A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge

Jack Sholder

1985

A teenage boy discovers he's the latest victim of Freddy Krueger, but instead of seeking help, he decides to fight the demon within himself and make it his own personal mission to save his friends - because that's a perfectly normal and healthy response to a supernatural threat.

Guess the perspective of the following positive and negative comments provided by AI.

Answer at bottom!

+ This sequel is the perfect embodiment of the Freudian notion of the "return of the repressed" with its vivid portrayal of the protagonist's subconscious conflicts and the brilliant use of symbolism and subtext throughout the film.

- I am appalled by the unrealistic portrayal of mental health issues and the dangerous ideas perpetuated by this film.

Now some haikus and midjourney art…

Fight against instinct

Destroying inside yourself

Vulnerable man

Cheap houses go wrong

Spirit tries to take body

Dreams come back to life

Blur reality

Dream logic lost torn apart

Ruling in between

How do you see me

A boy or sweatered killer

Am I him or me

Unreal twist of life

Nose down, lost my way again

The path lied to me

Strange mystery force

Not subtle, follow along

Preach open to love

Nine Points of View

The Optimist

It’s okay… different but not totally irredeemable.

The Mystic

Hiding your true self will eat up the insides. Your insides.

The Hyperbolist

Greatest Meryl Streep as Child impersonator ever!

The Dualist

OK movie, the background of this movie adds a lot of context and flavor so worth the investigation.

The Trickster

You remember dream logic? Well screw that jazz, this is nightmare logic so don’t even try to keep up.

The Skeptic

What is his relation to the rich chick? How do they know each other to the point he is driving her to school in the morning? And it’s his first week in the town.

The Rationalist

This dude has a lot going on for someone who just moved to town.

The Empath

Bad dad was bad.

The Overthinker

Overtly subtextual. A man struggles with his homosexual feelings and the victimization he feels within his culture and fighting his own urges.
