Talk:W.R.: Mysteries of the Organism

Page creation
I created this page while watching the film. I hope I didn't miss much.

I'm sure that there are POV statements, and points which could be fleshed out in more detail. I will hopefully get inspired to do more of this soon. Meantime, if you're interested in Reich, and Makavejev, please add to and improve this page.

a thought
I was surprised to find this statement. "This film is pornographic in nature. However the sexually explicit scenes are not constructed to titilate or offend. They are simple depictions of human sexuality." Aren't, " simple depictions of human sexuality," NOT poronography, sort of "by definiton?" Carptrash 02:01, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)


 * Hi Carptrash, I might take out this section. It seems superfluous on second reading.

 * I have never seen this film, but the way it is described in the article, it looks like a prehistoric episode of Real Sex... Hektor 15:24, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Category:Sexology
This film deals with the life and work of Wilhelm Reich, a sexologist. The film looks at his sexological practices (vegetotheraphy, the orgone accumulator) and the intersection between sexual inhibition and regressive political ideology (fascism) as descibed in Reich's work The Mass Psychology of Fascism. This film is sexological is nature. The intertwining of narrative and documentary styles does not detract from the sexological nature of the film. This film also features interviews with more recent sexologist, Betty Dodson.

I feel that at this stage, the removal of the 'Category:Sexology' tag should (please) be preceded by discussion. Let's discuss! An An 02:43, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Jim Buckley?
Jim Buckley link leads to a football player. I think this is wrong. Jim Buckley was cofounder of Screw Magazine and also produced films with the company Screw Films. Probably not the same guy. PeterKristo 20:52, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
 * The football player was 12 when the film was shot... Hektor 15:22, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Russian Artist's Parallel's with Lenin
Pointed out the obviously intentional similarities between the Russian Artist and V.I. Lenin 01:49, 27 Feb 2007 (UTC)

Everything the Russian artist says are direct quotes from prominent Russian communists. His speech at the very end is pasted from two unrelated ones by Lenin. When he first appears he reaccounts some stalinist. I wish i remembered which one.79.216.250.254 (talk) 22:45, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

Serbian Title
Added the Serbian title of the movie - the way it's listed on IMdB - will make it easier for people who search for the movie in the original title to find the wikipedia entry. 01:51, 27 Feb 2007 (UTC)

The SONG
Suddenly remembered the name of the song that Vladimir sings at the end of the movie. It's a great song by Bulat Okudzhava, a russian bard-singer. Highly recommended, by the way. :) 00:47, 03 Mar 2007 (UTC)

Original research, no citations
I have added these warning tags because the bulk of this article just appears to be one person's interpretation of the film stated as if it were fact, with absolutely no use of citations for where the interpretation comes from. As it currently stands the article needs some serious rewriting to make it factual. Countermereology (talk) 14:41, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
