Might I say, I LOVE this. I'm a psychology major and plenty of people seem to think that all schizophrenics are crazy and dangerous. They act like schizophrenics can't live perfectly content lives ... and a movie like this shows just how scared and anxious a majority of people with schizophrenia actually are. It also shows how they want the same exact thing as every other person - to live their lives. We ALL have obstacles that come and go in our lives ... and struggles with mental health is something that EVERYBODY goes through. Schizophrenics just go through it more than others ... but they're NOT "insane" or "freaks." I once had a guy friend with schizophrenia and he told me that he couldn't believe just how kind I was towards him ... because he was SO used to being avoided and picked on for his disorder. All I did was say back, "You're not crazy. You're just sick." ... And that meant SO MUCH to him. I hope to see this movie one day, most definitely!! The message seems very powerful and realistic!!
I didn't realize how harmful stigmas were for mental health until I was hospitalized. Some people literally think they're like asylums. Naw fam, I came back to school a week later and everyone was like "wtf?"
I'm not sure how bad are good this movie is going to be, but it is nice to see a depiction of schizophrenia in a movie that isn't used as an excuse to explain why somebody is a murderer
I'm majoring in psychology and I can confirm that not ALL schizophrenics are "insane" or "dangerous." In fact, a majority of them are actually scared and anxious.
@Sarah Young I hoping you're a troll but either way you needs some serious help. Also race isn't really a thing. It was just made by idiots like you to put POC down.
Sarah Young “The white genocide conspiracy theory is the belief that immigration by people of color, falling white birth rates, and the promotion of multiculturalism are all part of a deliberate plot to destroy the “white race.” It is espoused by many white nationalist and white supremacist individuals and organizations, who often conflate or combine it with the similar “Great Replacement” conspiracy theory. “ source : bridge.georgetown.edu/research/factsheet-white-genocide-conspiracy-theory/ . fun fact: it is racist. for you to teach and tell your child “you cannot date that person because they aren’t your skin color” This trailer had NOTHING to do about race, but of course you had to... when you could’ve just kept it to yourself & moved along.
I just wanted to hug Adam every 5 minutes through out the movie. I cant imagine what the people with the condition go through everyday. As for the movie.. I LOVED IT
I just saw this movie like 10 min ago, and I must say that it was AMAZING. They did a great job at not only portraying someone with a mental illness, but also what it truly means to support someone with one. I also appreciated how they represented God/Jesus and how Christians SHOULD be supportive of others. Definitely a movie for anyone who wants a better understanding, or anyone who likes the ‘coming of age’ genre in general
Wow! Just finished watching this amazing movie. And to think I was about to skip it before deciding to watch the trailer, which led me to this comment section, which in turn led me to watch it. I'm thankful to have read your comment. Without it I would have missed out so again, thank you @The Walking Mic.
I actually have schizophrenia. It’s terrifying upsetting because most people don’t understand and you can’t make it stop or go away. It’s nice to see a character with it who isn’t considered a serial killer or anything like that. We are usually more dangerous towards ourselves than toward anyone else.
I have schizophrenia. I was diagnosed as a child which is rare unless its severe. I can say that everyone hallucinations can be diffrent but it shows the experience and feelings accurately. Its hard to deal with it and people in life certainly don't make it easier or try to understand. Im glad theyre coming out with a movie that accurately portrays schizophrenics as people and not monsters.
CJ Purdy liquid kitten says it perfectly. Everyone is different but the emotions and experience of it is. The things I see hear and feel are typically bad. But some people have good or a mixture. Some people have them all the time and some don’t. I do. Some people just hear voices. I see hear and feel them.
Alex Lesane wow that’s really fascinating, you seem like such an amazing person, I’m definitely looking forward to learn more about it and understand it better because I don’t want to be judgmental about something I know so little about!
It's based off the book and its OK, she's real 😂 if you want a story with that kind of twist I'd recommend Made You Up it has a similar premise but doesn't have a movie yet
Ok that part where they were at the dance and he started seeing thing so he put his head on her shoulder and held her tight was so pure🥺 I’m definitely going to watch this
I’ve suffered from schizophrenia since I could remember and let me say this movie is LONG overdue. A lot of people don’t understand why one would keep to themselves or not want to get into a relationship
Yea pretty much, guy/girl has a disorder/illness, guy/girl isolates, Meets guy/girl, they fall in love, she/he doesn’t want to hurt him/ her so he/she pushes her/him away, “give me a chance to love y-“ Yada yada, you seen one love story you’ve seen most of them. Only thing new in this is the schizophrenia which is really interesting
This looks promising! I wish they hadn’t shown the whole movie though lol. My first therapist was schizophrenic and I remember he told me he was bullied in school as a kid and sometimes his voices would make fun of the bullies and it would make him laugh and the bullies would ask what he’s laughing at but he would just walk away. I thought that was an adorable memory.
Honestly I love that so much it's like having a squad to mentally back you up 😂😂. It's so nice cuz schizophrenia in movies always portrays the voices and the people they see as bad/evil. The voices are telling them to kill or murder stuff like that. So it's freaking cool that your therapist had voices cheering him/her/it up
Awww this looks so good. I've never watched a movie from the perspective of someone with Schizophrenia. So I'm interested to see what I learn from this!
As a psychology student, I cannot tell you how refreshing it is to have schizophrenia depicted in a respecful, humane, and realistic light. The book really did justice to the reality of mental illness and blew me away. Hollywood and media has a tendency to glamorize mental illnesses, especially in the field of abnormal psychology and psychological disorders, and watching this trailer had me on the edge of my seat. I can't wait to watch this adaptation!!
@@moonsetting I completely understand where you're coming from and you have every right to be; film and social media has been feeding off of mental illness tropes and labeling it as trendy for years now, not to mention the countless TV shows that glorify and normalize depression, anxiety, and other psychological disorders as being quirky. This book in particular was a breath of fresh air and I really hope the film stays true to the novel.
"When you have cancer, people are sympathetic. They feel something for you, and people even hold races to raise money for your cure. It’s different when people are afraid of what you’ve got, because then you get some of the sympathy but none of the support. They don’t wish you ill-they just want you as far away from them as possible. " (quote from the book) This mind set of people should be changed. people should not treat differently when someone has a mental illness. We are all human beings and we all should treat everyone equally.
This is truly sad, I remember years ago as a child my mother just found out that she was bipolar and she was so concerned that I would think differently of her and she told me not to tell any of my friends because she thought their parents would be wary of her. But even though I was kinda too young to understand I made sure she knew that it's okay.
@@Justifiedsinner220 She's still living with it but she's definitely more comfortable talking about it with me because I'm studying psychology in college (and I believe that I may be bipolar as well but I haven't been properly diagnosed yet). I now have a stepfather who has more sever bipolar disorder than her so she kinda understands what he goes through, it is hard to grow up with that but she's always working really hard and I love her for that.
Right ?! Sometimes I think they display it all to draw people in fear the central idea n’ basic gist won’t be enough. Like back in day they explained main idea had faith people would like the basic concept to come watch the detailed full movie. With movies being so quickly produce, and lets face it, usually containing pretty similar elements...I feel the trailers have display more details (giving the movie away) but desperately trying to stand out and draw folks in.
I know that’s what me and my family are always saying but I do want to know sort of what it’s like. They should make 2 trailers, one like this and one where they don’t spoil everything in the trailer
Talking about schizophrenia in a healthy manner by not making him seem like a psycho path and an interracial relationship? I'm game!!! Just let me know the release date😂😂😎
Just finished watching this movie. My mother also had schizophrenia. Glad she is doing fine now. And to those who's family or friends are diagnosed do watch this movie and help them. All they need is us to be around to understand and love them.
For those who didn’t know, this movie is actually based on a book(it says so at the end). It is an amazing book and i hope they do the story justice. If you’re interested in this story i would recommend you read it as well as watch the movie.
Agreed! I really hope the movie producers and director doesn’t butcher the intent and meaning behind accurately portraying a mental illness with strong negative depictions amongst the general public, despite not being as “dangerous” as the media has portrayed before.
FINALLY IVE BEEN LOOKING FIR SOMEONE WHI HAS READ THIS it’s an incredible book but it does seem like they changed a lot already I don’t really mind the ethnicity change in both of them but even the opening scene they really made it way more over the top than it was
Just watched this movie and it is beautiful. It's one of those movies that actually sheds light on mental illness instead of shying away from it. It is real, funny, sad, and just moving. As someone who deals with mental illness and is tired of seeing countless movies/shows make a mockery of it or give misinformation for "drama and entertainment," I related to this movie. Plus all the performances were amazing, especially Charlie Plummer.
I don’t cry because of movies EVER but just the trailer has me crying. This is like watching a movie of my own life. I struggled with hallucinations all through elementary and middle school until I had my psychotic break and was hospitalized. After that hospitalization I changed schools because of all of the rumors floating around about me but that didn’t work because the rumors were just the same at my new school. I had a hard time getting close to people because I was scared they would leave me when they found out about my illness. I recently fell in love with the most amazing person on this planet and it’s hard because I’m scared that my illness will push this person away but just like the girl in this film, he loves me for who I am and can see past my illness. Absolutely crying.
Just watched this. The end left me in tears. The movie was raw, candid, and did not shy away from showing the battles fought in co-existing with the disorder. I hope this starts the trend of creating more movies that approach mental illness with a frank honesty.
Sooooo basically the trailer said he has a normal life, has an episode, finds out he’s schizophrenic, has a hard time adjusting and living with his changing environments and his meds, doesn’t cook anymore?, finds a friend, falls in love, breaks it off, finds love again with the same girl, and quits his meds, now he has the hang of his new normal? Why do trailers have to spoil the entire movie 🥺
@@hannahbittner8741 look, I'm an avid reader, I LOVE to read. But I do not believe that it is necessary for everyone to read a book before, or even after they watch the movie adaptation... most of the time (there are a few examples where the movie is so bad, that I dont want people to associate that story with the awful adaption... that only happens rarely though.) Anyway, reading is not a hobby for everyone. But it is definitely a hobby that I've personally enjoyed for years
@@Slow_Internet So? Hannah was just pointing out that, if a movie is based in a book, they don't have to hide anything because most of the interested people probably read it already
I watched this for the first time yesterday and fell in love with this movie and how the how mental illness is actually explained and understood… bravo to the actors and director and writer. Everyone involved for not making mental illness look soooo horrible
I was diagnosed with schizophrenia at age 16. I didn’t tell people for so long because I didn’t want people to compare me to a “psycho killer” or something like that. It’s so nice that I can relate to this movie.
wait. wait this is so cute actually. its such a pleasant surprise to see a film where the person with mental illnesses (in this case schizophrenia) is not put as a villain or a murderer.
As a schizophrenic girl this is pretty true to my experience I did really see words all over the psych ward walls and on the tables. I did stand in the middle of the street and every time I said a mistruth ALL the street lights and lights of all the cars would switch off and when I told the truth they would all come on. I have felt earthquakes happening that made me totally sick and felt like the end of the world but only I could feel it. I have walked on a path and an Asian boy busker appeared he was a phantom with those most otherworldly incredible singing I ever heard in my life filling the street, I have looked on the floor and seen mermaids in huge visions and visions of different time periods on the ground too. I have been suddenly able to sing in Arabic with some magical quality to it, I have heard loud ancient music coming out of all the cars. When people tel me this film is too dramatic and far fetched, I don’t get that, because my episodes were all impossible magic. I have a mystical outlook and treat it is as it was known for thousands of years, as a spiritual illness or in my culture a spiritual emergence, it just means your liminal and can see in between worlds, that you have sharper senses into the spirit world, nothing more. This society has become so hyperrational and masculine it can’t bear a spiritual view or the truth snd medicalises everything. Psychiatry ignores thousands of years of spiritual traditions that explain these states.
YES! I’ve started to realize that so so so many things deemed to be “illnesses” in this culture, are not inherently so. Yes schizophrenia makes life difficult when you are trying to fit into western society that has no room for special people. But there are plenty of societies that have and do experience and hold schizophrenia as a gift and power. Those cultures are not “delusion” or “confused.” To say so is eurocentric and colonial. So sad to see our people of spiritual power be cast to the streets. That says a lot about this culture… that’s why were killing the earth too. No one wants to open their eyes, or their minds, or their hearts! :(
They BETTER include his stepfather. I loved this book and their relationship was one of my favorite parts. Also he had a whole other best friend at the school too. I really loved his relationship with maya, but that wasn’t all there was to this book and I really hope they don’t make it just about him and maya when there was more to the story.
I completely agree with you. I hope they don't only focus on maya and adam relationship when there's more to it. I also like adam and his step dad paul's relationship and there is a place in book where paul considers adam as his own son. Even though adam sometimes being rude his step dad, his step dad doesn't care about it. Also I like his best friend dwight. He is one of a kind friend that he has.
Just so you all know, this movie is about the book "Words on the Bathroom Walls" by Julia Walton. Its an amazing read and I completely recommend. I haven't watched the movie but the book really is amazing.

A wholesome teen romance story with trippy visuals (that look great), no cringy dialogue, and tackles issues with the mentally handicaped...what sorcery is this? *Can I hug the filmakers for originallity.💜*
2:49 gives me chills, this movie is showing how even if someone is going through something hard they still have the right to love 🥺 the way he hugged her kind of like he was a scared little boy 😭😭😭
RainyDays2 Bro, just go to the library. Any pdf file or audio file you find for free online is illegal, which is fine to do if it’s a mainstream TV/MOVIE, but authors dont get as much love, rep, or exposure as media.
Baby Cat Libraries are open. You just have to wear a mask and check in. Not just that, but they have online apps where you can check books out for a limited time. Or you can get an e-book, or purchase the audiobook. Why thieve from a struggling artist/author, who doesn’t get as much exposure or money? Edit: also you used that meme wrong, lmao. How foolish
AnnaSophia Robb, Charlie Plummer, Taylor Russell, and many others have delivered such immersive performances in this movie. A very accurate yet not too subtle representation of schizophrenia in the media. They're often labelled as crazy, while that may be true in some way, they do not mean to cause harm to other people or their loved ones. Thoroughly enjoyed this-well, technically speaking, I guess it's more informative than entertaining in any sense of the word there is.
I read this book my freshman year and I am beyond thrilled that there going to make it a movie!! It’s still hands down one of my favorite books I’ve read.
As someone who’s spent a lot of time during high school in and out of mental hospitals, it’s nice to see a depiction of mental illness a) from the perspective of the person with the disorder and b) where it’s not dehumanizing or monsterizing. It can be hard to hold the balance of your life and goals and ambitions when it feels like there’s a huge weight you can’t even talk about. During some hospitalizations, feeling like I was crazy literally made my depression 2x worse - and I’ve known way too many people who felt the same way. I’m glad to see a movie like this because it shows the internal conflict and our own reactions to our conditions, not just what other people see. I’m really hoping this movie will shed a lot of light on the feelings of people with schizophrenia -and other disorders, to some extent -very well. I just saw this as an ad on insta but now I’m Really looking forward to this and Need to read the book.
I love movies like this because I have cancer and I really need this for some reason. And this looks like something I need to watch. Who knows it might give me hope😌
i just watched the movie and....wow....this is incredible, it's well written and you will fall in love with the characters honestly i highly recommend it
Many people here said that the trailer contained the entire plot, but you can't just say you understand something because you know something. Watch the movie, people. It is so much worth it.
My best friend has this. But his is triggered out of PTSD. He...has so many talents. (‘: I love him. Literally. Watching him go through things like this makes me cry. Because I want him to remember how much he is loved. Especially by me. So giving him the best by being patient and ect. Idk how else to explain it. I did a shit ton of research.
I want to see this very badly now!!!! So genuinely romantic and the best part... it hints about the healing power of Confession and that your Catholic priests will always be there for you!!!!
To both of you; in some places movie theaters are starting to open back up again and they are most likely social distancing, making sure everything is clean; etc.
NewSallyPurpleYT : : yeah but people like to take off there shoes on the chairs and that’s not sanitary I don’t know people have shown they can’t handle themselves the 1st time stuff opened up
This trailer came on tv and took me by surprise. I grew up with a schizophrenic parent, and having to watch time and time again schizophrenics be portrayed as crazed/dangerous/murderous characters in movies/shows always bothered me. There are so many people out there in the world with this mental illness who, on their medication, live good lives. It is chronic and very hard to live with, but they still exist and do not deserve the negative stigma which Hollywood has placed over them in the past. I look forward to seeing this and hope it sheds some light and fair awareness on the true nature of schizophrenics, that they deserve compassion, understanding, and love.
This hits hard because my uncle had schizophrenia and he almost committed suicide. He was alone for a moment in his apartment and suddenly he said he saw the FBI crashing in from the walls and the roof flew open and a helicopter was circling the sky. He said that the microwave blew up and the world around him was on fire. Then he took the pills so he wouldn't have to die from the fire. I'm so sorry Uncle it took me years to understand you.
I just saw this movie with my husband and older son…. Everything was perfectly explained and narrated. These great actors showed the sadly reality of what schizophrenics live everyday! 😔💔 Please let us all be understanding, respectful and kind to each other! 💝
@@SP-df1nm I know of the condition but I don’t know anyone with it or have it myself. However, if anyone does have it, I hope they watch it and see if this is a realistic observation of what it is really like. Other than that, I do feel that I have a better understanding of it and hope this spreads awareness!
A graphic and intensely moving portrayal of 17 year old Adam's struggle with schizophrenia and his attempts to deny and hide his illness from friends and family. Visual and auditory hallucinations at times overwhelm the scene but thankfully, in the film, are in bite sized chunks. I cannot fathom an hour or a day of this to say nothing of weeks, months and potentially years. Andy Garcia plays the priest at the private Catholic school where Adam was sent to finish his senior year and realizes (almost too late) that Adam is not just being disrespectful or flippant in their interactions and he steps up to the plate and commits to care and to try to understand. The film is rated PG-13 because of the depictions of what it is like to live with mental illness and I believe there are valuable lessons here for most teens and adults.
Might I say, I LOVE this. I'm a psychology major and plenty of people seem to think that all schizophrenics are crazy and dangerous. They act like schizophrenics can't live perfectly content lives ... and a movie like this shows just how scared and anxious a majority of people with schizophrenia actually are.

Right!?! Like it literally feels like I just watched the movie.

This looks promising! I wish they hadn’t shown the whole movie though lol.

Omg, that's awesome!
Loll I bet that got them to shut up
Honestly I love that so much it's like having a squad to mentally back you up 😂😂. It's so nice cuz schizophrenia in movies always portrays the voices and the people they see as bad/evil. The voices are telling them to kill or murder stuff like that. So it's freaking cool that your therapist had voices cheering him/her/it up
I loved your comment❤️
they didn't show the whole movie, there's alot more than that in the film
This trailer told the whole story 😂 definitely going to watch this
The movie is really sad I want to hug him when his feeling down. This movie really hits home :'(
If anyone is interested in this movie, I recommend you read the book
is she real
@@Cam-yv1ox what do you mean?
Ramen Noodle Stalker i’m just hoping that she’s not fabricated in his mind 🥺
@@Cam-yv1ox according to the book (spoiler ahead)
she's not but the movie could be different so I don't know
Ramen Noodle Stalker yes she was right? i’m so sure she was real
ok well now we all basically watched the entire movie so whens the sequel?
Not even close. Believe me you’re only seeing the beginning.
@@laylal3563 yeah it almost seems like the movie in a nutshell, but still wanna watch it
Haha ikr
What's the name of this series plz
@@lacunametanoia8630 what series?
Awww this looks so good. I've never watched a movie from the perspective of someone with Schizophrenia. So I'm interested to see what I learn from this!
Look up " Beautiful MInd" it is a real life story
I highly suggest "Beautiful Mind" and "Brain on Fire." 😁😊
@@autumnemerald1019 Brain on Fire is not about schizophrenia.
The Soloist is another one. Jamie Fox plays a schizophrenia homeless man who plays the violin.
AutumnEmerald 101 her mind is on fire and it’s a true story but it’s not schiz
As a psychology student, I cannot tell you how refreshing it is to have schizophrenia depicted in a respecful, humane, and realistic light. The book really did justice to the reality of mental illness and blew me away. Hollywood and media has a tendency to glamorize mental illnesses, especially in the field of abnormal psychology and psychological disorders, and watching this trailer had me on the edge of my seat. I can't wait to watch this adaptation!!
i’m tired of people with mental illness having “damsel in distress” roles in movies. especially with this one.
@@moonsetting if you read the book you'd know that this isn't the case :)
ᄋᄂᄃᄅ okay. if i’m misunderstanding, that’s my bad. i’m just tired of Hollywood and neurotypicals profiting off of us
@@moonsetting I completely understand where you're coming from and you have every right to be; film and social media has been feeding off of mental illness tropes and labeling it as trendy for years now, not to mention the countless TV shows that glorify and normalize depression, anxiety, and other psychological disorders as being quirky. This book in particular was a breath of fresh air and I really hope the film stays true to the novel.
ᄋᄂᄃᄅ that sounds really nice, i think i will read the book. thank you for taking the time to explain it to me :) i hope you have a wonderful week!
"When you
have cancer, people are sympathetic. They feel something for you, and
people even hold races to raise money for your cure.
It’s different when people are afraid of what you’ve got, because then
you get some of the sympathy but none of the support. They don’t wish you
ill-they just want you as far away from them as possible.
"
(quote from the book)
This mind set of people should be changed. people should not treat differently when someone has a mental illness. We are all human beings and we all should treat everyone equally.
This is truly sad, I remember years ago as a child my mother just found out that she was bipolar and she was so concerned that I would think differently of her and she told me not to tell any of my friends because she thought their parents would be wary of her. But even though I was kinda too young to understand I made sure she knew that it's okay.
@@mandycane4260 How is your mom now?
@@Justifiedsinner220 She's still living with it but she's definitely more comfortable talking about it with me because I'm studying psychology in college (and I believe that I may be bipolar as well but I haven't been properly diagnosed yet). I now have a stepfather who has more sever bipolar disorder than her so she kinda understands what he goes through, it is hard to grow up with that but she's always working really hard and I love her for that.
@@mandycane4260 I hope you all get through from this situation. God bless you and your family.
@@Justifiedsinner220 thank you so much, to you and your family as well
i might watch the movie but cmon what is up with these trailers giving away the entire movie? it’s all i ever see within any trailer now
Yeah, now I'm like... "This seems cool, but it also seems like I've already watched it"
Right ?! Sometimes I think they display it all to draw people in fear the central idea n’ basic gist won’t be enough. Like back in day they explained main idea had faith people would like the basic concept to come watch the detailed full movie. With movies being so quickly produce, and lets face it, usually containing pretty similar elements...I feel the trailers have display more details (giving the movie away) but desperately trying to stand out and draw folks in.
Trueeeee
I know that’s what me and my family are always saying but I do want to know sort of what it’s like. They should make 2 trailers, one like this and one where they don’t spoil everything in the trailer
Frrr
Talking about schizophrenia in a healthy manner by not making him seem like a psycho path and an interracial relationship? I'm game!!! Just let me know the release date😂😂😎
originally july 31st, then august 7, now out in theatres august 27 (bc of corona rip) :):)
@@sophiestar4819 Thank you😊. Where I live it's supposed to come out the 21st. Hope it doesn't change again😔🤞🏾
Sophie Star it says the 21st of this month
Akilah Thompson
Is it really an “interracial” relationship if she’s dating her own race though ? Haha
She’s half white !! 💕
reina l sshh just enjoy the trailer 😌
I read this book when it first came out and I keep rereading cause it’s just so good I recommend going out and buying the book before watching this!
What is the book's title?
Jocelinne Arias Same as the movie title
@@madisonsexton2123 thanks :)
DEFINITELY GONNA BUY IT. We need more books that break stereotypes regarding mental health and romance, especially for teens :).
that’s what i’m going to do!
The movie looks good but they spoiled the entire plot with this trailer
Ikr
Exactly 1 minute would have been enough to express the movie
Literally
exactly cause it showed that he got better and was cured like they put too much in it
Yeah, I've read the book, and even I felt spoiled by the unnecessary length
Just finished watching this movie. My mother also had schizophrenia. Glad she is doing fine now. And to those who's family or friends are diagnosed do watch this movie and help them. All they need is us to be around to understand and love them.
the way he sighed his head into her shoulder when they were dancing- andjanjsnzjsjdb 🥺.
I kinda wish that they didn't include the "i love you" scene in the trailer..
Hi
Iam afroz from
yeah no one would have guessed it
Same, gives away too much
@@thewalkingmic5 plz tell me this is sarcasm
For those who didn’t know, this movie is actually based on a book(it says so at the end). It is an amazing book and i hope they do the story justice. If you’re interested in this story i would recommend you read it as well as watch the movie.
Agreed! I really hope the movie producers and director doesn’t butcher the intent and meaning behind accurately portraying a mental illness with strong negative depictions amongst the general public, despite not being as “dangerous” as the media has portrayed before.
FINALLY IVE BEEN LOOKING FIR SOMEONE WHI HAS READ THIS it’s an incredible book but it does seem like they changed a lot already I don’t really mind the ethnicity change in both of them but even the opening scene they really made it way more over the top than it was
As always they do if they make a movie based on books , it’s not likely the same ... Book was way better always 💋
@@R사 not always... most of the time, yes, but not *_always._*
I’d there a free copy of it online?
Just watched this movie and it is beautiful. It's one of those movies that actually sheds light on mental illness instead of shying away from it. It is real, funny, sad, and just moving. As someone who deals with mental illness and is tired of seeing countless movies/shows make a mockery of it or give misinformation for "drama and entertainment," I related to this movie. Plus all the performances were amazing, especially Charlie Plummer.
“Hey, I’m right here!”
I need that in my life
Now that I’ve watched the whole movie, I can’t wait for a sequel!
Frr they gave the whole movie away in the trailer 🤣🤣
Lmaoo fr i basically know everything 😀🤟🏾
1:46 song: The Chainsmokers- push my luck
Thank you 🤧
I don’t cry because of movies EVER but just the trailer has me crying. This is like watching a movie of my own life. I struggled with hallucinations all through elementary and middle school until I had my psychotic break and was hospitalized. After that hospitalization I changed schools because of all of the rumors floating around about me but that didn’t work because the rumors were just the same at my new school. I had a hard time getting close to people because I was scared they would leave me when they found out about my illness. I recently fell in love with the most amazing person on this planet and it’s hard because I’m scared that my illness will push this person away but just like the girl in this film, he loves me for who I am and can see past my illness. Absolutely crying.
Sending you love, light, and strength. You got this girl.
1:44 chile- that is RODERICK HEFFLEY!!
Is that actually him? If he's in the movie I'm watching this
anna cruz yeah that’s Devon bostick he is in this movie
Life’s Tough yeah Devon Bostick Doesn’t age 🙈
His name is Devon. Devon Bostick.
Rodrick is so damn hot
Just watched this. The end left me in tears. The movie was raw, candid, and did not shy away from showing the battles fought in co-existing with the disorder. I hope this starts the trend of creating more movies that approach mental illness with a frank honesty.
Sooooo basically the trailer said he has a normal life, has an episode, finds out he’s schizophrenic, has a hard time adjusting and living with his changing environments and his meds, doesn’t cook anymore?, finds a friend, falls in love, breaks it off, finds love again with the same girl, and quits his meds, now he has the hang of his new normal? Why do trailers have to spoil the entire movie 🥺
geedizzy it’s literally based on a book why don’t you read it
Lmaooo
@@hannahbittner8741 look, I'm an avid reader, I LOVE to read. But I do not believe that it is necessary for everyone to read a book before, or even after they watch the movie adaptation... most of the time (there are a few examples where the movie is so bad, that I dont want people to associate that story with the awful adaption... that only happens rarely though.)
Anyway, reading is not a hobby for everyone. But it is definitely a hobby that I've personally enjoyed for years
@@Slow_Internet So? Hannah was just pointing out that, if a movie is based in a book, they don't have to hide anything because most of the interested people probably read it already

IKR !!!
I KNOW IM SO EXCITED

yeah i’m not even gonna lie i was sad when he shaved his head for the 100
Time stamp
Omggg I'm here for Devon, but the movie looks soooo cute😭
I watched this for the first time yesterday and fell in love with this movie and how the how mental illness is actually explained and understood… bravo to the actors and director and writer. Everyone involved for not making mental illness look soooo horrible
I was diagnosed with schizophrenia at age 16. I didn’t tell people for so long because I didn’t want people to compare me to a “psycho killer” or something like that. It’s so nice that I can relate to this movie.
I suffer from major depression and anxiety and no one loved me until I met this boy. He loves me for me and I can relate to this a lot
wait. wait this is so cute actually. its such a pleasant surprise to see a film where the person with mental illnesses (in this case schizophrenia) is not put as a villain or a murderer.
As a schizophrenic girl this is pretty true to my experience I did really see words all over the psych ward walls and on the tables. I did stand in the middle of the street and every time I said a mistruth ALL the street lights and lights of all the cars would switch off and when I told the truth they would all come on. I have felt earthquakes happening that made me totally sick and felt like the end of the world but only I could feel it. I have walked on a path and an Asian boy busker appeared he was a phantom with those most otherworldly incredible singing I ever heard in my life filling the street, I have looked on the floor and seen mermaids in huge visions and visions of different time periods on the ground too. I have been suddenly able to sing in Arabic with some magical quality to it, I have heard loud ancient music coming out of all the cars.
When people tel me this film is too dramatic and far fetched, I don’t get that, because my episodes were all impossible magic. I have a mystical outlook and treat it is as it was known for thousands of years, as a spiritual illness or in my culture a spiritual emergence, it just means your liminal and can see in between worlds, that you have sharper senses into the spirit world, nothing more. This society has become so hyperrational and masculine it can’t bear a spiritual view or the truth snd medicalises everything. Psychiatry ignores thousands of years of spiritual traditions that explain these states.
YES! I’ve started to realize that so so so many things deemed to be “illnesses” in this culture, are not inherently so. Yes schizophrenia makes life difficult when you are trying to fit into western society that has no room for special people. But there are plenty of societies that have and do experience and hold schizophrenia as a gift and power. Those cultures are not “delusion” or “confused.” To say so is eurocentric and colonial.
So sad to see our people of spiritual power be cast to the streets. That says a lot about this culture… that’s why were killing the earth too. No one wants to open their eyes, or their minds, or their hearts! :(
They BETTER include his stepfather. I loved this book and their relationship was one of my favorite parts. Also he had a whole other best friend at the school too. I really loved his relationship with maya, but that wasn’t all there was to this book and I really hope they don’t make it just about him and maya when there was more to the story.
I completely agree with you. I hope they don't only focus on maya and adam relationship when there's more to it. I also like adam and his step dad paul's relationship and there is a place in book where paul considers adam as his own son. Even though adam sometimes being rude his step dad, his step dad doesn't care about it. Also I like his best friend dwight. He is one of a kind friend that he has.
@@Justifiedsinner220 hey this movie will be released this year?
Movie : This summer only in theaters
Me stuck in quarantine: 👁👄👁
its on amazon prime! :)
Just so you all know, this movie is about the book "Words on the Bathroom Walls" by Julia Walton. Its an amazing read and I completely recommend. I haven't watched the movie but the book really is amazing.

Literally me and my husband but it’s clinical depression. 🥺 I’m there for him no matter how bad it gets, even though he wants better for me 😞
Aw. The part where he says “you see him right?” Totally reminds me of the movie A Beautiful Mind.
i swear the main character is like a mix of chad michael murray and kj apa but with logan lerman’s voice
Oh my god you nailed it 😄😄😃
and Cillian Murphy too 😍😍😍😍
This movie is a tear jerker. It open minds to what schizophrenia is. Really love this movie
I’m so glad people are making movies that portray mental illnesses in a better light! I can’t wait to see this movie 🥰
Just finished watching this movie. It is a beautiful story and very very well made. I cannot believe how underrated this is. Whoevers here WATCH IT.
A wholesome teen romance story with trippy visuals (that look great), no cringy dialogue, and tackles issues with the mentally handicaped...what sorcery is this?
*Can I hug the filmakers for originallity.💜*
Ps: Reminds me of FX Legion...I dig it.
When does it come out? The date to be exact.
IMDB says July 31st, which is the day theaters are currently set to reopen. That could easily change again, though.
2:49 gives me chills, this movie is showing how even if someone is going through something hard they still have the right to love 🥺 the way he hugged her kind of like he was a scared little boy 😭😭😭
I really enjoyed the book can’t wait to see the movie
do you know where you can read it online or is it just hard copies from a local library???
RainyDays2 Bro, just go to the library. Any pdf file or audio file you find for free online is illegal, which is fine to do if it’s a mainstream TV/MOVIE, but authors dont get as much love, rep, or exposure as media.
Baby Cat Libraries are open. You just have to wear a mask and check in. Not just that, but they have online apps where you can check books out for a limited time. Or you can get an e-book, or purchase the audiobook. Why thieve from a struggling artist/author, who doesn’t get as much exposure or money?
Edit: also you used that meme wrong, lmao. How foolish
May jane Ik, which is why I explained that an online pdf would be illegal
This movie looks absolutely amazing. Its one of the only ads i dont skip when i get it.
AnnaSophia Robb, Charlie Plummer, Taylor Russell, and many others have delivered such immersive performances in this movie. A very accurate yet not too subtle representation of schizophrenia in the media. They're often labelled as crazy, while that may be true in some way, they do not mean to cause harm to other people or their loved ones. Thoroughly enjoyed this-well, technically speaking, I guess it's more informative than entertaining in any sense of the word there is.
By far one of the most honest depictions of a mental illness, truly enjoy it. Also the colors and the Van Gogh reference!
I Pray Who ever reads this becomes successful. God bless you💓
Honestly I love this trailer,can't wait for the movie ♡
Finally a movie about a mental disorder (other than OCD or PTSD) and not about someone dying from cancer.
2:49
This scene broke me. I could almost feel all of Adam's pain and sadness when he hugged Maya. Damn, this movie looks good
this book is so good. im excited for the adaptation
I read this book my freshman year and I am beyond thrilled that there going to make it a movie!! It’s still hands down one of my favorite books I’ve read.
Why does Adam look like a western version of hyunjin to me
I thought the exact same thing bro
When i first saw the trailer i noticed that they do look very similar😂
THATS WHAT IT IS! I couldn’t put my finger on it
YOOOO I cant unsee it now
OH MY- CHWIDJWKSJKWK
As someone who’s spent a lot of time during high school in and out of mental hospitals, it’s nice to see a depiction of mental illness a) from the perspective of the person with the disorder and b) where it’s not dehumanizing or monsterizing. It can be hard to hold the balance of your life and goals and ambitions when it feels like there’s a huge weight you can’t even talk about. During some hospitalizations, feeling like I was crazy literally made my depression 2x worse - and I’ve known way too many people who felt the same way. I’m glad to see a movie like this because it shows the internal conflict and our own reactions to our conditions, not just what other people see. I’m really hoping this movie will shed a lot of light on the feelings of people with schizophrenia -and other disorders, to some extent -very well. I just saw this as an ad on insta but now I’m Really looking forward to this and Need to read the book.
I love movies like this because I have cancer and I really need this for some reason. And this looks like something I need to watch. Who knows it might give me hope😌
*highly recommend reading the book before this comes out !*
i just watched the movie and....wow....this is incredible, it's well written and you will fall in love with the characters honestly i highly recommend it
where did u watch it?
@@choisanismine it’s now on Netflix
Finally a movie that showcases schizophrenia instead of demonising it!!!!
I'd watch anything with Taylor Russell on it 😂❤️
Many people here said that the trailer contained the entire plot, but you can't just say you understand something because you know something.
Watch the movie, people. It is so much worth it.
the book was so good! i’m excited to see how the movie turns out!
My best friend has this. But his is triggered out of PTSD. He...has so many talents. (‘: I love him. Literally. Watching him go through things like this makes me cry. Because I want him to remember how much he is loved. Especially by me. So giving him the best by being patient and ect. Idk how else to explain it. I did a shit ton of research.
this caught my eye and i didn’t realize that i was watching it through the preview screen on my homepage until the end lol
I want to see this very badly now!!!! So genuinely romantic and the best part... it hints about the healing power of Confession and that your Catholic priests will always be there for you!!!!
I love everything about the movie. I've been rooting for Charlie Plummer's talent since King Jack. He's great!
Because “only in theatres” is going to work so well with the current state of the global pandemic 😐
Zoe Akin-Amland that’s what I was thinking this movie sounds so good but with the pandemic I can’t go to the movies safely.
To both of you; in some places movie theaters are starting to open back up again and they are most likely social distancing, making sure everything is clean; etc.
NewSallyPurpleYT : : yeah but people like to take off there shoes on the chairs and that’s not sanitary I don’t know people have shown they can’t handle themselves the 1st time stuff opened up
AveryPlays_YT; people will do that but then after the movie is over they would clean all of the chairs that people sat in social distancing.
NewSallyPurpleYT : : i don’t know Better be safe than sorry
My trying to see if that was Zendaya in the thumbnail: 👀👄👀
i love you're name omg 😂🙈
Lmao me too
Omg your name is everything
For all of you interested in this movie, I highly recommend you read the book. It’s amazing
This trailer came on tv and took me by surprise. I grew up with a schizophrenic parent, and having to watch time and time again schizophrenics be portrayed as crazed/dangerous/murderous characters in movies/shows always bothered me. There are so many people out there in the world with this mental illness who, on their medication, live good lives. It is chronic and very hard to live with, but they still exist and do not deserve the negative stigma which Hollywood has placed over them in the past. I look forward to seeing this and hope it sheds some light and fair awareness on the true nature of schizophrenics, that they deserve compassion, understanding, and love.
This is the best movie I've ever SEEN ! please watch it
I read this book for a report in my English class this year and I absolutely loved it!! So glad it’s being made into a movie
This hits hard because my uncle had schizophrenia and he almost committed suicide. He was alone for a moment in his apartment and suddenly he said he saw the FBI crashing in from the walls and the roof flew open and a helicopter was circling the sky. He said that the microwave blew up and the world around him was on fire. Then he took the pills so he wouldn't have to die from the fire.
I'm so sorry Uncle it took me years to understand you.
Love that they went with an integrated couple.
Also he looks and sounds just like young Chad Michael Murray! Like wow!
Thought I was the only one who sees the resemblance
I just saw this movie with my husband and older son…. Everything was perfectly explained and narrated. These great actors showed the sadly reality of what schizophrenics live everyday! 😔💔
Please let us all be understanding, respectful and kind to each other! 💝
Still reading the book.. i am on page 100 of 206. Wow this book is so far amazing... need to finish the book before movie comes.
finally a person who isn’t a killer with schizophrenia. someone who can actually portray people like us 😌
I’ve watch the movie and I absolutely loved it! Had me in tears - both sad and happy! Highly recommended you won’t regret it.
Just curious, do you have experience with schizo or have you heard of it before?
@@SP-df1nm I know of the condition but I don’t know anyone with it or have it myself. However, if anyone does have it, I hope they watch it and see if this is a realistic observation of what it is really like. Other than that, I do feel that I have a better understanding of it and hope this spreads awareness!
A graphic and intensely moving portrayal of 17 year old Adam's struggle with schizophrenia and his attempts to deny and hide his illness from friends and family. Visual and auditory hallucinations at times overwhelm the scene but thankfully, in the film, are in bite sized chunks. I cannot fathom an hour or a day of this to say nothing of weeks, months and potentially years. Andy Garcia plays the priest at the private Catholic school where Adam was sent to finish his senior year and realizes (almost too late) that Adam is not just being disrespectful or flippant in their interactions and he steps up to the plate and commits to care and to try to understand. The film is rated PG-13 because of the depictions of what it is like to live with mental illness and I believe there are valuable lessons here for most teens and adults.
Where can I watch it?
We really need a film like this to normalize the condition. So many mental illnesses are seen as taboo still 😢
This looks like one of the most heart warming and cutest movies to ever exist
