What do you want?


Noah: Would you do something for me? Please? Would you just picture your life for me? 30 years from now...? 40 years from now...? What does it look like?..... but don't you take the easy way out!!!
Allie: What easy way? There is no easy way!. No matter what I do, somebody gets hurt!
Noah: Would you stop thinking about what everyone wants? Stop thinking about what I want.... what he wants... what your parents want.... What do you want?.... WHAT DO YOU WANT?
Allie: It's not that simple.
Noah: What do you want? DAMN IT!!! WHAT DO YOU WANT??
Allie: I have to go.

The Notebook
[Dir.: Nick Cassavetes]
[2004]

La fantasía y el deseo..... Manos de locura a la cabeza..... La locura de todo lo que queda por hacer.

However, the thing to add at once is that the desire staged in fantasy is not the subject's own, but the other's desire, the desire of those around me with whom I interact: fantasy, the phantasmatic scene or scenario, is an answer to: 'You're saying this, but what is it that you actually want by saying it?' The original question of desire is not directly 'What do I want?', but 'What do others want from me? What do they see in me? What am I for those others?'
