All the Bright Places (2020)

People who call him selfish have never experienced deep depression and trauma

[10/10 · 4 March 2020]

I saw some negative reviews not getting the logic of him comitting suicide at the end as if he did it on purpose to hurt Violet and the others. But those people must have never experienced depression because there is no logic in depression. Your mind fights against you and becomes your worst enemy. You don't think clearly or "logically" when you're depressed. This is a beautiful and incredibly sad movie that shows mental health problems in a very realistic way. The point is that sometimes you can't help someone because they're too far gone. Their issues goes very deep and he had been through a really horrible trauma as a child. It is a harsh and sad reality abd some people here don't wan't to accept that, doesn't make it any less true. Real life is not a Disney movie, everyone don't get a happy ending and some people don't recover from their traumas. I think that this is a very important movie that highlighted that and it was still a beautiful journey and ending because he saved Violet, his life wasn't for nothing he saved her and that matters. This movie also showed how we never know what somebody might be going through at home as Violet's friend turned out to have Bulimia and had a history of suicide attempts. This movie gets a 10/10 from me for discussing mental health problems in a very mature way, with incredible acting, gorgerously shot and solid screenplay. As someone who's gone through depression and physical abuse l really connected to these characters and felt their pain.
