Boycott “Split.”
This is a horror movie that’s not out yet but just seeing the trailer really pissed me off. The trailer basically described a movie about this mentally ill man that kidnaps these girls and its heavily implied he’s going to kill them. The man is said to have a ‘personality disorder’ (It’s not actually a personality disorder it’s been reclassified as Dissociative Identity Disorder) and that alone already gives people the impression mentally ill people are dangerous. However, they go on to say that the man has 23 different personalities, which the woman diagnosing him claims that she’s “never seen a case like this” when in reality there are people recorded to have many more identities than this, and someone treating DID would know this. Overall, the movie really portrays the symptoms wrong and it’s another movie that demonizes mentally ill people. Please save your money and see another movie.
