Like i said i'm not telling anyone not to like it, all I said is that it (anime) does not follow structured story telling which usually amounts to garbage IMO. You guys all agree that Lain goes way outside the structure of story telling and is trying to be very different.
However on the imdb message boards people talk about how there are shots where the camera does a slow... really slow pan across the girl's face to show her emotion as she deals with the idea that she's dead and they said it's really overly dramatic and borderline goofy. *shrugs*
DJ/ if they have any evidence to support the idea of ego or ID not existing in the human mental make-up then we're more fucked than ever. It's Freudian's theory on the subconscious that is based in instinctual needs and immediate satisfaction of those primitive needs. Now throw it in to modern society, shake, boil for 12 hours, dice in to cubes and put in a blender and pour liberally and you have your average Jane or John in modern western culture. It's the kind of theory that has real workings and we can see it happening. It can never actually be proven, just accepted (from what I understand) and since we know that during gestation in the womb we actually go through our worm, fish, lizard, mammal then human "musical chairs" and actually have these layers of the brain present in all human beings (other mammals lack the human layer) it is a safe assumption to view the human psyche as a tower built on the foundation of primitive instincts or 'the fish brain' (the most simple brain layer). Though there is evidence to suggest that the 'human layer' is more like an over-powered mammalian layer but whatever same thing.
