The irony about this movie is it exemplifies the way Stutz' therapy is meant to be practiced-imperfectly, but constantly moving forward.
The other ironic part about Stutz is he spent so much of his life trying to figure out the roadmap paved with tools for other people to use, he didn't stop to use them on himself, and did what so many others do which is turn to comedy to detract and emotionally procrastinate. He is so good at developing his craft, so much so the terms and ideas sounded like he had a script or a teleprompter, but in at his 50+ years of evaluating the system, he rarely if ever used it on himself; it took Jonah Hill making this movie to get him to actually make real changes in his own life and relationships.
Lastly, did you get the feeling when he was lying down on the bed, and Jonah asked him to articulate whether he could see his brother, Stutz responded that he wasn't young, "he is more like your age," what he was really trying to say was he saw Jonah as what his brother would be like all grown up. This really became clear to me in the last few scenes when he told Jonah in an unsolicited manner that he loved him, again using the 'world of the suns' tool and emanated love.
A really well made documentary because it wasn't well made; it was actually documenting the raw journey by constantly moving forward. And I'll never look at Jonah Hill the same again-really became a person and not a caricature for me.
