super a Apr 22 Most disturbing. A good story, but perhaps not for those suffering depression. Then again, it might offer insights that might help. A warning to parents who are too wrapped up in careers and social life to even notice their kids.

It shows the most accurate portrayal of mental health that I have seen thus far in film. It discusses mental health and its relation to technology; while the internet in general can be seen as an escape from reality, this goes deeper. Its depictions of the virtual world and the characters' dialogue describing this reality suggests how glamorized it is. This includes what we could call our antagonist, Slywia. She glamorizes and romanticizes self destructive behavior, and whether she is aware of it or not, hurts Dominik's mental health in doing do. When he is mentally weak, which is caused by bullying in school and a cold family, she turns him towards her own unhealthy coping mechanisms. As we watch him slowly begin to trust her poor advice and beliefs, we also watch his mental health deteriorate even more. A former member of the Suicide Room points out that she is manipulative and deceitful; it is up to the viewer to determine whether these negative traits are something she intends or not. Either way, it effects Dominik in negative ways. His tolerance towards it is shown through their romantic relationship and his infatuation towards Sylwia. This can depict how we seek comfort in groups with those that have poor mental health, although there is comfort in knowing we are not alone, there is plenty of room for encouragement of self-destructive behavior to occur, especially when the main focus is depression. Technology also plays a large role in this film. One of the first scenes shows a video on the internet of a person self-harming, a heart cut into their arm. Right off the bat, this suggests the romanticization of self destructive behavior. Social media is a large cause of Dominik becoming self conscious about his sexuality and reputation at school. Even when his death is filmed, it connects to the first video being shown. Others comment nealy meaningless things, not knowing the depth of Dominik's death, or even pointing out that it was suicide. There were still shallow comments that were mysteriously worded, similar to the one in the first video. Overall, this movie is a good critique on social media/the internet and its effect on mental health. Good character development. It is sad.
