Do you have a favorite movie with SZ as the main feature of the film?
What is it if so and do you feel it’s realistic or what would you want to see ?
I’ve seen ‘beautiful mind’ and more recently ‘lonely boy’ and both had the themes of the voices of the characters are represented by three different people. One a hostile man, one a child and another one.
I think if I made a movie about SZ I’d show it differently but in an interesting way.
“Spider” by David Cronenberg, starring Ralph Finnes. It is not cleared of which mental illness the main character suffers, but it has a psychotic and delusional element.
Spider is set in the East End London in the 1960s and '80’s. A deeply disturbed boy, Spider, ‘sees’ his father brutally murder his mother and replace her with a prostitute, Yvonne. Convinced they plan to murder him next, Spider hatches an insane plan, which he carries through to tragic effect. Years later, Spider is released into a halfway house, where he receives little care or attention from the landlady Mrs. Wilkinson. Unsupervised, Spider stops taking his medication and starts revisiting hischildhood haunts. His attempts to sustain his delusional account of his past begin to unravel and Spider spirals into fresh madness.

my voices do not come from imagined persons - I hear them coming from people in general - all sorts of people near and far and they say good and bad things
Yeah, I heard bout Donnie Darko here at first back when, and thought it is well worth recommending for those who have not seen it yet. I got it at my local library for free. I get a lot of stuff there. Just have to use there computer system to order then just go and pick up the things I ordered.
There is a movie called Clean, Shaven where it revolves completely around a person with SZ. I couldn’t finish it though, it just felt weird watching for some reason.
