One of the best scripts I ever wrote was about a young girl's descent into acute schizophrenia. I read like twelve books for that script and did three interviews. SE:L was very familiar when I first watched it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk%3ASerial_Experiments_Lain#Schizophrenia_and_psychosis
Schizophrenia runs in my family, so I ponder it a lot. I've often wondered why it's not something we see much of on the big screen. Did it get made?One of the best scripts I ever wrote was about a young girl's descent into acute schizophrenia.
That sounds fascinating.
Cinema would be good for exploring schizophrenia.
My initial thoughts as well, there was dis-associative identity and schizophrenia, but in the last few layers, her "delusions" start having real life impact on others, namely Arisu being attacked by the "God" of the wired. Which is where I kind of came to a stand still with what was actually happening.
