Makes You Think

Rating: 10/10 (4 November 2019)

Centered around mental health.
A topic receiving greater attention, as people begin to feel more comfortable revealing the true extent of mental illness within society.
The acting performance is gripping. You can feel his torment and empathise with his failure to fit in. There are times when it can be difficult to watch.
It captures the failures of the system, inadequate treatment, a lack of care for how Gotham treats the downtrodden and afflicted.
It's a movie that makes you think. Although awareness of mental health issues has improved, treatment and understanding has not. I've known many people facing their own struggles, including people taking their own lives which has shocked me.
When you approach the movie through the lens, you start to think about how close we are from incidents, murders prompted by such failings.
There's one question or line of thought it sparked. Evil is not inherited but created. By how societies treat, react, respond to misfits.
Watch this movie!
