As a person who absolutely loves literature (the extreme beauty & absolute power of words) & an advocate for mental health, this was such a GREAT movie...based on the true story of Professor James Murray & Dr. W. C. Minor
IMO: It just goes to show that even though a person is struggling with a mental illness, they CAN & DO contribute to the good of society! Now, of course, not all mental health patients have the mind of a surgeon, but society, as a whole, tend to be dismissive of those who are seen as "not normal" & quick to label them as "broken" or "damaged" goods without the remotest sign of compassion or care for these individuals.
I love this movie because it shows how the beauty of words & the power of kindness can be used to change the world (even if the world is just one person)
