Title of the movie: All the bright places

Actors/actress (main):
 Theodore Finch (“Finch”)
A senior at Bartlett High School in Indiana and one of the book’s two
protagonists. Finch suffers from an undiagnosed mental illness, likely bipolar disorder or
manic depression. He has contemplated suicide many times in private, but his public
persona garners him a few close personal friends, many admirers, and several peers
determined to make his life miserable

 Violet Markey
A senior at Bartlett and the book’s other protagonist. Violet runs in different,
more traditionally popular circles than Finch. She is still reeling from the accidental death
of her older sister, Eleanor, and uses her grief as a crutch for everything from getting out
of school assignments to pulling away from her friends. Violet is smart and kind but does
not recognize her own strengths.

Short narration:
Theodore Finch and Violet Markey are two teenagers who badly want to escape from their
small Indiana town . Violet is secretly dealing with survivor's remorse, and Finch is a boy obsessed with
death, labeled a freak by his peers. Finch and Violet meet on top of the bell tower at school. They
both consider jumping off, but save one another from doing so
As for Finch, he suffers from depression and experiences near-constant thoughts of suicide
Finch's family does not understand his depression and making him feel isolated.
Finch initiates a partnership between himself and Violet for a school project in which they will explore
their home state of Indiana together. The important thing doesn't seem to be the sites themselves, but what
the wandering begins to mean for both of them—especially Violet. The two begin a romantic relationship
and fall in love. However, Finch's mental health begins to deteriorate. He suffers from an
undiagnosed bipolar disorder. His behavior demonstrates the characteristic manic periods of impulsive
excitability as well as the lethargic, pointless mindset during the depressive periods. He is also physically
abused by his father and bullied at school. Additionally, Finch refuses to be diagnosed because the labels
make him feel trapped. The one shining spot in his life is his blossoming relationship with Violet. The
teenagers wander around Indiana together some more; however, on one occasion they accidentally stay
out until the next morning, angering Violet's parents who forbid their daughter from seeing Finch again.
This begins a downward spiral for Finch, who ends up getting expelled from school after a fight with
Violet's ex-boyfriend. 
One particularly bad night, Finch sends an email to every single person he knows, saying goodbye. Finch
decides to end his life.
Moral issue:
The film emphasizes the impact that one person can have on another's life and the beautiful
moments they leave behind. The ending credits of the movie dedicate themselves to those struggling
with mental illness and thoughts of suicide, encouraging all to reach out to their own “bright places” in
their lives.

Reflection/insights (own):
All The Bright Places conveys what it feels like to navigate something uncontrollable to you, he
felt like he has no one to turn to for help. so, this drama reminds me or a lesson for us to always treat
others with kindness and compassion. Because we will never know If the person or even strangers that we
only met might be fighting a silent battle so we really know nothing about each and every one, so always
be kind; everyone is fighting a hard battle.
The idea of "All the Bright Places" is that people who appear to have it together on the
surface may be hiding a lot more underneath. You never really know what others are going
through. That idea may not be completely original or revolutionary, but it is still valuable.
Furthermore, the film's candid discussion of mental illness, suicidal thoughts, physical abuse,
and familial loss is so important and compelling that you wish Fanning hadn't been forced to
provide a treacherous narration at the conclusion summing the themes. Young people are
intelligent, and they can understand these difficult ideas.
