I avoid films like the ones you mentioned, because they bring back memories for me.

I have been institutionalized a few times in my life (one major time as a teen, and two shorter times in my mid-late 30's). I have seen some very serious things behind those walls. I have made friends while in mental hospitals. People suffering from all sorts of experiences ~ and diagnoses.

I have strong memories of people "going off" and a clan of aides and nurses running over, pushing the person to the ground & giving a shot of thorazine near the heiny. Chairs thrown, screaming and yelling galore. Quite a ruckus for the other patients to ignore.

I really don't need any reminders to remember that area of my life. The memories aren't all negative. But it's a very intimate part of my life that I'd rather not F with.
