      Movie review, Brain on Fire

      The film introduced today, in the eyes of many film critics, can be said to be a complete "bad film". It is not worth mentioning and dismissive, but for many viewers, especially the families of people with mental illness. Or friends, but it has a very important meaning.


      Brain on Fire, the video mentioned in the previous paragraph. A latest inspirational work adapted from real people and real things....

      Case capacity

      Case capacity

      Like case teaching, naturally like this kind of story.

      The story is also based on real events and characters, so it seems a bit boring. But the outstanding significance of this harmless movie.

      First of all, the film allows us to understand the "scientific method".

      This movie reminds me of "Speaking to the Sky". The film has responsible doctors who try their best to find solutions for the "mental patients." I even think that the problems...

      Quite satisfactory

      It's quite satisfactory, and there are not many outstanding highlights, but in the end the movie said that this was a real occurrence. I personally think that what attracts me is that she narrates the whole story from the perspective of a mental patient, although she just watched it. Feeling very depressed but at the end it makes people feel very happy. Also, when the heroine did not get sick at the beginning, the clothes matching and hair styling are very good points. I like it very much....

      If a movie can make people ignore its artistry and only remember the meaning she reveals, then this movie is worth remembering. In other words, the more she spreads, the more profound her meaning will be. "Brain Fire" (also translated "The Diary When I Go Crazy" and "My Diary of Aberration" 2017), edited and directed by Gerald Barrett, is such a meaningful and awakening movie. But who can really smell the skin pain suffered by this only...

      Probably every actress should have an inspirational movie based on the event like this in her career. Super Killer is no exception. But the script is too boring. The adaptation failed, but the one who played the mother of Super Killer was Jessica Stone. The lesbian lawyer haha ​​always thinks she should have other communication with the super killer girl...

      After reading the book, I found that there is a movie, but the acting is too bad. My father is like a boyfriend, my boyfriend is like a younger brother, and there are times when my mother and father doubt myself, but the film becomes a medical trouble. The rhythm is also very poor. It deteriorated step by step in the hospital for a few...

    Movie quotes

    • Susannah Cahalan: [narrating] I had to learn everything from scratch. How to walk again. How to talk again. Smile. How to be a daughter. To love Stephen again. How to write. I had to learn how to exist again.

    • [last lines]

      Susannah Cahalan: This new Susannah is a lot like the old Susannah, but she's so much stronger. Because for the very first time, I feel ready to tackle the mystery of what happened to me. To find an answer. An answer that could possibly save a life.

    • Susannah Cahalan: How many people do you think throughout history were diagnosed as Schizophrenic, psychotic, bipolar, or... maybe just plain crazy, when they had something that could've been so easily diagnosed?
