TW, very realistic and frightening. But I think it does a really good job explaining how a psychotic episode happens to folks who have never experienced it firsthand. It’s in German, but you can choose English subtitles.

Wow that was really impressive. It really does translate over well. This actually makes me remember that I am not 100% free from my psychosis, even if I were on meds, it doesn’t stop the thought process and just induces apathy.

I watched it. It was interesting. Does a pretty good job of describing the experience for at least one person. Glad I took the time to check it out, thanks @Ninjastar.

Very interesting film. I think it’s an interesting bit of insight for those who have never seen something that a sz patient may experience.

I am confused about the point of the film. Based on the poll questions, it seems like it’s meant to test how different viewers observe subtle changes in the film when they view it more than once and also whether they see the brief flashes of other frames inserted into the film? 
I think the main character is speaking in Swiss German because I had trouble understanding him (and I am reasonably fluent in German). @SailorTheFox59. Were you able to understand him?

My German friend who showed it to me said it was Swiss German, and he needed subtitles.

It might be for a film class. Sometimes it takes several times to watch a movie to fully understand each layer.

And pausing during a shot, is used to analyze as if it were a picture.
I’ve done this in my film classes in high school.
So when he pauses during the beginning, it’s like the viewer is becoming the main character. (Hero with a thousand faces trope).
That is, assuming this is all for a film class.
I think most of the flashes on screen were of the energy drink. So the point of the film was to see how subtle things as that were to affect the viewer(?)

That’s actually pretty accurate to what I’ve experienced. My only question is: who was the old man? Was he just a hallucination?
I have a very vivid memory that was absolutely real of one of my coworkers asking me to join the Masons. Note: he didn’t directly ask, he told me to check them out. The three possible answers are that he thought I needed more friends, was just being cruel to me or there is an actual Masonic conspiracy. It changed my worldview at the time as I was working for government. Later I became convinced I was being followed by the CIA and that there was some Masonic conspiracy. I think it was just a mixture of all things that made my weak brain go haywire: working for a Congressman, applied to the CIA and was invited into the Masons.

Just talking about it almost makes me slip back into psychosis. It’s coincidental as ■■■■.
I had a hard time understanding him too. Does sound like Swiss German or maybe luxembourgish!
