Movies that contain Psychopathology

Conrad is struggling against post-traumatic stress disorder: he is facing serious difficulties in dealing with the death of his brother. Meanwhile, his mother strives to act as if nothing had happened. The tension between them soon becomes brutal. I really liked this movie, although, sometimes, it portrayed unrealistic cliches. This family ends up talking about love when it's clear they have not said yet everything that they needed to say. This leads to disruption, not to union. Another thing I liked about this movie is that the psychiatrist has an intelligent approach, therapeutic from a realistic perspective. Movies often fail to portray an accurate picture of psychiatrists/psychologists. I highly recommend it, it is a good movie.

First it seemed like a silly movie. There is, clearly, a huge exaggeration on Angelique's part: she lives an obsession with a man who, apparently, does not love her and neither loves his wife. Then, there is a twist, and it all makes (no) sense, when we become aware of what Loic and his wife go through because of Angelique. This movie depicts beautifully a scenario of insane obsession, and the apparent innocence and sweetness of the main character not only postpones, at first, our perception of what is really going on, but also makes us wonder why does she act like and on and on if Loic doesn't care about her. The twist is disturbing but also the reason why the movie is good.

Keywords: obsession, erotomania, twist.

To tell the truth, I saw this one because my psychopathology professor pointed it as an example of schizoid personality, so I was concentrated in Laslo's behavior. I didn't find the movie as interesting as some people claim it to be, and I think it was too long. I liked Hana, though.
Regarding the so-called Laslo's schizoid personality, I have to say I'm not so sure. He clearly presents some caracteristics, yes, but we need to take in account the circumstances in which Laslo is presented to us: he is away from his country, talking a foreing language among people who, though seem friendly, might have contributed, somehow, to Laslo's isolation. The diference of cultures and habits might play some role here. Besides, when he is burnt, well, he is in pain and when people are in pain, sometimes they just don't care anymore about what others think about them. He is disfigured and he has amnesia too, which are things that might harden a person. I didn't read the book, so I'm just guessing (i don't know if the book presents more information about Laslo). He seems to act in the same way, but my question is: is it just his personality or was it his circumstances that created the coincidence?

This movie portaits beautifully some of the schizophrenia symptoms. The reason why I watched the movie was mainly that, having a schizophrenic character. However, being the movie so long, I was expecting a better plot. Jamie Foxx's performace was flawless, though. It is interesting, but it coud have been better. The trailer tricked me.

I watched this one many years ago, I can't tell if it was awesome or just okay. However, I remember this: Henry Evans is a little kid with conduct disorder. I need to watch this again.
