Every single one of them. Literally every philosophical or literary work is a product of the author's psychological issues.

I wonder why that is? The most disturbed individuals always tend to construct the most ground-breaking work.

no for real if you want a pound biopic and you want people to pervert his message so they can make a quick buck off of it then you've misunderstood or disregarded his writings to such a degree that you can't even call yourself a fan of his work

i'm sure all those media geek chucklefucks like doing this film daydreaming shit on /tv/ but you need to actually give a fuck about the source on this board you stupid manchild

If you're talking about artistic quality & devotion to beauty & meaning & all that shit, I suppose I would say that my hypothetical movie has all that and is a serious artistic undertaking. I don't know where this stuff about Hollywood and making a quick buck came in. I just said make a movie, I didn't say anything about how it has to be a cash-in.

If you're talking about his message of "fuck the Jews, fuck the Federal Reserve", I don't think that's an essential part of his message and I wouldn't need to see it translated.
