unable to absorb what happened, turning in on oneself. So stuck in this situation of loss and farewell without anchor their way of life, act in life that time and repeat your story over and over again. Deserted him and left him again and again, just as his father. But this time Daigo make a change, to undertake this journey after job loss occurs without awareness, the opportunity to reestablish his relationship with his father.

How is this reconnecting with his father? We first see her resistance, first rejects, refuses, does not, then your co-worker says I do, sharing its experience of abandonment. Are moved, they soften. Daigo, first flees, escapes, full of rage starts to run, stopped, and decides to approach his father.

What happens in reuniting with her father?
Given that people build our identity based on what our parents lived, Daigo to return to his father discovers that his father has not forgotten, and has been present. Daigo then it may hurt and be hurt by the loss of his father, closing the old situation and recover outstanding among other things the importance of himself.
And the new order of life is given. Daigo now has the capacity now positively linked with others.

Supports Daigo in the process, his new boss. A head clear, present, generous, and concise. That welcomes and teaches and who gets to be intimate and equal. His secretary sincere, clear, loving, tender, close and firm. The cello, as a means of attachment, expression and vehicle for contact with the past. His family encouraged him with its freshness and ingenuity to take a trip to the past. Their work and the people you contact and relationship.

to recover and reintegrate our identity we need to close these past situations where we get stuck and make us live a limited, biased and repetitive. In this work therapy to return to a more expressive, shared, and in conjunction with the / s too / s.

This story is an example of outstanding duel, a duel yet done and that makes all life from the confinement, the stubbornness and hatred. And we see as one is opened again to life is to share, expansion, through pain and pleasure in the process of life and bereavement.

Dry Psoriasis Dandruff



Address: Gustave Kervern, Benoit Delépine.
Actors: Yolande Moreau , Lanners, Bwnôit Poelvoorde, Albert Duzontel.
Nationality: France.
Year: 2008.
Duration: 94 min .

factory in somewhere in Picardie, a group of workers out of work, just after the management assured them that despite the rumors, the factory will close. As a show of good faith, gives direction to each of them a robe with his name, a fact that deserves a joint celebration in a pub. The next morning they go to work are that the hangar where the factory was empty.

address has offered compensation. Ten of the workers get together and decide to pool their money and do something with it. Among the actions being considered are: assemble a pizza, make a calendar of them naked and kill the boss. Win this latest unanimously. Hire a hitman to finish off the boss. What end? The revenge I suppose.

This is a strange film, the first word that crosses my mind is "absurd" but not quite right, there is something in it that makes it less absurd than the fact that we have on a daily basis media. I suppose it is unrealistic in terms of exaggerated tone mainly by the number of situations that occur one after another. I guess the right word is surreal.

revenge as a plot certainly is not new, either in film or in life. Revenge against an act of social injustice is also done in a way so dirty, creating unnecessary expectations that make the fall is harder, puts the viewer side of the avenger. And so in this film. It is curious that even the end, when hurt innocent people just do not have a clear what he feels, because by then, it has been fond of these marginal characters after so many shocking situations, has lost the parameters of good and bad socially established .

Its main characters are Louise and Michel. Louise works in the factory is a big woman little awkwardly integrated among workers. She lives alone in a building that is about to be demolished, but as Louise can not read and does not socialize with neighbors, is not entirely until it falls behind a day after losing his job. Is learning to read, teach a child in your neighborhood, but so far has only learned the vowels. Because she is the one who proposed the assassination of the leader and takes care of finding the murderer begins to interact more with people, with the first factory workers and the murderer and his neighbor hired later.

Michel is the assassin. Louise is not who planned to hire but by chance he meets and begins his relationship. This is a lanky man, awkward and sloppy play in espionage and in fact has never killed anyone, nor can to do so, despite the money they offer but has enough cunning and amorality to find a solution.

Both are united by their poverty and marginalization. One difference, Michel lives in a fantasy world of American film while Louise is very realistic, even when the reality is surreal film dyes, takes life as it comes and respond naturally.

One of the key issues that the film portrays the inequality and social injustice. An injustice to which the oppressed, the battered, revolt, say enough. Before the pitorreo to which they are subjected: mint, stripped of their means of life, and "compensation" miserably, they decide to join these "claims" ridiculous and do something useful with them. Something that, while not going to solve life, will indemnify morally, or at least seem to believe. Indeed, the spectator, to see how to load a callous and sneaky characters who have cheated, humiliated and left on the street people in a precarious situation, could not but feel a pleasant energy shock, I guess because a projection of those issues of injustice that I have outstanding and will probably never have occasion to avenge. They say that revenge is not the way, it probably is, but how good you feel when viewed on the screen.

This reflects the social classes the rich are obscenely wealthy and the poor live in abject poverty and marginalization. Everyone seems to be sick, the rich richer diseases: is the great mogul posted to your every minute buying and selling stocks without stopping, objectify people in their surroundings, employees, wife, son ... and playing with them as if lego dolls they were while running the tape of his private gym or soaking up the sun in the hammock by the pool of his mansion, none of which is able to enjoy. We also found the chieftain of the factory that is passed idle days in his dingy office with the illusion of being powerful and having a ball power forward who does the dirty work, the last, lie to the workers about working conditions in which they find themselves. The degree of depersonalization of the social classes is at the point where the headquarters of a business group consists of boxes with the names of each member company, with no humans to be addressed, even to settle.

And are the poor, diseases of the poor: unemployment, lack of money to cover basic needs like food, eviction from their homes, illiteracy, which can lead to situations as grotesque as you can not read an ad that takes three months written on the door of your building you said that he would turn into ashes and you will run out of it and, so soon no longer have a place to live or even a place to go to claim it. So you just have to impotence, the feeling that nothing you can do when your rights are violated shamelessly. Maybe that's why such an extreme measure and unacceptable from a rational point of view, is can be emotionally acceptable.

have few both seem to be afraid of losing it and becoming obsessively collect his world in a mass of lifeless things buying and selling by the piece, the others have so little, how they are powerless remove even the little they have and are the only way out of his impotence false sense of power that can take the life of another person. Both play to be God in his own way, perhaps not to assume that poor or rich, we are powerless over what insurance affords us all, death.

The socially excluded are also a fundamental part of the plot, those people who society wants them to move apart and those spaces are reserved for the most remote and darkest of times. These spaces and the times that otherwise persist in maintaining to visit when our darker ghosts are tired and need rest so much hypocrisy in these margins, airing their shameful and perverse instincts (and unrecognized), allowing us to keep intact the illusion of living in a world of neat and spotless. Thus, among others in the film are manifest ex-offenders, transvestites, the killers, the paranoid recognized transsexuals, the dying, the sick, immigrants and the unemployed ... involved and support the future "official" system and seem invisible in daily life. The film beautifully reflects this in a moment in which Louise and Michel asked a street address a pedestrian dressed and he continues to walk as if even acknowledged its existence. The effect it has on me is the existence of two parallel planes of reality in terms of space and time that can not communicate. For the poor rich and the poor are the rich like a robot who does not get his voice. For each of the other is a ghost.

a spectator
My sympathy is certainly with the poor and marginalized even as they cross the line of what is morally acceptable to me. Unfortunately, I have to confess that in my daily life I'm closer to the PLC hypocritical that helps maintain your lifestyle with poverty and marginality, that, as Laurie Anderson says, "is silent in three different languages" and agree with my silence and inequality and social injustice.

This film is dedicated to Louise Michel, a prominent French anarchist who was one of the leading figures of the Paris Commune (brief insurrection that occurred in 1871 and ruled the city of Paris for three months and that universal suffrage was introduced and a common political project self-managed), and was tirelessly committed to social causes and all those policies aimed at achieving equality and social justice. Also, was a poet, writer and educator. While the movie does not play directly the facts of the life of Louise Michel, does have aspects that reflect the tone of his life.
