    This is all well and good, but the film appears to barely scrape the surface of the vast array of mental illnesses that people turn a blind eye to. I understand the need to have it be an entertaining film and all, but what about someone with schizophrenia? Or bipolar disorder? Or any number of offending conditions which shock us down to the core, make us shudder and feel better about looking away than facing the issue? Sure, it wouldn't bring much commercial success but these are the kind of realities people ened to be forced to see.

    Anyways, I'm glad someone is saying something about the issue.
