The Love and The Evil that The Mind is capable of...

Recently watched a few movies that explored the beautiful vulnerabilities of relationships, the strength and the flaws, the sacrifices and the betrayals. You just cannot stop pondering about how amazing relationships are despite the greys, the evil intentions, the passion that destroys and the commitments that constrain.

The art auctioneer who gets smitten by an heiress who apparently suffers from a strange condition where she fears to appear in front of people - The Best Offer.

A Cuban piano player who follows the extremely successful therefore unattainable love of his life right through his life, to finally unite with her in their old age - Chico & Rita.

A happily married Carl Jung breaks the rules of doctor-patient relationships and indulges in an affair with Sabrina Spielrein who moves from patient to lover to pscyhoanalyst finally training under Sigmund Freud, whose ideas are opposed to those of Jung. - A Dangerous Method.

A depressed murders her husband while sleepwalking, which she claims is a side effect of the anti-depressant drug she was prescribed by her psychiatrist, who later realises that she never did take them, but that the whole act was an evil ploy. - Side Effects.

Sinister ploys, some... tales of romance, others... but all that the mind is capable of in the name of or under the pretext of love.
