Cried my eyes out

Rating: Null/10 (28 February 2007)

I have seen this movie a few times, but after having a nervous breakdown (psychotic break) in 2006, the movie touched home. It was so cathartic, that I cried the entire movie, at times hyperventilating. It allows you to question your own life and to see the lives of others who struggle with mental illness. There are points in the movie that allow the viewer to question his or her own thoughts on issues regarding life. Mental hospitals have not changed that much except better furniture, better meds that work and no bath tubs. They have showers, now. The humanity shown by some nurses and tech is genuine. Some people really do care when they work in that environment.
