I don’t think the movie really offered much in the way of education for the masses about mental illness. I think people who are sensitive to the subject to begin with are a lot more likely to notice the information is there than people who aren’t are.

I guess I have to see it then…

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.

“I thought this movie was overrated”
“I didn’t think it was overrated. Of course, SOME PEOPLE do think that way, and also, SOME PEOPLE don’t understand it, not that I am at all implying that these two groups of people are congruent, of course not, don’t be ridiculous”

And that is honestly how I interpreted it. If I’m wrong, which is obviously an entirely possible outcome, then I sincerely apologize for any offense I caused you.

But I don’t think I am wrong. I think you’re just scrambling not to appear the way I just presented you to be, because you realise that it’s entirely out of character for the kind of person you claim to be.
