Boy Interrupted - A Truthful Look at Suicidal Impulses

I saw this film several years ago and obviously it affected me very deeply, not only because it is a very sad movie (be warned before you watch it), but because it spoke to me on so many levels. The highs and lows, being brought low to your darkest place and then recovering and seeming healthy only to have that dark place beckon every so often. Its one of the most truthful films I've ever seen about suicide. A stark reminder that even people who seem to have everything (and the boy in the movie is from a well to do family, was getting good grades, was good looking, and seemed to have no shortage of dates and/or friends) can succumb to suicidal impulses. It will definitely move you if you choose to watch it, and probably be very insightful. Especially if you've never had to face these issues before. But yes, make sure you have a comedy prepped to play afterward. It can be a rough watch.
