ellauri147.html on line 608: Winnicott's theoretical slipperiness has been linked to his efforts to unclify Kleinian views. Yet whereas from a Kleinian standpoint, his repudiation of the concepts of envy and the death wish were a resistant retreat from the harsh realities he had found in infant life, he too has been accused of being too close to his mother, and of sharing in Klein's regressive shift of focus away from the Oedipus complex to the pre-oedipal.

xxx/ellauri169.html on line 473: Esim venäläisvastainen, Israel-myönteinen näkövinkkeli olisi ollut nyt enemmän kuin paikallaan. Mutta ei, its heavy-handed, tendentious, and regressive! Pahassa ryssämiehessä on muka jotain lieventäviä asianhaaroja. Hah, paskan marjat, paha mikä paha! Ryssä on ryssä vaikka sen voissa paistaisi. Mutta se onkin ulkkareiden oscar-ehdokas. Eine osaa, eivät edes yritä. Missä räväyttävät käänteet, missä car chaset, missä reippaat länkkärit, missä antiryssäily? Eihän tästä tule yhtään mitään, yhtä vätystelevää kuin Aki Kaurismäki. Vitun autistit!
xxx/ellauri250.html on line 431: Sometimes you can tell from the first shot. In “Compartment No. 6,” the camera follows a young woman at a party as she leaves a bathroom and enters a living room full of gathered friends. That walking, back-of-the-head shot is one of the soggiest conventions of the steadicam era, a facile way of conveying characters’ own fields of vision while anchoring the action on them. The familiarity of this trope suggests both limited imagination and an unwillingness to commit to a clear-cut point of view. When used cannily, it can convey ambiguous neutrality and looming mystery, but, more often, it suggests the merely functional recording of action, which is exactly what’s delivered in “Compartment No. 6,” opening in theatres on Wednesday. The movie sinks, fast and deep, under the weight of dramatic shortcuts, overemphatic details, undercooked possibilities, unconsidered implications. It’s heavy-handed, tendentious, and regressive—and it should come as no surprise that it’s on the fifteen-film shortlist for the Best International Feature Oscar.
