Another Zoloft Case?

More on what Night is talking about and why you are not listening

As the website SSRI Stories profusely documents, there are literally hundreds of examples of mass shootings, murders and other violent episodes that have been committed by individuals on psychiatric drugs over the past three decades. The number of cases is staggering, but the media has completely failed to generate a national conversation about the issue due to its obsession with exploiting mass shootings to demonize the second amendment.

In the aftermath of revelations that Germanwings co-pilot Andreas Lubitz deliberately crashed the airliner, there has also been complete silence amongst the establishment press as to whether psychiatric drugs played a role, despite Lubitz’ known history of depression.

Pharmaceutical giants who produce drugs like Zoloft, Prozac and Paxil spend around $2.4 billion dollars a year on direct-to-consumer television advertising every year. By running negative stories about prescription drugs, networks risk losing tens of millions of dollars in ad revenue, which is undoubtedly one of the primary reasons why the connection is habitually downplayed or ignored entirely.

And where is a quote by Night?

[–] Lester_Burnham_Risen 10 years ago

The fact you closed your eyes when he showed the big bottle of Zoloft

when has a director EVER explained his movie?

[–] Stratego 10 years ago

You said MORE on what Night is talking about. I don't see Night talking about anything. Give me a quote.

[–] Lester_Burnham_Risen 10 years ago

"Talking" in his own way dingbat about what americans are NOT allowed to talk about.

for direct talking see what they did to Michael Moore

[–] Stratego 10 years ago

Dingbat? You're the fncking psycho here. Again, you've never provided a quote by Night to prove that this is the message of his film.

Guns are also featured in this movie, even more so than drugs, you think he was making a statement about that?

[–] Lester_Burnham_Risen 10 years ago

Guns are the "cover story" as per Floyd in 2001 ASO

No quote by Night.

The boy who accidentally shot himself was on Zoloft?

[–] Lester_Burnham_Risen 10 years ago

accidentally shot himself

That was a comment by Night on the crazy american notion that suburban american father NEEDED to and is ALLOWED to keep a loaded gun in his home.

he did similar in Unbreakable

No, you just can't change everything to fit your own theories. You said the movie wants to point out there's a relation to shootings and psychiatric drugs. This scene should be related to that as well. This movie is not about the second amendment.

[–] Lester_Burnham_Risen 10 years ago

This movie is not about the second amendment.

who says????

Night made a movie in which he advanced several matters in relation to the total SICKNESS of american "culture".

so you seem to have accepted the Zoloft gig but have gone in to bat for the government on another issue

I repeat, show me a QUOTE.

Not MY government to bat for. This movie isn't about the relation between violence and psychriatric drugs either, but you're theory about the second amdendment is even more insane.

[–] Lester_Burnham_Risen 10 years ago

but you're [sic] theory about the second

So that [the fact you use you're to mean your] answers the "show me a quote from Night" question.

He was so appalled at the lousy american "education" system [which as you confirm spread to your own little corner of the world] that he wrote a book called "I Got Schooled" to explain just how BAD is that system.

You should read it IF you can get a copy [american govt restricts the publication]

[–] Stratego 10 years ago

the fact you use you're to mean your

Actually, that happened because I hastily and carelessly changed that sentence just before posting (you apparently failed to notice my misspelling of "amendment" or "psychiatric"), but I'll forgive YOUR mistake of presuming differently. I do challenge you to converse with me in my language, though.

He was so appalled at the lousy american "education" system [which as you confirm spread to your own little corner of the world] that he wrote a book called "I Got Schooled" to explain just how BAD is that system.

Presumptions, presumptions. That's exactly what's wrong with your interpretation of this movie and life in general. I don't know how many times you presumed I was American, on prescribed medication, working for the pharmaceutical industry, etc.

But nice diversion, just show me an actual quote by Night.

So is there any chance in the world they STOP with TV and don't also throw a few dollars at goons to spread the word on forums like this?

Case closed

Nobody needs to be payed to spread the word that you're a lunatic. You're doing a fine job all on your own.

[–] kmags84 10 years ago

He shows the Zoloft as a way of showing the wifes depression. Married to a psychiatrist, yet she's taking Zoloft and NOT talking to her husband?? Of course he's dead but that's a clue to him being so. I'd say that scene and the moment she grabs the bill at their Anniversary are the 2 that, when I originally saw it, had me thinking more about what was going on. M. Night put so many clues in this. Not sure if its as big of a deal as you're making it. If you're a psychiatrist, how would YOU feel if you saw that?

[–] GhostRiver 10 years ago

What an utterly absurd original post. Zoloft?! Hilarious. Take a step back and look what you're saying. Just bc this is an issue in your life doesn't mean it's Night's thesis in 1998.

[–] MrsTeller 10 years ago

Your posts in this forum are ridiculous. You might want to seek some help because you are not right.

Zoloft might be an issue but that is not what this movie is about. If you want to talk about that, the message board for TSS is not the right place.

[–] mference123 9 years ago

You're listening to stuff that is not there in the movie.

It is the wife taking Zoloft, and she if she was performing any mass murders or violent episodes in the movie, I have missed it on repeated viewings. So it seems unlikely that Mr Night is hearing what you hear.

I understand. Thank you for telling me. -The masked bandit

[–] mference123 9 years ago

The funny thing is that I agree with you about the dangers of Big Pharma, and anti-depressants passed out like candy at Halloween.

I'm just saying that this message is nowhere in the movie.

Look up the side effects of Zoloft and you will see the message is right THROUGH the movie.

Go back and see my posts if you do not recognize them

Are you, by any chance, on Zoloft, sir?

[–] Lester_Burnham_Risen 9 years ago

No, the very reason the american govt loves Sertraline is because they dumb the youth down and keep them from complaining.

The drug they hated was LSD as it gave perception which is why they banned it along with Professor Leary and locked him up.

Night cleverly brings in the govt at the start by way of the shrink is given an AWARD by govt and it is for "helping" young boys - so Night also introduces his key word of help=give sertraline [and we see that in this movie it is Zoloft].

You should [if not on Zoloft] be able to track "couldn't help me" through the movie to understand it.

All very clever as always by Night

Try changing your "meds" from Zoloft to LSD so you can follow
