Shine (Psychotic Disorder)

Introduction

The film “shine” is a detailed life of a pianist David Helfgott which has been driven by his father who is a teacher. The two characters are known to have had a breakdown in various issues. Years later, David returns to the piano and tries to bring out the issue of mental illness through the subjected he goes through. “Shine” is among the films that try to come up with a theme factor to understand psychotic disorders in society, giving some important insights that society has been facing for years. Through the film, it is possible to learn some important issues about mental illness in a detailed manner, not the way it is physically acclaimed. The study seeks to understand some important issues that have been identified by the film and factor in mental illness identification, especially as portrayed by the main character David Helfgott.

In the movie “Shine” a number of critics have actively criticized David Helfgott’s piano playing in the press as having a form of psychotic disorder. In other words, the manner in which all this alignment is done depicts a negatively portrayed approach to understanding how certain issues have been completed. Traces to understanding psychotic disorder can be viewed from the points being argued by the critics. The music critics pointed out the inaccuracy existing in Mr Helfgott’s depiction, which is as a reborn musical genius. It makes the audience to come up with a distinction between cinema musicality as well as the real-life virtuosity aspect.

The movie is very clear in bringing clearly the mental illness of David Helfgott and discusses it in-depth, looking at the veracity of the portrayed disorder. Such a case of psychotic disorder is uncommon in movies, and this makes the film to be uniquely designed to fit proper educative aspects. It provides reliable information that can be of great benefit to other people. Considering the fact that there was no better diagnosis, the cinematic David appears to have a greater case for movie madness, a celluloid amalgam of schizophrenia, idiot savant and manic depression. All this characterized David looking at the behavior he portrayed in the film. It was easy to deduct some of the key behavioural frames. It adds great insight into the illness and makes the film to be realistic and focused on a specific theme.

However, an important piece of misinformation that the film outlines is the ways in which psychiatric treatment has been given is evident. The film has indicated that David’s deterioration was outlined if not caused by electroconvulsive therapy, which is also called shock therapy. This is not an actual approach to the illness. Some of the important and accurate points had been missed in such scenarios. In reality, it is considered that electroconvulsive therapy is seen to be one of the most accurate medical treatment in the medical field. It can never have any form of inaccuracy as such. The therapy has been in effect ever since the 1960s without having associated disabling damage to the individuals. It implies that it is one of the realistic medical therapy of all time. The manner in which different elements have been done affects how certain things are made and effectively designed in a given manner.

The movie also brings an aspect of misinformation looking at the attribution of David’s nervous breakdown in line with the cruelty portrayed by his father. It is considered that mental illness has its roots on heartless parents. This piece of misinformation has been considered over the years to reflect a given approach and has changed the manner in which different aspects have been outlined. Most of the identified films were produced in the middle of the century when the given ideas about the films on mental illness was an aspect considered by health professionals. It is evident in the psychoanalysts who saw the schizophrenic mother having the roots of all the mental illness of the child. It is not proper to have such a conclusion which has baseless claims. Even though the mother or any of the parent was heartless, it cannot be stereotypically considered that the entire family was subjected to such undertakings.

The film goes further to outline how the mental health of the main character can be viewed and related to today’s society. It is easy to identify some of the major theories which have been added to the outrageous insults and severe injuries passed across by parents in one way or the other. It is easy to believe that severe mental illness needs proper biological considerations in the predispositions identified. Such is an important element that changes the manner in which key aspects are determined and properly subjected to given principles. The accepted biological theory of major mental problems and illness is never seen to be backed by the film in full. There are important mental considerations that the film had to consider before a proper undertaking, and acceptable principle could be outlined. The way certain issues are considered and designed helped in designing the right process that would change how the patient considers a number of illness and establish key solutions to the problems.

The most critical thing is the fact that the movie has an impact on millions of people and families who are dealing with major mental disorders. Whether the film is approved by families and individuals is not an issue, the main problem lies in the information being laid across. The film has inappropriately changed the perspectives of proper information outlay that would influence the decisions made and the manner in which key alternatives are undertaken. It is through such an outline that the right issues are given and properly designed. “Shine,” is considered to be an uplifting movie concerning the resilience of the human spirit and seems to proceed a tradition of blaming parents for undertaking and connecting themselves with existing mental illness which can be in a position to rob their children of appropriate lives.

Conclusion

In summary, “shine” is a film that provides educative approaches to understanding psychotic disorder among individuals in society. However, the film does not provide the most realistic information. This means that the information being provided and the manner in which David behaves is not a proper reflection of the condition. Some of the issues raised can end up becoming misinterpreted. The aspect of information misinterpretation is possible and can go through a number of issues that would influence and change how certain elements have been identified. Finally, the film has been able to give important faces of mental illness in society, including its exaggerations and the possible issues that could be done to avoid such issues.
