*** Given that this is an unreliable narrator type work, all of this is fascinating, and a good point to be raised!Įdit: added a comma. One thing notable, is 'Sybil' was apparently first being treated for social anxiety, as Elliot self-identifies in the first episode. i'm being lazy today and this sub is flooded with theories) (note: I could link a LOT more about this sort of stuff related to DID studies, correlations et al, but not gonna. Nathan claims Schreiber became aware of Mason and her alleged past, writing Sybil based on stories coaxed from her during therapy, and that this case created an 'industry' of repressed memory. This might interest you or others who are interested in this. I'm not talking about anything severe (or even abusive, just more about protocols and I'm not an expert) and in S4 she seems fine, but something has always been 'off' with her for whatever is up with him IF everything is as we are seeing it (which I doubt we are). IMO with Mr Robot/Elliot in session, Krista may have been, unprofessional at times with Elliot. (FD: my focus at uni was cognitive psych, I don't have a lot of experience with personality stuff or therapy except as an interest/reading/etc)Ī lot of older stuff like this includes forms of therapy and questioning that are now considered inappropriate or unprofessional by some. We covered the Sybil story in intro psych. Now I feel ready to stop digging and just sit back and watch the remaining episodes and just enjoy the brilliance of it all. Could Krista be our heroine? Will she ultimately save Elliot? But as we near the ending.in both these movies a psyciatrist ultimately helps these characters bring forth their childhood trauma and set them on the path to becoming whole again. So I'm not really saying anything new here theory wise. One of the Eves is named 'White Eve'by the way! Hmmm White Rose just another personality of Elliot that hacks his time. In one scene there is a clock on her nightstand and the time is 11:16! And she punches out her bedroom window which leads to her meeting the psychologist.Īnother even older movie about DiD that I have not seen is The Three Face of Eve. She always looked at her watch to know when the other personalities took over (hacked time from her) and she blacked out. I remembered the abuse and the personalities coming out, what i didn't remember was her obsession with TIME. So I tried to go back and watch the movie but could only find clips. (Also side note-Rami Malek will probably be this generation's Sally Field, acting geniuses). Elliot feels very similar to Sybil to me. Anyways we know Sam Email has drawn inspiration/adds Easter eggs from a number of films. I also remember it being used as an insult, if you acted out of character someone might say call you Sybil. I remember how much of an impact this movie had and how controversial the concept of DiD was in the media at the time. In the movie Sybil suffered serious abuse as a child, which caused her to suffer from, back then what was called multiple personality disorder. (I was only 4 when it originally aired so probably saw it on reruns or something but who knows).

Then I remembered when I was little watching Sybil starring Sally Field and how unsettling that movie was. There was something nagging me, something subtlely familiar and distribing about Elliot that I could not quite put my finger on. I'm probably older than most people in this group so maybe that's way it's not referenced much.
