From here on, it of course becomes apparent that Ozzy has a problem, and he does see a psychiatrist (Kevin Sorbo), but the prolbem is he doesn't show any of the classic symptoms and definitely isn't on the depression side of things, he's just ... not doing very well. And given his condition, who knows when he will try to kill himself again, and how successful he'll be next time ...<p> <p>Now I won't say that <b>I Feel Fine</b> is free of coming-of-age genre topes as the film's actually full of them and is really unapologetic about it, too. But what makes this film is its very serious subject matter and how it doesn't even try to gloss over things, up to the point of risking a pretty un-happy ending - and that's exactly what makes this film so compelling, that it doesn't just follow whatever formula and ultimately goes for emotional reconciliation but chooses to tell it's story in a very true, from-the-heart manner instead - making this a pretty cool watch in the process. <p>  </td> <td width="4" rowspan="2"></td> <td width="100" rowspan="2" background="../stylepix/squareright.gif" valign="top">  </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="592" valign="top">  <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> currentyear = "2025"; </SCRIPT> <SCRIPT language="JavaScript" src="../scripts/endcredits.js"></SCRIPT> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> dosworsdonn(); </SCRIPT> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </body>
