Not overrated at all. As it was a movie that has taught the ignorant masses that schizophrenia and multiple personality disorder aren’t one and the same. But some still don’t get it, of course.

^I couldn’t agree more. Mental illness and what it really means is another thing that people are oblivious to, as long as it doesn’t affect them.

God damn it Luke, will you stop interpreting everything I say whatever way you want.
Please. Please show me where I said that he doesn’t understand something that I do understand?
It’s a fact that the majority of people know only misconceptions about mental illnesses. You think this movie wasn’t that good because of bad acting? Go ahead and think that. You think the movie was bad because the story wasn’t original? Alright with me.
But to me, the significance of the message is undeniable.
That’s my opinion you see. Just like he stated his, I stated mine.
But of course it’s way more fun to tell me that, than him isn’t it.

@...LukeV1-5:
Ah that was very clever of you, I’ll give you that.

You thought I was implying that he didn’t understand the movie because of this part “has taught the ignorant masses”. Don’t you see the mistake? I didn’t say that’s the reason why he didn’t like the movie because he wasn’t aware of that. How would I know? No. I just pointed out that while it may not seem like anything special, the fact that it contains some not so well known truth about mental illness makes it quite important.

I don’t know anybody with a mental illness, except for some people on the Internet. It was through them that I realised this.
I don’t know what you think that I think I am, but I’m certainly no saint. I value objectivity a lot. But I’m close-minded in many cases which is ok. If you’re too open-minded it’s kind of nihilistic in a sense.
