I didn't want to drop a hint-n-clues post at the bottom of the previous page, so I bumped the thread a few minutes ago just to get this post on the top of page 2.
So anyway... hints, anybody?
#1: The mentally ill fish in this movie suffers from amnesia, and has great difficulty learning and retaining new information, recalling names, and knowing where she is going or why.
#2: The character pictured is a homeless man who suffers from schizophrenia and post traumatic stress disorder. Jeff Bridges, the movies' other main character, is dealing with depression.
#3: Leonardo DiCaprio plays a renowned aerospace engineer and business magnate from the first half of the 20th century. He spent most of his life dealing with severe obsessive-compulsive disorder, ultimately becoming a total recluse.
#4: If Jennifer Jason Leigh, (Hedy), and Bridget Fonda, (Allie), look extremely similar in the screenshot, that's because Hedy suffers from borderline personality disorder, and she's become obsessed with the idea of becoming more like her new roommate.
#5: You couldn't swing a dead cat around this place without whacking a mentally ill patient! Fortunately, Nurse Ratched is there to help, dispensing meds, punishing patients, and just generally being a killjoy.
#6: You might not be able to tell, but that's an upside down Brad Pitt in the screenshot. This is a movie involving mental illness, starring Brad Pitt, and it's
not Twelve Monkeys. That right there should be enough of a clue for anybody who's seen this 1999 movie, which also features Ed Norton.
#7: Jim Carrey suddenly develops an obsessive-compulsive disorder in this movie where his character becomes obsessed with the idea that a book involving murder-mystery and numerology is actually about
him. That book's title is also the name of this movie.
#8: In any discussion of movies involving mental illness, if Sally Field is mentioned, this is pretty much the only movie that would come to mind. Her character's name in this made-for-TV miniseries is also the title of the movie. Do I also need to mention multiple personality disorder? There, I just did.
Hope these help!
