loss is a big part of dementia so in that sense it was correct but the disease is more far reaching than that. Viewers come away from the film sad and in tears from the final scene but because the disorder played a very inconsequential piece of the movie I don’t think they would think much about dementia.

I used National News Core to search movie reviews from newspapers and magazines and read a review of the movie “Deadpool” from the New York Times. The tone is lighthearted and positive. The author describes the movie as “a feverishly eager-to-please comic-book movie about a supervillain who suits up like a superhero” (Dargis). He seemed to appreciate the “winking and rib poking” that is a trademark of the Deadpool story line. While acknowledging the movie’s shortcomings‚ the author casts them
