Explanation of Solution

Suggested responses

• The actors who play characters with mental disorders may bag awards for their role because such characters are able to capture the experiences, feelings, and troubles experienced by an everyday person. The audience is able to emotionally connect to the characters and therefore, such movies with portrayal of mental disorders are more engaging and thought provoking.

• Additionally, the portrayal of a mentally ill character instills curiosity in viewers because the topic of mental disorders is surrounded by taboo and misinterpretation. Through such movie characters, the audience comes to see the uncensored experience of having a mental disorder. It helps one to learn how a person with a mental disorder is not so different from any other person and indirectly eradicates any stigmatic notions about it.
