MY 'OUTER SPACE'

i know that this movie has been around for ages but i never really care enough to watch it until recently when our respective psychiatrist lecturer, Prof Najib encouraged us to watch it so that we can relate it to what we're going to learn in psychiatry posting and also to make us appreciate more about mental illness when seeing psychiatry patient later. Frankly speaking i LOVE LOVE the movie..this movie is based on true story where John Forbes Nash, Jr. (born June 13, 1928) is a mathematician and also nobel prize winner who has SCHIZOPHRENIA (one of the psychiatry illness).



summary :
A biopic of the meteoric rise of John Forbes Nash Jr., a math prodigy able to solve problems that baffled the greatest of minds. And how he overcame years of suffering through schizophrenia to win the Nobel Prize.

comments :

- i'm touch by the love and faith shown by John Nash's wife, ALICIA and i couldn't imagine whether i can be that strong in the future, if i ever get married one day.
- i have two uncle with schizophrenia and they are not that hardcore one, they still consume their medications. even with the illness, somehow one of my uncle really get well with children and kids love them and the most touching part would be they take care of my grandparents as they are still living with them (my mother would always say that 'ha tgk tue org yg kurang sihat boleh jaga baba and abib tapi org yg sihat tak dpt nk jaga sgt').
- my neighbour also has schizophrenia and guess what? she's a lecturer for engineering in UTM. this shows that there's no barrier towards achieving your success in life.

- the community are still lack of exposure towards mental illness and there are actually ways to control some of the mental illness before it's become worse.

- do NOT call those people with mental illness --> orang GILA..we must remember that most of us have the possibility to get the illness for example every healthy living person have 1% chance to get SCHIZOPHRENIA.

* I need to believe that something extra ordinary is possible...

* It is only in the mysterious equation of love that any logical reasons can be found.
