This is a film that deals with the topics of depression, inspiration and feeling like you're not your own.

what do i think i learned from this film?
Depression can be the underlining issue of so many other things. The emptiness, the loneliness, the feeling of disconnection and chaos, can seem like it's a weight.
As an artistic person, quiet and peace sometimes kills the spirit of creativity, and only the noise of chaos can bring it back around.  There really is a very fine line between genius and madness.
Sometimes your life is just not your own.
