Psych promoting movie “Obsessed” with Jenna Elfman

My dearest Marty, Captain of my heart,

How are you?

Sun is out, snow sparkles. It’s cold but pretty outside. I have 22000 hits on my blog and wish they  would be by you. Of course I am aware that they don’t allow you Internet access if you are wrongfully in prison, but I sure hope that there is someone who will forward my postings to you.

Marty, I saw the movie “Obsessed” with Jenna Elfman in the lead. First of all, she is a good actress but it just makes one wonder why she accepted that role. The script keeps people watching but the content of the movie was completely pro p$ych. And I asked myself: if Jenna is a real Scientologist, why would she blatantly promote psychiatry in this movie?

Why wouldn’t she rather play in anti-p$ych movies?

The movie was produced by Barbara Lieberman in 2002 and allegedly was inspired by real events. (Looks like p$ych orchestrated events to me. They would love women being obsessed with them, after all, who likes them?) The story that you can feel behind the movie is that psychs and medical doctors WANT women [apparently particularly female Scientologists] to be obsessed with them. That seems one of their dirty fantasies.

I don’t know if you can see that movie, so I tell you briefly what it is about.

There is Elena Roberts (Jenna Elfman) who is being arrested for harassment of a Dr. David Stillman, a neurosurgeon (isn’t that another word for lobotomizer?), and they both tell another side of the story. He (I found him to be completely non-charismatic) says that he never had anything with her, and she says that he lies because he doesn’t want to lose all his possession to his wife, and the watchers of that movie have to figure out who is lying.  This psych and psychiatry in general looks very good at the end of that movie.

Her story is that they met at a medical congress in Boston and that he picked her up, that she was hesitant in the beginning because he was married, that they started a long-term affair, that she tried to break up with him but he didn’t want that but after his wife found out, he broke off with him and she still would love him and that would be misconstrued as harassment.

His story is that he tried to hire her as medical writer or editor and just went out to dinner with her once and that he didn’t hire her after he noticed during the dinner that something was not right with her.

She gets a public defender, Sarah, who defends her pro bono because she knows that rich married men often go after women and then dispose of them, and she wants to help Elena.

In jail, Elena meets a female reporter who was thrown in jail for contempt by the judge because wouldn’t reveal her source in a case. Elena doesn’t make friends with murderers, prostitutes, and drug addicts but she and journalist Charlotte become friends and share a cell. Charlotte tells Elena that she had a similar affair with Mr. Deutsch and the women agree that men are pigs. (Later you learn that Mr. Deutsch [Deutsch means German as you know] never existed and poor Deutsch/German was of course innocent because he never existed.)

Prosecutor Sam tells attorney Sarah in the meantime that Elena never had an affair with that neurosurgeon and that she made it up and is crazy. Sarah doesn’t believe him but starts to investigate Elena’s past.

She finds out that Elena, in addition to writing medical articles worked as a stripper and used the name Claire Stillman, which is the name of the lobotomizer’s wife. The strip club owner tells Sarah that he thinks that Elena (approx. 30) was still a virgin and she didn’t dance or move around like the other stripper women. He showed Sarah a video where Elena sits in sexy lingerie on a chair with glasses on and reads to horny men from a book written by Sigmund Freud. (Actually, this scene is funny because she doesn’t move around a pole but sits just straight on the chair like a librarian and when asked to move around, she tells men to shut up and rather to listen.) She becomes very popular in this joint and men stand in line to hear her read Freud. (Bottom line, it is a blatant promotion of psychiatric theories, Marty.)

That makes Sarah to check a little bit more around, and she finds a woman who knew Elena since she was a kid and that woman says that she was always obsessed with medicine and medical doctors. (I think the original “true event” on which this movie is based was really born in some medical/psych minds, Marty. Some psychiatric case officers radioing a stupid woman agent to make psychs/doctors look more interesting by allegedly stalking them. You could really feel that there are psychs behind that who WANT women being obsessed with medicine, psychiatry, psychs and medical doctors.)

Sarah is angry about that Elena didn’t tell her about her moonlight job, and Elena said that she didn’t think that it would matter because it was really just to pay the rent when she didn’t get enough writing jobs.

Elena refers to her diseased parents as Mr. and Ms. Roberts and had no good relationship with them. There is a scene where she packs her bags and leaves the house and a kind of masculine looking matronly woman (her mother) tries to stop her leaving saying Elena is not ready for the world, but Elena replies that she is 28 years old (sounds familiar too) and that it is time to move out. She has a psychiatric explanation why her parents were weird and abused her.

Sarah manages to get Elena out of jail without having to post bail, and the jury for the trial is selected.

Charlotte is released from prison too and wants to write a story in favor of Elena. She is also in the court room. Most jurors are rejected by Elena and Charlotte who sits right behind Elena and whispers reasons for objections in her ear. They are trying to spot any possible bias against Elena and that is why Sarah goes along with it as she cares for Elena and wants her to have a fair trail.

After the jury selection, Sarah tells Elena to stay away from Dr. Stillman. Elena promises it, and she is free to go for the day but the first thing she does when in the streets is making a phone call to the judge telling him what sexist jerk he is and what his medical problem is. She also pays a visit to prosecutor Sam’s wife, and he finds her chatting with his wife when he comes home.

They throw her back in jail, and Sarah wants to quit the case because Elena doesn’t listen to her but Elena begs her to stay on the case.

A male psych examines Elena in jail. He finds of course a “mental disease” as “Erotomania” because despite being a very attractive woman she never dated much. He says she suffers on a “mental disease” loving somebody who doesn’t love her back. (Really, Marty, it is all pro p$ych in that movie. Interesting is that being romantically obsessed with psychiatrists is no specific mental disorder but being romantically obsessed with others seems to be a “mental disorder” according to the psychs and such disorders have to stop.)

The judge, prosecutor Sam, and Sarah figure that Elena loves doctors but hates men. (Marty, this seem to be the ultimate dream of psychs and doctors, women obsessing over them and not being interested in any other kind of man.) In order to make the case go smooth, the judge gets the idea to make the court room all female. Female judge, female prosecutor, female bailiff, female court reporter, and Elena seems quite happy with that arrangement.

Claire Stillman, the wife of the lobotomizer confesses to her husband that when she found out about Elena, she followed her for months anywhere and turned into a stalker herself but she did it for love to her psych husband. (The bottom line of this movie makes your stomach turn, Marty, because it shows the hidden desire of psychs wanting to be loved by all women who see no men but  them!)

During the trial it turns out that Elena also wrote letters to psych Stillman and his wife and posed as psychiatrist Olivia Reece telling them in psychiatric terms what’s wrong with how Claire raises her kids and that Elena bombarded the clinic of Dr. Stillman with up to 100 calls a day wanting to talk to him. She also got somehow in his apartment and stole a bracelet of his wife that looked like handcuffs. Strange gift that the Dr. Lobotomy gave to his wife. But this never becomes an issue in the movie.

Despite Sarah can successfully establish in court that Elena has never threatened anyone and never harmed anyone physically she is sent to prison but gets only 2 years. Elena doesn’t understand why the jury sent her to prison because she didn’t consider anything she did that horrible and she asks Sarah not to leave her because she would be her only friend. She doesn’t want to be locked up with criminal women.

In a bus, Elena is transported to a prison. She is crushed but then she hears Charlotte’s voice in the back of the bus, telling her that her judge slapped her again with contempt and that she will be in the same prison. The women cheer up and make plans to write a book in jail together and hope to be cell mates.

The prison guard next to the bus driver turns around to see how Elena is doing in the back of the bus and he ask the driver: who is she talking to? They see that nobody is in the bus but Elena and she is talking to herself. There is no such a person as Charlotte. She is some kind of imaginary dark haired version of Elena herself. (Poor Mr. Deutsch/German was defamed by Elena’s crazy mind… You get the idea.)

Before Elena is assigned to her prison cell, she is checked out by a male prison doctor/psych. Imaginary Charlotte is right there with Elena and whispers in her ear: He thinks you’re hot! And Elena’s obsession jumps from Stillman to this prison doctor, and she talks and flirts happily with him in prison.

The message of the movie was: doctors, psychiatrists, and neurosurgeon are the most noble, smartest, irresistible, attractive, honest, decent, adorable, sexiest, and desirable men on the planet. Nobody can measure up with them. Dr. Stillman was the stalking victim of a crazy woman and there was no proof that he ever had anything with her. His own wife found him so desirable that she turned into a stalker too trying to avoid losing him to another woman. The court appointed psych was of course completely correct that Jenna Elfman aka Elena Roberts suffered on the “mental illness” that he diagnosed. Psychiatry is so interesting that horny men want rather to listed to Freud’s books read out to them in strip clubs rather than seeing dancing. And if a woman can’t have a specific p$ych, there is always a new psych or doc they can be obsessed with – even in prison because no men are more interesting as these timetrack barbers and butchers.

I saw other psych promoting movies but as of my knowledge these were produced without any Scientologist participating. This was probably the most recent pro p$ych movie that I have seen. Giving the lead role to a so-called Scientologist shows once again how badly p$ychs want Scientologists to accept and adore them.

How could Jenna Elfman not see how p$ych promoting this movie is?

I love you, Marty, and I am fully aware how p$ychs are trying to give our real and sane relationship a crazy touch. But frankly, we don’t give a damn what crazy psychs are saying.

Yours forever

Sarah/Barbara
