Žižek accomplished an outstanding achievement not only in the field of film criticism but also in the domain of Lacanian psychoanalysis when he wrote Looking Awry which popularized psychoanalytic film criticism in terms of the concept of 'the Real'. Due to his interpretation of the concept in the book, the Real has been related to the dismal abyss, the dreadful black hole or the uncanny Thing that has engulfed every living thing for the past twenty three years. Even though he has moved forward since then and escaped the fear of the Thing via his Hegelian journey of the 'negation of the negation', the readers of Looking Awry are still residing in that dark part of the Real owing to Žižek's earlier interpretation of the concept.This paper thus suggests that it is necessary for us to move beyond the above interpretation of the Real and explore a more positive understanding of the concept in order to utilize the other side of the Real which Jacques Lacan himself distinctly shows in his 23rd seminar of Joyce. In the latter, he even states that one should aim at writing of the ego, which is an act of creating all the connections and relations of one's life anew; a new beginning of life. The Real in this context is not a dismal abyss anymore but a creative ground on which the new Symbolic can be constructed. The main text that can capture this moment of shift of meaning of the Real is The Parallax View which can be referred to as a philosophical version of Looking Awry. A similar notion as a second interpretation of the Real, I would assert, is the Jungian 'myth'. Although psychoanalysis and analytic psychology have been dreadfully divided into two totally different disciplines after Freud and Jung ended their academic relationship in 1913, the Lacanian Real and the Jungian myth share many common characteristics in terms of their non-representability and creativity. The fact that both cannot be subjected to the Symbolic order in particular depicts the bond between these concepts. This paper attempts to make a viable dialogue between psychoanalysis and analytic psychology centering the argument around the concept of the Real. Firstly, this helps formulate a new relationship between psychoanalysis and cinema where the Real can be used to describe the mythical mystery of human life, and secondly to recover a trans-discourse between Freud and Jung by opening wide the closed chapter of their relationship again.
