I'm a Cyborg, But That's OK Wiki I'm a Cyborg, But That's OK (Korean: 싸이보그지만 괜찮아; Ssaibogeujiman Gwaenchanha) is a 2006 South Korean romantic comedy film directed by Park Chan-wook. Plot[edit] The film takes place mostly in a mental institution filled with an eclectic menagerie of patients. Young-goon, a young woman working in a factory constructing radios and who believes herself to be a cyborg, is institutionalized after cutting her wrist and connecting it with a power cord to a wall outlet in an attempt to "recharge" herself, an act that is interpreted as a suicide attempt. Her delusion is characterized by refusing to eat (she instead licks batteries and attempts to administer electric shocks to herself), conversing almost solely with machines and electrical appliances and obsessively listening to her transistor radio at night for instruction on how to become a better cyborg. In the middle of the storm, the wind blows their tent away, prompting them to hastily protect their food supplies. Cast[edit] Development[edit]
Cartas escaneadas del Tarot de Marsella restaurado por Jodorowsky y Camoin Alejandro Jodorowsky, refiriéndose al Tarot, dice: «El Tarot es un juego de cartas, pero de ninguna manera sencillo: es un instrumento creado por super-mentes misteriosas, una verdadera enciclopedia de símbolos, al mismo tiempo que un profundo estudio del espíritu humano. Es un juego que, viniendo del año mil o antes, es un precursor del psicoanálisis… El Tarot es un test proyectivo, lo que quiere decir que los Arcanos tienen mil y una manera de ser interpretados, no son esto o lo otro, sino esto y lo otro y todo lo demás. Vemos en ellos lo que en ese momento somos. El ser humano se proyecta en cualquier cosa. No hay que engañarse: todas las herramientas para detectar problemas en los que estamos sumidos provocan gamas de proyecciones subjetivas, tanto del consultante como del terapeuta. Es indispensable eludir la idea que estos elementos de apariencia mágica, contienen una verdad determinada: deben ser manipulados con arte. Cada bloque contiene las cartas indicadas.

Neuro-linguistic programming Not to be confused with Natural language processing (also NLP) Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) is an approach to communication, personal development, and psychotherapy created by Richard Bandler and John Grinder in California, United States in the 1970s. Its creators claim a connection between the neurological processes ("neuro"), language ("linguistic") and behavioral patterns learned through experience ("programming") and that these can be changed to achieve specific goals in life.[1][2] Bandler and Grinder claim that the skills of exceptional people can be "modeled" using NLP methodology, then those skills can be acquired by anyone.[3][4][5][6][7] Bandler and Grinder also claim that NLP can treat problems such as phobias, depression, habit disorder, psychosomatic illnesses, myopia,[8] allergy, common cold,[9] and learning disorders, often in a single session.[10][11][12][13] NLP has been adopted by some hypnotherapists and in seminars marketed to business and government.[14][15]

John Huston Huston was known to direct with the vision of an artist, having studied and worked as a fine art painter in Paris in his early years. He continued to explore the visual aspects of his films throughout his career: sketching each scene on paper beforehand, then carefully framing his characters during the shooting[citation needed]. While most directors rely on post-production editing to shape their final work, Huston instead created his films while they were being shot, making them both more economical and cerebral, with little editing needed[citation needed]. Before becoming a Hollywood filmmaker, he had been an amateur boxer, reporter, short-story writer, portrait artist in Paris, a cavalry rider in Mexico, and a documentary filmmaker during World War II. Early life[edit] John Huston was born on August 5, 1906, in Nevada, Missouri. Huston's parents divorced in 1913, when he was 6, and as a result much of his childhood was spent living in boarding schools. Early career as writer[edit]
Walter Hill (director) Hill said in an interview that "every film I've done has been a Western", and elaborated in another that "the Western is ultimately a stripped down moral universe that is, whatever the dramatic problems are, beyond the normal avenues of social control and social alleviation of the problem, and I like to do that even within contemporary stories".[1] Hill was born in Long Beach, California, the younger of two sons. His paternal grandfather was a wildcat oil driller; his father worked at Douglas Aircraft as a supervisor on the assembly line.[2] Hill said that his father and grandfather were "smart, physical men who worked with their heads and their hands" and had "great mechanical ability".[3] Hill's family had originally come from Tennessee and Mississippi, "one of those fallen Southern families, shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves in three generations".[4] Growing up in southern California, Hill was asthmatic as a child and, as a result, missed several years of school.[3]
