Hollywood suceeds with a beautiful mind

Rating: 10/10 (8 January 2002)

Hollywood didn't screw up! which is very suprising in this case because this is a very true life story of a man still living today, and an excellent depiction of the most misunderstood mental illness. Hollywood has long depicted schizophrenia as a multiple personality disorder which is horrible misinformation and not even close, but thats what everybody thinks it is, from tv and movies. Caution this is a very sad movie, and a suspense thriller at times as well, with comedic parts mixed in. But foremost it is a very sad movie, even sadder for myself, 21 and have struggling with schizophrenia for a while now. It was like the whole movie was about me and i cried harder than i have in a long time. This movies is an excellent drama, an excellent true life story and an excellecent representation of what schizophrenia really is. I won't give anything away though because there are plot twists.
