Real Life examples

While surfing on Cracked.com, I came across an interesting article about things that commonly happen in movies that some people actually believe due to some sort of mental illness. I found that TWO of the movies we watched in class were mentioned:

Groundhog's Day: Chronic Deja Vu. Some people have a disorder that makes them feel like they are having a deja vu all the time. (http://www.boingboing.net/2006/01/30/chronic-deja-vu.html)

The Matrix: Reduplicative Paramnesia. These people believe that there are alternate dimensions and realities. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reduplicative_paramnesia)

Here is the original article:
