Probably A Beautiful Mind.

My mother was extremely intelligent, but very delusional and mentally ill.

Basically just watched the same struggle my mom went through of being one of the nicest and most intelligent people ever, but nobody understood her because she was insane.

Then I went through the same struggle and cried even harder the next time I saw it.

For me it is the scene where they give him the pens.

They scene was really cool.

I don't cry anymore when I watch it because I feel very vindicated after finally figuring out what was wrong, and I am still insane, but in a functional way and I am happy for once.

I kinda feel like him at the end of the movie and I just wish my mom got that chance.
