Great depiction of Schizophrenia

Rating: 10/10 (11 December 2010)

For anyone curious about the mentally ill, especially Schizophrenia, I think this is a VERY good film. My daughter suffered terribly from the disease. When you are sick, your brain tells you to go to the doctor. When your brain is sick, what do you do? The feelings portrayed by the musicians was well presented by Hollywood. I am sure it was not a truly accurate depiction of events and it is truly sad if none of the proceeds from this film went to help the mentally ill. I know many people look at dirty homeless people with disgust. They should at least get their act together enough to work at McDonalds, right? At one time, I thought like this. Then when my own talented, beautiful girl got sick.....couldn't eat...people were poisoning her.....voices were yelling at her.....bugs were crawling on her.....my perception of everything changed. It is an awful, frightening disease. It is as bad, if not worse, than cancer, heart disease and diabetes. I think the film was well done from both the entertainment and educational factor.
