Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
Lawbolisted Powerful
ThrillMessage There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.
Abbigail Bush what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
wry I am a sufferer of major depression. I am on a medication that is very effective and am fine now with a full time job a loving relationship and a very satisfying life. However six years ago, after a suicide attempt I was admitted to the CPEP unit at Bellevue, the place that Wonderland depicts. After one day people with mental illness are diagnosed and treated with medication and a day or two later they are no longer suffering from the delusions that are so common in such a chemically imbalanced illness and are no longer violent as the patients in Wonderland were potrayed. I spent three months at Bellevue before my release and I NEVER saw anyone acting out like the patients of Wonderland. This show only continued to further the stigma that haunts all of us suffering from some form of mental illness and keeps us from finding fulfilling gainful employment. I am lucky since i work in the field of treating those with mental illness and i can understand what many are going through.i must add that i did enjoy some of the best acting TV has ever allowed us to see. Especially Ted Levine (Jame Gumm in Silence of the Lambs) who is one of my favorite character actors but as a first hand observer the storylines were not an accurate portrayal of the reality in the CPEP Unit at Bellevue.
BelanaTorres Hmm..... I still don´t know why they stopped Wonderland. I mean, isn´t the series about the fact, that we are all mentally ill in some way or another, that the line to mentally illness is very thin? Sure, it´s not a boring series, there are still jokes in it, but I don´t think they are meant to hurt mentally ill persons. Wonderland is really the best series I EVER saw on TV. I saw the first 8 episodes and I hope they begin to think about there decision to kick it off television. Well, that´s just my thougts I had after the last episode.
Wylie_Times I live in Sweden and Wonderland was bought by a cable network called Canal +. So far they've showed eight episodes and I started wondering why I haven't heard more abouth this great show.So I head to imdb and what do I find? It's been cancelled after only two episodes in the US!Just typical America, as soon as something good comes along there's hundreds of protest groups immidiately calling it offensive. It's so stupid! The double standards just keep oozing.A shame that Peter Berg didn't go to a cable network instead of ABC.
Notraxxs I'm not sure how long this series was on abc...but it was brief. The problem? This series was way to intense for prime time. The writing was top-notch, and the characters were involving, but I don't think America was ready for something like this. I almost broke into a sweat just watching it. Its in-your-face style constantly assaulted the viewer, and its gritty images and dark themes challenged mainstream television. People would rather not break the happy little bubble that is network television. And that really is a shame, because this show had a lot of potential.
