Before we start the movie review, here's a brief lesson in human psychology. Erik Erikson proposed a theory of psychosocial development, where each stage of our life corresponds with different conflicts that we strive to resolve. When we are infants, for instance, our conflict is very basic: Trust Vs. Mistrust. In this stage, we learn whether or not our caregivers will be there for us to meet our needs...can "the world" be trusted, or not? In the last/final stage of his theory, which occurs in our twilight years (65+), Erikson proposed we go through "Integrity Vs. Despair." In this stage, one strives to figure out if they have led a fruitful, meaningful life (or "despair" sets in if that person has not).
