How very true. You are so right about movies that show wealthy people in distress. I'm trying to think if there are any movies about mental illness that are just about "ordinary" people -- that is, people who are, as they say, in the lower economic brackets. The movie "Mr. Jones" with Richard Gere as the lead character who has bipolar disorder, is about someone who would not be considered wealthy, but the issue of costs of care does not even come into the picture at all. One wonders, in that movie, how the various characters' mental health treatments are paid for at all. That's another bugaboo of mine --- movies that take it for granted that MI is getting treated, and the economics of the situation is just ignored completely.
