    THE ANXIETY OF WESLEY GIBSON IN MICHAEL BRANDT’S WANTED MOVIE (2008): A PSYCHOANALYTICAL APPROACH RESEARCH PAPER Submitted as a Partial Fulfillment of Requirements For Achieving Bachelor Degree of Education By: EKO PUJIYANTO A 320 060 183 TEACHING TRAINING AND EDUCATION FACULTY MUHAMMADIYAH UNIVERSITY OF SURAKARTA 2010 CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION A. Background of the Study Each person is unique individually, with his or her problem, the different experience in his or her lives. Many problems exist and could make people uncomfortable and feel anxieties. His or her experience can be happiness, sadness, hesitation, and anxiety. Occasionally, people are capable to solve the problem rationally, but in certain day, they cannot and the people will disclose falsehood. The people have capability to create feeling and thought. The composition of their feeling and thought are not static, but changeable. One of the problems is love. It is sensitive problem to the people. Because of love, the people can feel happy, unhappy, hesitation and anxiety. Those make people live differently. Anxiety is a style closely related to fear and it has motivational consequence. Anxiety can be nightmare for some individuals, because based on intense inner conflict it may appear when they have problem and they are too hard to solve. Some people reduce the anxiety by escaping from the problem for a moment, it happens because internal factor which can not be controlled in facing the problem. Anxiety may occur when one individual feels his or her society does not treat him or her as an individual who has right to decide. 1 2 Anxiety as one of psychoanalytic principle is part of psychoanalytic study.

  • Jigsaw: Torture Porn Rebooted? Steve Jones After a Seven-Year Hiatus
    Originally published in: Bacon, S. (ed.) Horror: A Companion. Oxford: Peter Lang, 2019. This version © Steve Jones 2018 Jigsaw: Torture Porn Rebooted? Steve Jones After a seven-year hiatus, ‘just when you thought it was safe to go back to the cinema for Halloween’ (Croot 2017), the Saw franchise returned. Critics overwhelming disapproved of franchise’s reinvigoration, and much of that dissention centred around a label that is synonymous with Saw: ‘torture porn’. Numerous critics pegged the original Saw (2004) as torture porn’s prototype (see Lidz 2009, Canberra Times 2008). Accordingly, critics such as Lee (2017) characterised Jigsaw’s release as heralding an unwelcome ‘torture porn comeback’. This chapter will investigate the legitimacy of this concern in order to determine what ‘torture porn’ is and means in the Jigsaw era. ‘Torture porn’ originates in press discourse. The term was coined by David Edelstein (2006), but its implied meanings were entrenched by its proliferation within journalistic film criticism (for a detailed discussion of the label’s development and its implied meanings, see Jones 2013). On examining the films brought together within the press discourse, it becomes apparent that ‘torture porn’ is applied to narratives made after 2003 that centralise abduction, imprisonment, and torture. These films focus on protagonists’ fear and/or pain, encoding the latter in a manner that seeks to ‘inspire trepidation, tension, or revulsion for the audience’ (Jones 2013, 8). The press discourse was not principally designed to delineate a subgenre however. Rather, it allowed critics to disparage popular horror movies. Torture porn films – according to their detractors – are comprised of violence without sufficient narrative or character development (see McCartney 2007, Slotek 2009).
