with Al Pacino, Hilary Swank
Directed by: Christopher NolanMurder Mystery / thriller set in Alaska
I thought this film had some --gripping-- moments. Robin Williams as the murder suspect. He creates a convincing psycho/disturbed bad guy personna in this one.
It's been a while since I've seen it. I'll probably see if I can't watch again.

At the risk of over-sharing, I have struggled with this beast for many years. It is relentless - a voice in the mind - "you don't deserve this", "if only they knew"... Every success is undermined and every failure / slight / disappointment becomes overwhelming evidence that one does not deserve happiness and that it would be so much better to not be here anymore. Drugs and alcohol seem like they numb the pain, but it only makes it worse.
To anyone out there who feels this way - you are NOT alone. If not for yourself, then for those who love you - your family - your friends ... seek help, buy a bicycle, establish a regular sleep pattern, seek out friends, spend time with loved ones, get a pet.
You are special - You deserve happiness - Life is a miracle.
Go outside. Get away from electronics and air conditioning. Get out from under the covers.
Choose life. Fight back.
Depression is a relentless predator and will claim your life if you let it.
RIP Robin.
I have to agree totally with you. I too suffer from a mild form of depression- have since 1998 after a major concussion side-lined me for a few weeks. After that, two thing happened;1. Severe mood swings. Managed fairly well now and I stick to my regimen, if only for the fear of it rearing its (and my) ugly head again. I can't actually remember when the "switch" (as D-wife calls it), would click and off I went about something anything, but it was (and sometimes still is) a dark spectre that I have to live with.
2. A unique additive to my behavior is that of weather forecasting. Let's just say that my head can pretty much predict when a low pressure system is on it's way. Great for living in Kansas, that's for sure!

I had a near one day at Funston Park (near Filmore and Chestnut) in the Marina in San Francisco. We got to the tennis courts after work one day, and the n'er do wells there were still buzzng about how Robin and his young son Zack had just come by and watched the guys playing for about 15 minutes.
He seemed like a real sweet guy and will be missed. He did a good job as a bad guy in a film we saw last week, August Rush.

was a dud, but he and Shelly Duvall were perfect in their characters.

very creepy and subtle.
fails because there's still that HUGE persona of the comedian. Anyhow, that's my take. Robin just wasn't scary.
I don't think the point of One Hour Photo was to portray him as scary. More like a lonely character that did love photography. The scene at the end, of him enjoying his 'artsy' photos of common things.
I liked that one too!
