From Love, through Humour, to Hatred and Loneliness in Pier Paolo Pasolini and Takeshi Kitano’s Films

The purpose of the study was a psychoanalytic study of the feelings of love, humor, hatred and loneliness and an assessment of the influence of these fundamental feelings in this order and relationship on a person’s life and personality. Research hypothesis: from love, through humor, to hatred and loneliness - in such an immanent sequence of these feelings and their interrelation, each person goes through his life path from birth to death; where love and humor are an increase in tension and excitement, that is, displeasure, and hatred and loneliness are a decrease in tension and excitement, that is, pleasure. Thus, the path from displeasure to pleasure. Research objectives: a) Theoretical tasks - the study of feelings of love, humor, hatred and loneliness from the perspective of psychoanalysis, using the concepts of Sigmund Freud, Otto F. Kernberg, Patrick Casement, Donald Winnicott, Jean-Michel Quinaudo, Andre Green, Francoise Dolto, Melanie Klein. b) Empirical tasks - study of the influence of feelings of love, humor, hatred and loneliness on a person’s life and personality using the example of metaphors and the main character of the film “Accattone” by Pier Paolo Pasolini and the main character of the trilogy about lawlessness Takeshi Kitano. In the course of researching the psychoanalytic concepts of Sigmund Freud, Otto F. Kernberg, Patrick Casement, Donald Winnicott, Jean-Michel Quinaudeau, André Greene, Françoise Dolto and Mélanie Klein, confirmation was found of the immanent nature of the feelings of love, humor, hatred and loneliness that make up the essence of man. Based on the rich material collected after watching the films “Accattone” by Pier Paolo Pasolini and the trilogy about the mayhem of Takeshi Kitano, analyzing the main characters of these films using psychoanalytic concepts taken into account, it was concluded that the put forward hypothesis was fully confirmed.
