Oncor-t (King Salmon) Homeopathic Movie Database

[Roger]

I am hoping with your help to create a database of movies that epitomize various remedies. Here is a synopsis of
Limbo, Directed by John Sayles, 1999 (Oncor-t, King Salmon)
I am giving scenes and the aspects of Oncor-t that the scenes develop well
Opening credits begin with sceens of salmon swimming in schools upstream

Then there is a tv serial monolog about men going to sea, with scenes of salmon fishing and a salmon cannery in an Alaskan town where the movie is initially set.

The characters in this movie seem compelled to tell the truth, no bullshit. The few times that characters lie or are reticent really stand out against this background.
(truth)

It transitions to a cannery worker giving a sarcastic monolog which is anxious about the future of their work & pay but he cuts through the bullshit of their situation

Next a scene at a wedding where the singer, Donna, announces she is leaving the band and tells the truth about her breakup with a member of the band. “Life with you has become a living hell…better off without you in my life”

Next scene of a couple angrily arguing and pulling no punches.

Singer in a hurry to leave the wedding or she is going to lose her “shit”

Singer & her daughter, Noelle, appear in despair about their situation where they keep moving, and Donna is going from man to man. No stable home. Daughter & Singer have been moving over and over and no place is the home they want.
Desire to go home, homesickness. This is one of the strongest themes of Ocor-t
Despair, seeking Home

Daughter empathizes with fish out of water, wonders how it feels to drown. Later she puts a scissors up to her face like she might cut herself.
Suicidal/self-injuring thoughts, animal consciousness

Singer shows silent grief as she works out at the gym
silent grief

“Chaotic” cuts between 6 or 7 different conversations happening simultaneously in a bar. One conversation is a tour guide talking about the history of the place.
{This is a brilliant way to represent the idea of "timeless and in the present” which is an aspect of Oncor-t}

One conversation is about a guide who takes people to stay outdoors. (desire outdoors)

Frequent musical breaks in the movie where mother sings.
Desire music

Singer has apparently had many many partners
Libertinism.
Quick to jump into a relationship with a new lover (lovesick??)

singer has been to 34 states in her travels
traveling
If she takes a straight job feels defeated (feels like a failure)

Joe Gastineau, a carpenter, that the singer is attracted to, seems to lack self-confidence. He is the only one that is really reticent about telling his truth. He doesn’t lie, though.
Confidence lacking

Singer & Joe have a discussion of how the salmon stop eating during their migration & and her daughter also stopped eating
appetite wanting

Discussion in the bar about how many ways you can die fishing on the ocean. They tell the story of how Joe swam away from his boat when it sank 20 years ago; everyone else on it died. Its the reason he is afraid to go fishing now and lacking self-confidence.
mind fear

But Joe does finally take a borrowed boat out to go Salmon fishing, where he has a good catch and returns safely.

daughter is seen cutting herself on her arm; In another conversation it is remarked how salmon “beat themselves” up while they relentlessly go up stream.
(self-mutilation - possible rubric for this remedy??)

businessmen discussing how to turn alaska outdoors into a theme park.
Outdoors, desire countryside

bar discussion of how people get depressed and commit suicide in the off season.
suicidal

Daughter tells her creative writing class story of a human blue baby born with gills.

Singer talks about her rebellious daughter. Joe comments that she is “independent”
Independence. Rebellious.

The singer, daughter and Joe take the boat out with his brother to visit the wilderness.
Wilderness desires.

Brother unknown to them, has done a bad drug deal. They are attacked by the dealers and have to jump into the water and swim to shore while being shot at.
recapitulates the chase of salmon upstream avoiding those trying to kill them.

Joe tells them to climb the mountain to escape
escape attempts, countryside desire - mountains

They are caught stranded on the island in limbo, in the wilderness, trying to get home.
Homesickness, desire to go home

Joe has a Dream sequence of swimming in the ocean to find his family which he fails to do. Wakes up from the dream anxious,.
Anxiety on waking.

Singer has positiveness that they will be rescued.
Positivity

Every night around the camp fire the daughter reads aloud from the diary she found of a girl who lived on this island in the past. The girl’s family experienced a very similar isolation and privation.
Another way to represent "Timeless and In the Present”

It is revealed that the daughter & singer were completely abandoned by the daughter’s father.
(forsaken)

When an airplane arrives at the end we dont know if they will be rescued or killed.

They are stranded in limbo wanting to go home, a major theme of the Oncor-t (King Salmon) remedy.
