The main issue I have with 50/50 and with most films which try to deal with such a serious topic is that they do so with one eye on the market. If they made a film about the possibility of dying of cancer in your 20s which was truly honest, it would be a pitch black comedy and at the same time a film of nerve wracking tension and utter discomfort, sure it could still have a happy ending, but that's not something films like this want to actually deal with. No one would watch that film (I would), it might win 10 oscars but it sure as fuck won't sell popcorn. This film reminds me of the depiction of mental illness in hollywood where every autistic person lives a "quirky" life and can count fucking cards in Vegas and manic depressives eventually just pull themselves together for the sake of their families, if you're not going to at least explore the subject fully why bother making the film in the fucking first place ?.
Ben Kingsley = Amazing
The Baby (1973). A group of women, led by Ruth Roman’s terrifying matriarch, keep a mentally disabled grown man dressed as a giant infant in their house. Weird as it sounds. Mostly played for sick laughs. Great ending.
