Guest guest Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 I had a few family members ask me if I had seen the movie a couple of years ago. Mainly they wanted to know isn't there someplace I can go to live with other people. > > > > > WOW! I just read the summary and can't wait to watch it. Is it on DVD or out > at the theaters.

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 Angel!!, I agree that it's a good movie. ne does an incredible job portraying the body movements (and lack of) of the chemically intolerant and highlighting the issues. My only objection is the ending.

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 I agree about the ending of Safe and that's why I don't ask doubting relatives to watch it. It seems to imply, although not blatantly, that MCS is a psychological disease.

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 Well I found and ordered it from amazon for about 9.00. It figures hollywood would end it that way. Kind of takes the reality out of it. I know Jenine has had problems with her family believing her so I am sure things like that don't help. I have to sympathize with all who have problems with family or friends not believing or at the least understanding. It's kind of funny, I know a person who has given me more than enough problems about this (No names needed) and now this person is more parinoid than I am about it. Hmmm Funny how that works...

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 -bummer, I hate to hear that the ending is like that. figures, its a wonder it even got out considering where this whole thing stood in 1995. maybe he would do safe 2 based on new research. it's time something was done.let me know if you come across a e-mail address for him.maybe he could just redo the ending or add revelant info. at the end of the movie. I wonder what brought him to do it in the first place?-- In , Tazin Round <unitedstatesvet@...> wrote: > > Well I found and ordered it from amazon for about 9.00.

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2006 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 Another movie, that was a comedy starring Bill Murray and Dreyfuss, always struck me as one that might be indicative of one with MCS. It's called " What About Bob? " What About Bob? is a 1991 comedy movie directed by Oz which stars Bill Murray and Dreyfuss. Murray plays Bob Wiley, a multiphobic obsessive compulsive psychiatric patient who follows his successful and egotistical psychiatrist Dr. Leo Marvin, played by Dreyfuss, on vacation. When the unstable Bob befriends the other members of the Marvin clan, it slowly drives Leo insane. Bill Murray improvised so many lines during the movie that accurate scripts couldn't be written until after shooting the scenes. This film is number 43 on Bravo's " 100 Funniest Movies " .

That is what it was presented as - he was tired of being alone, and he had " a phobia " of leaving his apartment. But if you watch the movie, Bob felt fine as long as he stayed in his apartment (with his gold fish). When he went out, he got headaches, edgy, etc. Buses, etc bothered him. When his psychiatrist went on vacation to his home on an East Coast Island, Bob followed him. And he felt great once he got there. The psychiatrist's family fell in love with Bob, as did the people of the little town. So, there was never any mention of environmental. But rent the movie, see what you think. It's a funny movie. I read somewhere that this character was based on a real person. Can't remember where I read that, or if it is true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he almost immediately felt better being on the little island. I don't know that they ever showed him going back to the city. So was it psychological or was it environmental? Rent it, if nothing else, it is very entertaining. The theme of the movie has nothing to do with environmental. But I wonder. Like I said, I think this character was based on a real person. Also, the psychiatrist's house in the movie would be my dream home. White cape cod on the water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time I watched this movie, was when I was at just about my lowest health point. I couldn't concentrate, could even multiply 3x3 in my head. My loving GP kept trying to send me to a psychiatrist, but I could feel it was physical. So yes, I think you are right about Bob portrayed as having psychological problems in the movie. (which it is just a fictional comedy movie). But I had a lot of points in that movie that I could identify with at the last time I watched it. Felt better at home, bus fumes bothered me, fresh sea air made me feel better, some friends were staying away (but was never lonely enough to carry a pet gold fish) ....and MY doctor was trying to send me for psychiatric help. Who knows. It is a very funny movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 Movie Bob reminded me of someone with panic disorder. I thought it was very funny also. One of my favorite Bill Murray movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 I think Bob in " What about Bob? " was portrayed as having a psychological problem but maybe as a mold victim you picked up on fact that he felt better in the country. I view things through my experiences with mold now. I thought he might have felt better when he got to country, since his psychiatrist was there. Also if based on real character, someone with anxiety disorder of some sort may feel better in country due to the more relaxed atmosphere. Anyway, if anyone has not seen it, check it out. Very good.
