Psychological Plot Lines in Movies

Psychological plot lines in movies often deviate from actual scientific understanding due to the need for a more dramatic story. Real psychology does not always translate well into fiction as it lacks the tangible social causes or story arcs that make for engaging narratives. However, there are still enjoyable movies that touch on psychological themes while maintaining some semblance of scientific accuracy. One example is The Soloist, a movie based on a real-life story of a homeless man with schizophrenia and his musical talent. While the film stays true to the struggles of mental illness, it may not have the traditional plot arc that viewers expect.
