                      Point Break is clearly anti-authotarian and health seeking.

                              Can we settle on a definition of bioenergetic when it comes to entertainment? I do love David Lynch, but his stuff is so vivid and disturbing that it hardly fits my bill. On the other hand, melancholy films such as Tarkovksy's have problems of their own.

                              Should a bioenergetic film mess up your sleep or cause you to have weird dreams? Should it drain you, make you feel gloomy or instigate feelings of helplessness? If not, what films can be rewarding (dopamine-ergic) or relaxing (GABA-ergic) without falling into the pit of sunday comedy/superficial feel-good flick?

                              For the sake of example: I love sci-fi, but this new version of Dune caused me such anxious feelings I hesitate if I'll watch the second part. Interception, while it also has a stress-inducing soundtrack by Hans Zimmer, somehow is less overpowering and managed to restore my mood in the end.

                                  @Ivy Beatiful, calm, and stimulating should be the criteria for bioenergetic films. Terrence Malick is certainly on the mark. Parts of Lord of The Rings fits as well, although a closer interpratation of the books would be calmer than the action inspired version we got on the big screen.

                                      @Ivy I think one important aspect is that it portrays something of moral value. It might be sad/gloomy/horrific, but if the struggle is towards something of greater moral value, it can still be a "uplifting" movie, even if it ends in catastrophe. The opposite is also true, a movie can be superficially "dopaminergic" or whatever but pushing moral degeneracy.

                                      Most recent thing I watched was the first season of The Terror which was pretty good. Kind of slow in the beginning but good character development. Started watching season 2 (stand-alone) but was very disappointed.

                                        @Jonk Thanks for adding to the discussion. I'm not sure I can fully agree with your argument, you know? I want to, but I can complicate things with a movie such as The Fountainhed, by King Vidor. For many people, the underlying "philosophy" is repulsive. But Gary Cooper is a powerhouse, which somehow electrifies and absolves his character. I love this movie, no matter who wrote it.

                                          @Ivy Haven't watched it, but just from the synopsis it sounds like it conforms to my thesis. "An uncompromising, visionary architect struggles to maintain his integrity and individualism despite personal, professional and economic pressures to conform to popular standards." The character doesn't need to be of moral upstanding but the struggle needs to be towards something good, true or beautiful. So maybe moral value is too limited, but it cant anyway just be the pursuit of money, power, status or whatever, even if that's a part of the storyline. Maybe I shouldn't comment on it since I haven't seen it but oh well
