  Maoist movie reviews: "The Aviator"
Mental illness diagnoses in general are often a response to behavior that either conflicts with, or concentrates, ideas and practices prevailing under the imperialist-patriarchy.
Instead, in "The Aviator," "mental illness" has the context of celebrity and success, as if the movie were trying to say: see, even the ruling class needs psychology and therapy, so you should want it, too.
The problem with "The Aviator" is that it glorifies Howard Hughes's entrepreneurship and innovativeness as being a sign that he overcame his mental illness, without getting into the roles of entrepreneurship and innovation in the division of labor, and exploitation.

 IGN: I'm a Cyborg, But That's OK Review
There are similarities between I'm a Cyborg, But That's OK and movies like Am¿lie and Benny and Joon, in which mentally ill women (I don't care what anyone says, Am¿lie had problems) reclaim their membership in the human race by furtively expressing their dormant sexuality.
Like any movie that takes a light approach to mental illness, the diseases depicted must be handled sensitively — it's funny to see an overweight anti-social gobble up the dying Young-goon's unwanted lunch, but it mustn't be forgotten that actually witnessing such disregard for the well-being of another would be utterly horrifying.
The sanitarium in which the movie takes place appears to be surrounded by lush rainforests, yet some areas of the grounds seem to include a barren desert and a windswept hilltop.
