Movie Reviews of Revolution #9
Movie Review: Another Attempt at Stigmatizing Bipolar; Horrifying;
Summary: 2 Stars
I recommend reviewing the names of famous people who have suffered with this illness; they range from composers to poets and leaders like Winston Churchill, Theodore Roosevelt. Ted Turner, a major media giant, has bipolar! These people are delusional? I don't think so. People who do these kinds of films need to do their homework! I do not recommend this film to anyone with any form of bipolar. This film can cause depression and self-destructive behavior.
This film promotes a false view of the illness. This film is about shock factor entertainment. It is Because of this kind of stigmatizing propaganda bipolars are not free to divulge they have the illness. They a labeled lazy, moody, loud, impulsive...and get fired from their jobs and alienated from friends because they have an illness/ a disease very similar to epilepsy...and often treated with the same anti-convulsants. Just because Bipolar is currently labeled a serious mental disorder doesn't mean that they are delusional. It means the illness is life threatening.
This is why most people with the illness are ashamed and keep it a secret. This film is an example of why an individual with professional training in clinical psychology should be consulted. The sick character in this film is more of a Paranoid schizophrenic. I believe this film promotes bigotry and harmful to anyone with bipolar. It is my opinion that this film was written by someone who is either vindictive toward someone who divulged that they were suffering from bipolar or they had a relationship with someone who claimed their illness was bipolar and it was actually something else.
Summary of Revolution #9
Tim McCann's (Desolation Angels) award-winning film is an emotionally charged and moving portrait of a young man's descent into mental illness. Michael Risley delivers an extraordinary performance as James Jackson, a recently engaged young man living in New York City. He soon imagines himself the victim of an overwhelming sensory attack by corporate media. After tracing these influences to a television commercial, he begins to seek out its unsuspecting director (Spalding Gray). Posing as a reporter for a film journal, Jackson prepares for what becomes a disturbing face-to-face confrontation. Meanwhile, Jackson's fiancee (Adrienne Shelly). desperately attempts to get him treatment, but becomes entangled by the Kafka-esque workings of the mental health care system. As their relationship strains, it seems that Jackson is determined to uncover this conspiracy by any means necessary.Drama DVD Video
