One of the themes of this movie is the bubble that one is placed in when taking antidepressant drugs. The main character in the film is a man in his mid twenties that has been on antidepressants since he was nine years old. These drugs, while perhaps helping him avoid deep emotional pitfalls, disable his ability to "feel." Is emotional pain so bad that we must numb ourselves and thus lose the ability to feel joy? I suspect each person should answer this question themselves, but in an age of quick-fixes, pharmaceutical commercial blitzes and inpatience, the question this film raises is definitely relevant.
