“Gimme Shelter” is a movie based on a true story who the main character is a pregnant teenage girl name Apple who goes through a long rough journey with ups and downs. Many epic events happened in the movie that all lead to connection at last. The pschy that I best believe appears in the movie is the Id and at last the superego because Apple goes from knowing  the basic instinctual to knowing whats best for her at last. She’s had a rough life with unfortunate struggles by being abused, molested, to being in the system. Apple doesn’t like the system because she knows she’s under age and her mother who she is the reason she runs away will try so hard to get the system to find her and get her back, so she can get welfare money. This is what makes her do bad without thinking about the consequences. What she most needed was shelter and support.

 

Apple runs away from her mom who abuses and  keeps her just  because of  the welfare money that she receives. Apple runs away from her moms home in search for her father who she never met, but had saved a letter she once received when she was a baby. Id appears here because Apple believes that running away is the best way to deal with her problems. Apple finds her fathers home and finds out he is a wealthy guy with a after  wife and two other children which he has had after breaking up with Apples mom. He takes her in and gives her a room to stay. But was kicked when she fainted and was taken to the hospital. That’s when her fathers wife found out she was pregnant and made her husband kick her daughter out. I believe Apples father  and his wife where the unconscious because they didn’t try to accessed the fact that Apple is having a baby and needs shelter because there’s  days where she would sleep on the streets. Apple is back on the streets trying to get somewhere. She is walking and is approached by a random dude/pimp in a big car and was called to get in. She listens and get s in and at some point the driver does something that distracts him and Apple takes him out of the car and she take over the wheel and ends up crashing. I think the Id took over her here because she just knows she wants to to get hold of the car so she can leave it she doesn’t really think about the consequences she can put herself and the baby in. Apple is then taken into a hospital where she wakes up seeing a chaplain. The Chaplain tries to give her advise and she tries to not want it. I think she is the unconscious because she’s upset with life that she thinks there’s nothing she can do, but the catholic which give her help and take her into a teenage all pregnant women home where try to be positive and be a family as a a whole. Apple is she at first and just tries to be shut alone in her room. I think she experences repression so she tries to avoid everything that’s going on by shuting herself out the rest.

Apple begins to talk and be more open with the others girls. They treat each other as family by helping each other and celebrating holidays together. She ends up having he baby and names her hope. Her dad comes over asking for forgiveness and tells her to go live with him. She leaves with him and sees that they had decorated the baby’s room in his house. But she is sad because she has been with up and downs and has created a family and home in the catholic teenage pregnant home that she is sad she cannot leave because it has become part of her. I think the super ego kicks in because she begins to find herself and where she feels she truly belongs even though her dad has given her the opportunity to go to his house whenever she wants. She begins to be positive and conscience with herself and surroundings.
