CONFRONTING MOVIES
Does anyone else find these movies a trigger at times?

Re: CONFRONTING MOVIES
I have a wide collection of mental health related movies and I find Girl, Interrupted an extremely triggering movie. I can only watch it when I am in a good frame of mind.

Re: CONFRONTING MOVIES
@Former-Member it stars Winona Ryder and Angelina Jolie and is set in a women's psychiatric unit. It shows the ups and downs of different mental health concerns and I find it confronting because of all the old school treatments like straight jackets and heavy tranquilisers and such.
Some years ago, during mental health week, I visited a psychiatric museum at an old hospital. As part of the demonstration they asked for a volunteer for to put on a straight jacket. I volunteered and never forgot the experience. Let's just say it wasn't pleasant and it still gets me to this day.

Re: CONFRONTING MOVIES
I can't watch anything where there is animal cruelty, or an animal dies - it really upsets me. There is a great website Does the Dog Die? for people like me 🙂
I don't mind watching gruelling drama, but can not bring myself to rewatch it as it is just so full on - think Once Were Warriors (brilliant movie) and No Country for Old Men. I forgot about Last Cab to Darwin, I definitely want to see that one.
