Your assignment is to prepare and submit a paper on an absence of expectations about dr. johnson’s normal life. There are only a few scenes involving session. Therapy sessions involved the therapist played by Liv Tyler and Fineman played by Sandler. However, a trained observer will have a host of clinical observations about Fineman throughout the movie, and consequently, there are multiple clinical observations. Dr Fineman used to live in a large settlement with his wife and three daughters. He left it and his established dental practice and embraced a lonely world of his own, drifting away from the regular and boring life of similar dentists such as his roommate Dr Johnson. He now wanders alone in his scooter on the roads of the city and has been noticed by his close friend, a dentist, and old college roommate Dr Johnson. This all occurred to him following the 9/11 catastrophe to his family. Initially, he fails to recognize his friend but after a few encounters, the old memories re-emerge, and he was able to recognize his friend. He has regressed to a state of denial, where he keeps himself busy with many other things other than dentistry, which are old Mel Brooks movies late night, video games, music, and musical instruments. He gets so excited about the memories of his family that he avoids social contacts which haunt him to remember his past days get back there like all others, and this was perhaps one of the reasons that he allowed Dr Johnson, his former roommate to come closer. He was seeing Dr Johnson about 15 years after their college days, and Dr Johnson never knew his wife and children since they lost touch early on.
