Music and description
What's with the almost constant non-music in the background of this movie? It's horrible! Why did so many movies start to incorporate this kind of awful noise as their movie soundtracks/background musics after the 80's ended? Compare this to any good 80's movie soundtracks and you can hear what I mean. If my ears could vomit, they would have. Urgh.
In the description of this movie, there is the typical worshipping of both 'politically correct' culture and the belief system called "psychiatry". Come on. It's a split-personality, they say so in the movie! Why can't the imdb page of a movie be faithful TO THE MOVIE instead?
The synopsis states: "A nice-guy cop with dissociative identity disorder must protect a woman on the run from a corrupt ex-boyfriend and his associates."
Really? Do they really say in the movie that he has "dissociative identity disorder"? No. They don't say that. They talk english, not psychiatric legalese in the movie. This movie is from the time before the Politically-Correct folk changed all the terms, definitions and tested, long-time used and perfectly good descriptions and descriptive words into a lot of bull5h1t that's counter-intuitive and difficult to automatically comprehend.
Example: Anyone can get what "manic-depressive" means. Sometimes the individual is a bit manic (energetic, optimistic, hopeful, etc.), and sometimes a bit depressive (hopeless, in despair, tired, etc). Very easy term to get. They changed it to "bipolar disorder" (they sure LOVE that word "disorder", don't they?) Now, when you first hear this term, do you immediately get what it means? No, you don't. You have to know it means 'manic-depressive'. Ah, so polarisation.. bipolar.. yeah, ok, makes sense. Although not as much sense as 'manic-depressive'. And people follow this pathetically .. they don't ever raise questions like "Why would this term have to be changed?", they just obey blindly. Amazing.
The same exact thing happened here. This movie states that it's "split personality", "a schitzo" (that's what 'schitzophrenic' used to mean - now it means 'when we just want to label someone crazy, that's a scientific-sounding word we will use - without any proof or basis - when we say it, people will believe it, and it will sound professional').
Who the heck ever calls a split personality/multiple personalities a "dissociative identity disorder"? Does that sound like normal human talk to you? Who talks like that?
Well, I have only scratched the surface here - the problem is much wider than one movie, one imdb page description, a couple of psychiatric terms - it happens in many other areas of life as well, and it's a global phenomenon. You should hear some of the other countries' translations of 'bipolar disorder'.. those terminologies are absolutely insane. I can try to translate one back to english: "Two-directional mind-mood-disruption" ..
Why do people put up with this 5h1t? Why does everyone (including imdb) automatically follow whatever the Politically-Correct crowd demands? Why do people use those 'redefined definitions', eventhough people should already KNOW it's just double-talk, newspeak, etc. straight from 1984, and there is an evil agenda behind it?
Just say NO, and return the description to the normal, common sense format! Don't worry, the emperor doesn't have clothes at all, and you are not unsophisticated if you say it out loud!
