@tallgirlbp They never say. It seems like a lot of different things though; schizophrenia, post traumatic stress disorder (due to her parents' death), or autism (only some of her behaviour correlates).
Mary Stu's prodigiously talented at conveying heartbreak. Her "I-Hate-You" scene always gets me. It gets even sadder when she told Benny she wanted raisins on her tapioca. She felt her life, like the raisins, was stolen, and she was humiliated.
And about the "not remembering filming the bus scene", I think we could read as not remember FILMING it. She might remember playing that scene but didn't remember when they yelled out "action" and "cut".
We are watching this in health class, and at the end we have to diagnose her with what mental illness she has. My teacher said she may have two, depending on the way you look at it.
@ursusarctosana It's not uncommon at all for people with high functioning Asperger's to be have a talent for sarcasm. My younger brother has Asperger's (high functioning) and he's pretty great at sarcasm...too good actually lol
@lysjocksan i don't think schizophrenia because.. her behaviour is similar but her thinking patterns are way too linear. Though i can't think of anything else that fits quite that well..
I've seen this movie many times, and have heard most of the discussions about what Joon's particular illness might be. Honestly, I don't think that is really important, in terms of the movie's appeal. The truly wonderful thing is how Sam is able to see the beauty of the person within, and love Joon in spite of her brokenness.

I think Joon also has Autism and a sensory integration disorder. That explains why she can't handle loud sounds and riding on the bus. She has a sort of meltdown from the stress of riding on the bus. She also doesn't make a lot of eye contact and is very blunt with her comments. This is the sign of a nonverbal communication disorder and inhibited ability to read body language and relate to others.
@ursusarctosana No, I think she's too high functioning to have full out Autism or really even a more mild Autism. Maybe Asperger's though and I would certainly say Schizophrenia. Sensory integration and those meltdowns are symptoms of both of those. And maybe Joon was supposed to have more of a communication stigma, but it looks to me that her communication skills here are quite good and she has a handle on sarcasm. Benny is the cause for the other stuff lol Just my observation and opinion!
Wow, um..I guess most people don't sympathize with Benny. I mean, I can understand that he just wants to keep Joon safe; he's been taking care of her for so long that he can't imagine anyone else taking her away or being able to take responsibility for her. It's not like he doesn't want her to be happy. Don't hate!
Actually I think she is schizophrenic. Nervous breakdown/mental breakdown isn't a specific illness. It just means the sudden attack of an existing mental illness.
@FlummiFee i thought it was possible she had post traumatic stress disorder. PTSD makes people REALLY freaky sometimes. They're perfectly normal except when they get in situations where the trauma kicks in and then their brain breaks. And they have an episode. PTSD affects people differently. Not all PTSD patients are like joon and some are way more severe just as some are far less severe.
You have to feel sorry for him, though, putting all of his life on hold for her and having to miss out on things. Unfortunately, that happens in real life :(
Well yeah, but... he is so absorbed in his role...I mean he thinks he is condemned to take care of her instead of actually doing something for her so she can be a little more independent and lead a more normal life. Sam arrived to her life and he saw how well Joon reacter and how well Sam adapted to her so he should encourage their relationship while guiding them ...
Why did he through sam out, it would be better if it would be the other way around cause there are 2 of them vs 1, and then they live heppily ever after. :D
I hate it when Joon burns the picture of them as kids. I mean I hate benny for throwing him out but I mean burning their picture is a litttttle harsh.
I feel so bad for Joon on the bus, she must be scared. But Sam tries to comfort her, which is sweet. This is just on all around sad scene, but the acting is excellent.
Sam isn't Johnny Depp to her. He's Sam. So she's not gonna be like "Oh my God Johnny Depp is sitting next to me I could die right now!!" He's just Sam. Her Sam.
I feel so bad for Sam and Joon when Benny says they can't be together but idk...I kind of have a soft spot for him. I mean, he's only trying to protect Joon like he has for all his life. I think part of him doesn't want to let her go just yet. I'm glad he comes around though.
Apparantly Mary Stuart Masters can't remember filming the bus scene - yet it was the most convincing performance of her character's mental problem in the whole movie.
Benny is an asshole maan only bcause he is not happy with his life/ relationship he dont let his sister I meen ok he is her brother he is worried about her but ... i dunno its his mistake i meen they are happy together ok sorry i just had to say this ^^ lol
Oh come on people. The person asked what was wrong with her as in what type of mental illness does she have. That's not insulting. Why give that so many thumbs down?
@faithdyke2 because people are dumb. Our culture brainwashes us into thinking that it's somehow wrong to ask questions about someone who is different or who has a handicap. When in reality, those people WANT to be able to talk comfortably and openly about what makes them different. People are brainwashed and are responding brainlessly like the good little sheepies they are. People don't know why they gave a thumbs down. they just know that they're "supposed to". They don't think beyond that.
I keep wondering how the heck he always gets in the thee
