Plot outline .:



The HBO Documentary film Thin takes us inside the walls

of Renfrew Center, a residential facility for the

treatment of women with eating disorders, closely

following four young women (ages 15 - 30) who have spent

their lives starving themselves often to the verge of

death. The film deftly chronicles the pervasiveness of

restrictive eating behaviors (most of the women profiled

learned dysfunctional eating habits from their mothers

while growing up), as well as the failure of our current

health-insurance industry to address its clients' needs,

while never shifting focus from the women themselves.

RIPPER's NOTES









REVIEW/OPINION:



Eating disorders affect an estimated five million ppl

in the United States. As many as one in seven women

with anorexia will die from the illness.



This documentary deals with different kinds of eating

disorders, such as anorexia and bulimia. Well, it

actually doesn't deal with the disease as much as it

does with the victims suffering from it. This is a

very frank tale that centers between four women at a

closed facility for women with just these kinds of

problems. I have to admit I felt most for the

youngest girl Brittany, aged fifteen. Her eating

disorder began at the tender age of eight, and she

dropped from 185 to 97 pounds.



What I like about this documentary is that it lacks

all those dull and stiff opinions and interviews from

"professionals" that explains everything in detail.

So from a scientist point of view you could say that

this is rather a study in behaviorism than a fact

stuffed package.



Personally I blame the corporations and media for the

situation. We live in a world where everything "has

its price", and to make as much money as possible you

simply need to market yourself in a good way. If some

minor group of people gets affected in a negative way

as a consequence? F*ck that, corporations only care

about profit. That's why it feels good to see that

there are people like the ones working in this

hospital that actually still cares about other people.

Of course their resources are limited as well, as you

might know from own experience. If your insurance runs

out you're toasted. There's no compassion to it. If it

runs out, it runs out. No exceptions. My point is that

it's a damn cold and harsch system that doesn't care

for a single thing but MONEY.



Anorexia and bulimia are two interesting diseases and

I hope that by watching this documentary you will be

fascinated (and even touched) and then perhaps try to

engage some kind of commitment to people that suffers

from it.



A long though worthy opinion by e... ;)
