How Long Could You Dwell In Total Darkness Before You Lost Your Sanity? |
|
How does 38 months sound?
Did anyone see the movie "Murder in the First" with Kevin Bacon and Christian Slater? Based on a true story... The trial that shut down Alcatraz for good.
I can't believe they kept a human being in a dark dungeon for 38 months because he tried to escape once.
His crime??? He stole $5 to feed his younger sister after their parents died and he couldn't find any work.
This is one of the best DVD's I've seen lately, and it really got to me.
:cry:

1. thanks for the recommendation |
|
Sounds absolutely horrific and awful (not the movie, but the situation).
I couldn't stand it that long. Hell, I went crazy when I lived in St. Petersburg, Russia, and it would get dark at 3 pm! I need light!

2. No spoilers either. I didn't say anything that will ruin the movie for you |

4. The dark wouldn't drive a person crazy, but the isolation would. |

6. Blind people seem to deal with it just fine |

what's 38 months?
I'd think the dank and loneliness would be the real problem.
Sure wouldn't want someone to flick on a light after 38 months, though.

7. Yeah, I guess the isolation would have a more profound effect than |
|
the darkness. Either one (darkness or isolation) by itself would be tough to endure.

10. LOL! Sadly, it's more than that |
|
In the last 23 years, we've had fifteen of darkness.
