Why does Hollywood keep making movies about mental illness?
I saw It's Kind of a Funny Story, that movie was ****, I saw part of Perks of Being a Wallflower, I couldn't finish it. All Hollywood does is glamorize mental illness, like in IKOAFS the guy goes to a mental hospital and finds love and he's okay after that, of course he also found out that he's talented, but Emma Robert's character (not an Emma Roberts fan anyway) she was suddenly cured once she met him, I've never been in love, but I'm pretty sure that's not how it works. Also, how are these people getting gfs/bfs, is their "awkwardness" or "quirks" cute. No one thinks my awkwardness is cute, people just want to know what the **** is wrong with me. The thing that pisses me off the most about these movies though, is that they show upsides to mental illness, or "perks" you could say. I can safely say, there are rarely any perks, if there are any, I haven't come across any yet. I feel like it's becoming a fad to have some kind of mental illness so people will feel sorry for you, or at least that's what I think. I don't know, I just don't understand, if Hollywood is going to portray mental illness they could at least do it right.
@rick29148 yeah, I suppose you're right, but why do people watch that filth?
@hi Yeah, I know being an introvert is not the same thing as having a mental illness, in the movie he went to a mental hospital before the movie took place, idk why, all I know is his friend killed himself. I couldn't stand it any longer so I quit before I could find out.
