Something Pretentious People Will Never Understand

Rating: 9/10 (24 January 2013)

I have read the good reviews and the bad reviews. So far all the bad reviews reveal that people really don't understand anything about MI (Mental Illness).
I think this movie is very successful in bringing out the reality of how difficult it is to live with a condition that so very few people understand. Just like the reviews the movie got, people who are different are being judged by these pretentious people who think they're better than everybody else.
I have had my share of time in a similar place but in a smaller hospital. I have made friends there and I know what it's like to be going out and missing them but of course, who wants to stay in there? I know depression when I see it and I can smell it 500 miles away. This movie brought me to tears because the emotions are spot on. I feel like they've read my journal. Well of course, they've read Sussana's and she produced it. I don't have BPD, I have a different diagnosis but I can relate to this very well.
Apparently, one person's attempt to make people understand what this is has not worked despite the great acting and the realism of it all. People are just blind I guess. Or perhaps it's true that unless you've experienced it, you will never understand. So try to walk even just a day in those shoes, then tell us what you think.
The only thing that I'm not completely satisfied with is the ending. I mean, I know the title is Girl, Interrupted but it feels like they interrupted the ending as well. They didn't quite give any answers really and it's a little frustrating cause I expected it to give a little more light than just focusing on memoirs.
