How A Psychiatrist Interviewed A Depressed Patient

What I love about this Psychiatric interview is that the medical professional does not judge this woman at all but has patience and talks to her kindly.

It seems as if he knows she's having a rough time and only wants to help her as she seems lost and uninterested in anything in life but the mention of death.

To others she may seem as if she is a normal person without a chemical imbalance in her brain making her struggle internally but do not dismiss her as if she is faking or just wants attention.

I know many people from this 1950's era would disagree with this statement but mental illnesses should be taken more seriously and should have a fragile approach.

At the next part of the scene they show this woman's wrists that are covered in bandages but the interviewer does not ask about them right away only later in the film.

He goes onto ask questions about her personal life, what she does in the day, how she feels, and if she eats enough.

When explaining how she hurt herself she does not seems to feel embarrassed nor feels any guilt for inflicting pain on herself.

The way this woman speaks as if she is empty minded and just feels no excitement on any subject she talks about not even the hobbies she does during the day.

The only time she ever smiles is when she explains how she wants to try a new place, which means to see what life is like after death.

My heart truly breaks for this woman and I hope she got the help she needed back in the 50's era and if not. I hope she is in peace in heaven.

The Story of Hilliard Brooks Jr's Murder

In 1950 on August 13, a 22-year old man named Hilliard Brooks Jr. was murdered on a bus after he was accused of making a disturbance. Back in these days what was the disturbance, was he talking back because he had to stick up for himself or was it because he was protecting someone else? Some reports were very unjust and plain unfair in my opinion. The reason he was accused of this was because be refused to leave and enter from the rear bus as Jim Crow wanted him to. This bus driver called the police and a white officer shot this black man and wounded two people in the process. All because Jim Crow and the bus driver were trying to be big bosses and choose violence when they woke up that day. Brooks left behind a pregnant wife and several young children. Even though many eye witnesses reported that the shooting was unnecessary, the officer faced no charges. After this many people were outraged over how this all went down and set the stage for the...

What Was Good About 1950's Cars?

I have to say that 1950’s cars look like they are from a whole different universe. What I love about these cars are the white streak around the front of each of the tires. You have many car brands such as the Packard, Mercury, Chevrolet Corvette, Hudson, Ford Thunderbird, Chevrolet Bel Air, Chrysler Imperial, Chrysler New Yorker, Buick Skylar, and more! I personally have to say the Chevrolet Bel Air is my favorite looks wise. Many people who had cars in this era were more towards those with some wealth. I noticed that a lot of the percentage of people walked, biked, or took the bus to wherever they were going. Not everyone in the 1950’s had a car but those who did had some money. Lots of these cars were geared towards couples who had children as well. The cars back in this time period came in many colors, which I love! Today many people have bland colors on their cars. Which are their preference but cars with unique or cool colors really stand out. When looking through pictures of...

Why Did Narrators From The 1950s Always Sound The Same?

Commercial radio broadcasting started within the 1920's and moved through the 1950's era. Soon enough people listened less to the radio and went for televisions as they became cheaper. This is because TV's back in the early 50's were very expensive that only the rich got to watch any shows or interviews. As you know lots of people tuned into the radio to hear about politics, Broadway shows, news broadcasts, and more to hear about what is going on in the world. What is shocking to find out is that people who were in radio broadcasts and in motion picture films sounded so similar was because they were taught to speak a certain way. Many people who taught what is called the transatlantic accent in radio and motion picture studios at the time. When the radio was introduced to the world, microphones sounded tinnier and had a very different frequency. Many companies wanted their speakers to adopt and accent so that they were heard clearly by the public and ...
