As a result of the importance of the media in how individuals obtain information and formulate opinions, how different groups are presented whether negatively or positively is important. This research examines the portrayal of mental illness in films and the impact that such portrayals have on the perceptions of mental illness of the viewers. Mental illness representations can be found quite prevalently among film and the way in which it is represented can be important as to how populations perceive those with mental disorders.

  • Decoding Silver Linings Playbook
    return to updates DECODING Silver Linings Playbook by Miles Mathis First published July 6, 2014 This may be a couple of years too late, but I work on my own schedule. I can't be bothered to respond to all propaganda in a timely manner. The film Silver Linings Playbook came out in 2012 and was nominated for 8 academy awards. Jennifer Lawrence won best actress. I will now decode the movie for you. As part of that decoding, let us look at its 92% “fresh” score at Rotten Tomatoes. Along with IMDB, Rotten Tomatoes is one of the top online review sites for new movies. So a lot of people base their movie choices on the scores at these places. Like everything else, these scores are rigged. A large percentage of the “counted” reviews are written by embedded Intelligence agents, so—like the Academy Award nominations—these reviews simply act as promotion by the CIA for their own movies. You will ask for proof of that assertion, but the 92% score is proof enough by itself. Given nothing but the plot of the movie, anyone can see that score is ridiculously high. Any intelligent person can tell from the preview alone that the movie is garbage: each snippet is more cringe-inducing than the last. But the pages at Rotten Tomatoes disprove the number as well. Go to the review pages and catalog all the responses. If the movie were really so popular, this guy's thread should have been absolutely swamped by lovers of it. It isn't.

  • The Stars Are Aligning in Toronto
    The Stars are Aligning in Toronto The Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), now in its 40th year, has grown from an upstart film movement in 1976 to a global cinematic tour de force. Whereas Cannes is known as the Queen of Film Festivals, the Toronto International Film Festival has risen to second in the rankings, frequently referred to as Cannes’ Feisty Princess. For this year’s opening, Quebec filmmaker Jean-Marc Vallée landed TIFF’s coveted opening gala slot withDemolition , starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Naomi Watts and Chris Cooper. Jean- Marc Vallée, of course, also directed Matthew McConaughey in Dallas Buyers Club (a TIFF premiere in 2013) and Reese Witherspoon in Wild. TIFF’s long history is rich with under-the-radar movies that went on to become international blockbusters: Chariots of Fire (1981), The Big Chill (1983), The Fisher King (1991), American Beauty (1999), Crash (2004), Slumdog Millionaire (2009), The King’s Speech (2010) and Silver Linings Playbook (2012). Here are our top picks from this year’s festival: Black Mass Starring Johnny Depp as Boston’s feared underworld mobster turned FBI informant, James “Whitey” Bolger, is being heralded as the breakout role in Depp’s current career slump and an Oscar-worthy performance. Depp is evil incarnate right down to his creepy blue contact lenses. Kevin Bacon, Benedict Cumberbatch and Dakota Johnson co-star. In theaters now. The Martian Director Ridley Scott and Matt Damon team up to knock this space film out of the park. Damon is an astronaut stranded on Mars. An out-of-this-world MacGiver, he relies on his expansive engineering and botany skills to stay alive as the ground crew figures out how to get him home.
