Hollywood Film Critique -
A lot of what we see portrayed in movies may not based in reality, which can lead to confusion about psychological disorders. Select one of the following films and review the film as a Psychology student, not just a movie-watcher. You must provide a summation of the selected movie and discuss it from a psychological viewpoint. You should explain and discuss the mental illness depicted in the film. Based on your knowledge from class and your text, determine if the film accurately depicts the disorder identified or if it is flawed. Be sure to discuss the observable behaviors that are consistent with the disorder. This is a review based on psychological information provided in the textbook and/or lecture. This should be a concise 2-3 page paper, not an overview of what you think about the movie in general.
In addition, answer the following questions:
- Identify the character and the psychological disorder they display.
- Did the movie accurately portray the symptoms of the disorder? Was this an accurate clinical picture? Explain in detail and provide examples from the movie.
- Discuss any inaccuracies and misconceptions perpetrated of the disorder in the movie. If the disorder was misrepresented explain how this could be misleading to a typical movie-goer.
