As a human , Psychologist & former HS College & Pro Basketball Head Coach this movie is a Deep Dive into the human psyche of competition, self fulfillment, self doubt and finally the inner madness & ultimate potential of mental illness !
A warning to anyone with mental confusion of their own goals , need of approval, self doubt and an unhealthy focus on the EXTREMES he/she may be willing to go to unhealthy self destructive behaviors to reach some goal or level of accomplishment or reward !
I believe it is a good choice to not watch this movie alone and it is very important for any viewers to self examine their personal , emotional , & mental reactions to this movie !
To watch the destruction of the loss of sanity due to manipulation, abuse and fear is overwhelming to any person with a healthy self worth & mentally let alone , a somewhat unhealthy self value could be affected in a very negative way from watching this movie !
I would compare the potential mental health views created from watching the ACTUAL footage from The Holocaust to the similar damaging effects from watching this movie !!
Sincerely ,
