A fun exercise is running up and down the pyramid figuring out which of a character's needs are being fulfilled by his current acts and which are being undermined. It can be the same need at that. . .
"Self-actualization" is a bad name, a psychologist's name, for vocation. So when a prince risks his life because it is his duty as a prince and also it's the only way to safety and because it will impress his future subjects, he's risking survival, love and belonging (because his advisors and servants think he's mad), and esteem (because failure will look real bad) in order to fulfill his need for survival, safety, love and belonging (because he's working for his subjects' good), esteem (because success will look real good), and vocation (because a prince must help his kingdom even if it's preserving its heir, himself).
The toilet seat hanging in the cabin near the stove that you carried to the outhouse with you, a warm seat to sit on. Homemade Styrofoam outhouse seats. Friends up on Chena Ridge, a delightfully warm mink seat which they always brought in to the cabin and hid when they had a party with heavily drinking guests. Blazo can indoor toilets, whose turn is it to empty?
I almost never bother with movies. They rarely live up to the books they are allegedly based on. The Conan books are a satisfying read. If I have read the book first the movie fails. If I watch the movie first it taints the mental pictures the book produces for me. Oddly illustrations don't have that same effect.
I think one of the drivers for Gone With the Wind that is underappreciated is that it's also an apocalypse story.

Yeah, Conan was definitely a movie in which the suspension of disbelief (and even putting one's brain in a total state of numbness) was required.
"... years of outhouses at sixty below zero."
Memories, grin.
