Anyway, it disturbed the contrast of "no emotion" vs. "emotion," but it was a really hypocritical society. Maybe feelings like smugness and gratification after killing "sense offenders" weren't acknowledged as "emotion," because these things were "good" in the society, just like the "national spirit" was "good." Which was of course rather ironic, since what they had really done was obliterate everything actually "good" to get rid of violence and war, while retaining a sort of psychopathic (faintly emotional) appreciation for violence on a smaller scale. But that of course was the entire point; that it wasn't any better and in fact was worse.
Interesting thoughts.

Hmm. What exactly indicates his Si ego to you? I've only seen the movie once, but I'll watch it again and take notes. One of the things that made me think Ni though was the reason he gave for pushing Becca away: "This isn't right... this isn't how I imagined it would be." There's more, but that's the only thing I remember.
That's interesting - I didn't take note of that before. I just saw how he didn't like being pulled into all of Seth's many endeavours; I saw it as a Si valuing retraction from Se. Like when he says "l've just sat around wasting all my time with you. And now I'm going to college a fucking friendless virgin". However, you could be right. This could be a Ni valuer becoming independent from Se pursuits. Also, he talks about time rather than sensory stuff. Okay, maybe IEI is more realistic. :)
