I say this because when he jumped out the window he got over the fear of being "snuffed out" which was the whole point of the treatment was to correlate that feeling with violence, and I think when he got over that fear, thats when he went back to his normal self.

Hmmm. Does that make any sense at all? What do you guys think?

No, they successfully brainwashed him but the way the story plays it. They make it seem like when you have an injury like that it jars whatever programming you get from being brainwashed which isn't true but I didn't over think it or complain about it while watching the movie.

Watching this for the third time has made me realise that this really is a smoke and mirrors film and not very good at that. Much prefer the directors earlier effort I Stand Alone.

Ah I see, I guess I was just over thinking it.

After that stinker Pelham 123, I'd say this one's a winner. Depp and Bale pulled out surprisingly subtle performances that I found satisfying, though I felt the camera work could have been better at times.

Still, great movie. May not be something I'll ever get on DVD, but definitely worth watching atleast once.

ehh I hope youre referring to the movie and not my comment. Before going into the movie I had only 'Fun' by him which I thought was really good, and my ex girlfriend had met him and everything at last year's ACL and I knew he has suffered from mental illness and manic depression. I had expected the documentary to just be interviews with him and his friends and whatever stock footage they had (as these types usually do) but its actually much more in depth. With the home movies and tape recordings of everything from his mom yelling at him to him flipping out on the drummer from Sonic Youth. Some parts I laughed at like the Mountain Dew part "This Daniel Johnston speaking from a Mental Hospital and they say I'm crazy....because I love Mountain Dew so much, I can't get enough of it!" Some of it's really sad about how much his mental condition has almost ended his life and career trying to crash his father's plane, attacking an old woman, and ect. But then you have the people who are their for him through the thick and thin his manager who worked so hard for him even when he fired him and his parents whom he still lives with and take care of him.
