Great Continuation of the Story
Contains spoilers, click to show
Final Fantasy VII is probably the most played and loved FF game of all time. So a follow up story had better live up to the standard the game set. In my opinion, it did. The three antagonist...Kadaj, Yazoo and Loz are remnants and represent the qualities of Sephiroth. Sephiroth was the villain in FF VII that was defeated by Cloud and his friends. But Sephiroth did succeed in destroying the city of Midgar. There is a mysterious illness called Geostigma that has plagued people, mostly children. Cloud has contracted the illness too, and there is no known cure. What is so great about the movie is that it is a continuation of a video game. Most of the characters from the game are back as well as some new ones. The fight scenes and music are some of the best I have seen in any movie. I highly recommend you read the story from the game in some form and then watch the movie. That is the only way you can really appreciate it.

Touched with Fire is a very depressing movie. As a person diagnoses with bipolar disorder, there are touches of reality in seeing the characters dealing with mania and depression. The problem with the movie is it shows the extreme of this mental illness. The characters in mania putting their lives in danger. The family only worried about the negative aspects of the disorder. This needs to be said..not everyone with bipolar disorder acts like this. The family treating them poorly says a lot about the misunderstanding of the illness.

The story is a snapshot of all of the aspects of being bipolar. There are not medications that always work. There are not routines that can sidestep mania or depression.

On a good note, this does bring awareness to some of the bipolar geniuses throughout history. The book by psychologist Kay Redfield Jamison’s (who make a cameo appearance) 1993 Touched with Fire, is the inspiration for this movie. She shows the connection to bipolar and creativity.

When you see this movie, keep in mind, we are all weird in our own special ways. Don’t judge someone on their diagnosis or their rough times. You may miss the spark.

Well this was different. Though I liked it. It still did not get the meaning of the title much. She starts by getting a letters from an Isaac, this after she loss her memory when she get sick. She does not remember Isaac at all. She does not remember helping her friend Johnny out either or being their for her best friend who had a baby.


Sawyer, fines this love and learns about his grandmother illness and she learns about her grandson as well. It mainly about Katie.

Relatable story
Awesome
I was given this book for free by my request but the opinion is of my own. This book literally grabs you literally from the beginning and doesn’t let go. Marley is trying to start anew in college after dealing with bullying because of her seeing things no one else could. Suddenly she is pushed to see that just perhaps what was considered a mental illness is more real than given. Does end in a cliffhanger and I’m definitely wanting to read the rest.
