After all, she is her father's daughter..." The MOTI is not the Id. The MOTI is the product of what the Krell Machine does WITH the Id. According to the Freudian model, everyone has an Id. Without the Krell Machine, these can be no MOTI. Do your homework, Dan. Otherwise, good writing. It’s obvious that Dan Schneider doesn’t understand the main principle of the ‘Monster From The Id’ when he states in his review:

“It’s worth knowing that, despite Forbidden Planet’s ‘happy ending,’ there is the possibility that the MOTI is still dormant within Alta, as well. After all, she is her father’s daughter…”

The MOTI is not the Id. The MOTI is the product of what the Krell Machine does WITH the Id.

According to the Freudian model, everyone has an Id.
Without the Krell Machine, these can be no MOTI.

Do your homework, Dan. Otherwise, good writing.
