Further To Movies Thread...what Have Been Your Best And Worst Ptsd Movie Experiences?

[holdenmonty]

Bad one: The Hurt Locker to me it looks like some of those guys have serious PTSD issues especially the one that doesn't really care if he lives or dies
I would say American Sniper is probably good and bad because it shows him having PTSD and how it effects his family when he's home but I'm not 100% sure because I haven't seen anything other than the previews on the television and even some of the previews have triggered me so I'm not planning on going to see the movie any time soon.

I just went to see 50 Shades of Grey, which was honestly a terrible idea considering I was raped in a BDSM situation, but I did it because my boyfriend dragged me along and he didn't know better and I didn't want to explain my reasons for not wanting to see it when all my friends did. Anyway, there's a couple of scenes in the movie that reminded me of my own situation, and needless to say, I cried twice and had to get up and leave once. It took all of me to get back inside the theatre. When I finally did, my boyfriend could tell I was upset and we left about 10 minutes to the movie ending. I hated having to explain it to him, but God, that movie was trigger city for me.

I'd say Fight Club is good.....maybe not for ptsd reasons but damn if that movie didn't express a lot of what I was feeling when going through self injury recovery. All I wanted to do was fight people, get the shit beaten out of me. Guess those injuring feelings had to go somewhere.
