freudian slip

i am just rewriting the analysis of one of the last scenes of Minority Report where Lamar kills himself. here’s what i just wrote:

Anderton gegenüber wirkt er wie eine fürsorgliche Vaterfigur und man könnte sagen, dass Lamar für ihn die Funktion eines Ich-Ideals hat. Doch der Schein trügt: Lacan ist der üble Drahtzieher…

a short summary for my non-german speaking readers: i am talking about how Lamar is like a father-figure – or in psychoanalytical terms an Ego-Ideal – for Anderton, the protagonist of Minority Report played by Tom Cruise. this is a deception because in reality Lamar is a bad guy… and well, apparently not Lamar but Lacan has become a bad guy for me… lol
