I am curious about it tho.
A friend went and saw it and she said it was a tough movie for sure but she enjoyed it. She’s a horror movie type tho.
Are you feeling okay now?

I'm still feeling unsettled. The violence was gratuitous, vivid, raw and scary. Scary just seeing it but also knowing that it won't bother a lot of people. I feel angry that they showed him taking 7 psych meds (made a point of saying "seven") and him haphazardly taking them. He gets kicked out of the low-income clinic he was getting his meds from so he goes cold turkey off them and that when he starts killing. This infuriates me. How can we get ahead of the stereotypes when people make movies like this? So yeah I feel shaken by those vivid images of gun violence on top of all the rest.
