One thing Manic made me think about was, well, my own struggles with anger when I was a kid. You would never guess it to meet me now, but when I was younger I had a flash-fire temper -- I went straight from annoyance to fury with no middle ground. And I did not express anger in the stereotypical female fashion of emotional aggression. I just hit people.

long rambling history of my struggle with anger and anger management techniques )

...

Anyway. Mostly this is to say that while I am not an angry person anymore, I was once, and it was a long, hard road to a more even temper. So in that sense, watching a movie about a teen with anger management issues was weirdly familiar for me, though I was never as bad as Lyle in Manic. And for that, I am very thankful.
