Reply to comment by MartinScorsese in Do movies like Smile (2022) further stigmatize mental health? by Alternative-Cold-290

Thank you, I would like to hear your reasoning for saying no. At the same time, I am not talking about the mental health issues, its about how they lose sight of things that are happening in their surrounding. I have watched Turkish and Indian movies and the trend tends to repeat itself.

For as long as horror films have been around, they have used scary characters and situations as metaphors, exploring our most primal anxieties and fears. One of the most common fears is losing our minds, or sense of self. If anything, Smile empathizes with mental health struggles.
