** Ego: Lawrence. A quiet, calculating man who only acts before careful planning and consideration. Freud believed the ego was the conscious manifestation of a man, or the part of him that we see (just as Lawrence is the face and title of the eponymous film), and that the ego was constantly trying to balance the desires of the basal, instinctive id and the moralistic superego, just as Lawrence takes his battle advice from his two commanders, Auda and Ali. The scene before [[spoiler:the Arab Army massacre a band of Turks on their way to take Damascus before the British]] is as close to a literal interpretation of the role Freud believed the ego played as you can get: Auda (id) and Ali (superego) lean over his shoulders, shouting commands of what they think should be done about the Turks on the horizon [[RapePillageandBurn (who have themselves just departed from burning down a village that the Arabs have ridden into, and slaughtering its inhabitants)]] in his ears, leaving him to choose. Ali's advice? "Damascus, Aurens [what the Bedouin called Lawrence]. Think of Damascus". His advice is to stick to the plan and not take lives for revenge. Very moralistic. Auda's advice? After a soldier in Lawrence's cavalry rides toward the Turks in defiance of Lawrence's command to wait as he deliberates, Lawrence starts to ride off to stop him, but then Auda interrupts: "No, Aurens. Let him. This was his village." [[spoiler:Lawrence listens to Auda.]]
** Id: Auda Abu Tayi. A battle-hardened warrior who readily switches sides to join Lawrence when offered a greater sum of loot for his labors. He is prone to outbursts of rage, furiously smashing the camera of a photographer who attempts to take his picture (he believes cameras 'steal his soul'), and is extremely self-centered, only embarking with Lawrence on his campaigns to destroy the Turkish railways through Arabia so he can plunder the loot on the trains. You can see how highly he views himself during his BadassBoast to Lawrence and Ali (even if it is completely justified; he proves himself a badass several times later in the film) when they offer for him to join them.
** Superego: Sherif Ali. Proud, intelligent, and always thinking of what is best for the greater good. He shows rabid opposition when Lawrence leaves the party crossing the Nefud to storm Aqaba to rescue Gazim, as the saving of one man, in this case Gazim, might mean the destruction of their entire party and any resistance to the Turks. He is a Sherif of the Harith tribe, and is thus a guardian to his people [i]and its ideals[/i], just as the superego concept is all about ideals. He is the most meditative character in the film, and concerns himself so much with matters of ideals and what is right that after his land is freed from the Turks, he hopes to become a politician in [[BigGood Faisal's]] new kingdom.

''Film/{{Lawrence of Arabia}}'':
* Ego: Lawrence. A quiet, calculating man who only acts before careful planning and consideration. Freud believed the ego was the conscious manifestation of a man, or the part of him that we see (just as Lawrence is the face and title of the eponymous film), and that the ego was constantly trying to balance the desires of the basal, instinctive id and the moralistic superego, just as Lawrence takes his battle advice from his two commanders, Auda and Ali. The scene before [[spoiler:the Arab Army massacre a band of Turks on their way to take Damascus before the British]] is as close to a literal interpretation of the role Freud believed the ego played as you can get: Auda (id) and Ali (superego) lean over his shoulders, shouting commands of what they think should be done about the Turks on the horizon [[RapePillageandBurn (who have themselves just departed from burning down a village that the Arabs have ridden into, and slaughtering its inhabitants)]] in his ears, leaving him to choose. Ali's advice? "Damascus, Aurens [what the Bedouin called Lawrence]. Think of Damascus". His advice is to stick to the plan and not take lives for revenge. Very moralistic. Auda's advice? After a soldier in Lawrence's cavalry rides toward the Turks in defiance of Lawrence's command to wait as he deliberates, Lawrence starts to ride off to stop him, but then Auda interrupts: "No, Aurens. Let him. This was his village." [[spoiler:Lawrence listens to Auda.]]
* Id: Auda Abu Tayi. A battle-hardened warrior who readily switches sides to join Lawrence when offered a greater sum of loot for his labors. He is prone to outbursts of rage, furiously smashing the camera of a photographer who attempts to take his picture (he believes cameras 'steal his soul'), and is extremely self-centered, only embarking with Lawrence on his campaigns to destroy the Turkish railways through Arabia so he can plunder the loot on the trains. You can see how highly he views himself during his BadassBoast to Lawrence and Ali (even if it is completely justified; he proves himself a badass several times later in the film) when they offer for him to join them.
* Superego: Sherif Ali. Proud, intelligent, and always thinking of what is best for the greater good. He shows rabid opposition when Lawrence leaves the party crossing the Nefud to storm Aqaba to rescue Gazim, as the saving of one man, in this case Gazim, might mean the destruction of their entire party and any resistance to the Turks. He is a Sherif of the Harith tribe, and is thus a guardian to his people [i]and its ideals[/i], just as the superego concept is all about ideals.

''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda''
* ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda'':
**
Franchise-wise, the three existing films form a Freudian Trio based on the sides of kung fu they cover:
** *** Id: ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda'' - -- the first film covers the physical side of kung fu, demonstrating the basic understanding of what it involves.
** *** Superego: ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda2'' - -- the second film covers the mental side, discussing how to let your mind be at piece while keeping your actions in control.
** *** Ego: ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda3'' - -- the third film covers the spiritual side, with the message about developing yourself into your best you.
* ** Correspondingly, the main villains of each film that Po faces also form one:
** *** Id: Tai Lung - -- the hot-tempered ArrogantKungFuGuy bent on seeking revenge on those he feels have done him wrong.
** *** Superego: Lord Shen - -- the cold and devious mastermind lord of Gongmen City with a desire to conquer China and eliminate kung fu with his slew of cannons.
** *** Ego: Kai - -- the spirit warrior who wants to destroy Oogway's memory by stealing the chi from every kung fu master and demolishing the Jade Palace, who doesn't really rely on either strength or intelligence and mostly uses his supernatural powers when confronting his opponents.

* ''Film/{{Lawrence of Arabia}}'':
* ** Ego: Lawrence. A quiet, calculating man who only acts before careful planning and consideration. Freud believed the ego was the conscious manifestation of a man, or the part of him that we see (just as Lawrence is the face and title of the eponymous film), and that the ego was constantly trying to balance the desires of the basal, instinctive id and the moralistic superego, just as Lawrence takes his battle advice from his two commanders, Auda and Ali. The scene before [[spoiler:the Arab Army massacre a band of Turks on their way to take Damascus before the British]] is as close to a literal interpretation of the role Freud believed the ego played as you can get: Auda (id) and Ali (superego) lean over his shoulders, shouting commands of what they think should be done about the Turks on the horizon [[RapePillageandBurn (who have themselves just departed from burning down a village that the Arabs have ridden into, and slaughtering its inhabitants)]] in his ears, leaving him to choose. Ali's advice? "Damascus, Aurens [what the Bedouin called Lawrence]. Think of Damascus". His advice is to stick to the plan and not take lives for revenge. Very moralistic. Auda's advice? After a soldier in Lawrence's cavalry rides toward the Turks in defiance of Lawrence's command to wait as he deliberates, Lawrence starts to ride off to stop him, but then Auda interrupts: "No, Aurens. Let him. This was his village." [[spoiler:Lawrence listens to Auda.]]
* ** Id: Auda Abu Tayi. A battle-hardened warrior who readily switches sides to join Lawrence when offered a greater sum of loot for his labors. He is prone to outbursts of rage, furiously smashing the camera of a photographer who attempts to take his picture (he believes cameras 'steal his soul'), and is extremely self-centered, only embarking with Lawrence on his campaigns to destroy the Turkish railways through Arabia so he can plunder the loot on the trains. You can see how highly he views himself during his BadassBoast to Lawrence and Ali (even if it is completely justified; he proves himself a badass several times later in the film) when they offer for him to join them.
* ** Superego: Sherif Ali. Proud, intelligent, and always thinking of what is best for the greater good. He shows rabid opposition when Lawrence leaves the party crossing the Nefud to storm Aqaba to rescue Gazim, as the saving of one man, in this case Gazim, might mean the destruction of their entire party and any resistance to the Turks. He is a Sherif of the Harith tribe, and is thus a guardian to his people [i]and its ideals[/i], just as the superego concept is all about ideals. He is the most meditative character in the film, and concerns himself so much with matters of ideals and what is right that after his land is freed from the Turks, he hopes to become a politician in [[BigGood Faisal's]] new kingdom.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994'': The three male lions, [[spoiler: each of whom is king for part of the movie]]
* ** Id: Mufasa. A strong, passionate, and well-respected leader.
* ** Superego: Scar. A brooding, resourceful villain and skilled liar and planner.
* ** Ego: Simba. Clearly inherited his father's bravery and his uncle's resourcefulness.

** While the following are hardly a power trio, ''The Curse of the Black Pearl'' sets up a nice id-ego-superego dynamic with, respectively, Jack, Will and Norrington: "[My place is] right here - between you and Jack." (Fun fact: Schopenhauer's analogue of the id was called the Will.)

''Film/ShallowGrave''
* Alex Law (Id)

''Film/ShaunOfTheDead''
* Shaun (ego) is pulled two ways by:
* Ed (id) who draws him into impulsive and self-destructive behaviour, and
* Liz (superego) who wants him to behave better (in her own opinion).
** It could be argued that several characters are aspects of a composite superego, Liz, Philip and Pete among them. Pete and Ed's roles as Shaun's superego and id become very pronounced during the big fight before Shaun decides to sort his life out.
