Abstract
This article analyzes the character of John Brennan from the movie The Next Three Days (2010) using Carl Jung’s theory of psychological types and insights from scholars such as Marie-Louise von Franz, John Beebe, and Lenore Thomson. It focuses on four key functions—Introverted Intuition (Ni), Extraverted Thinking (Te), Introverted Feeling (Fi), and Extraverted Sensing (Se)—and uses both script-based and theoretical analysis to explain how these functions appear in John's actions, decisions, and personality. The integration of expanded Jungian perspectives deepens the understanding of Brennan as a quiet but deeply driven and visionary character.
