Washington(ANI):
Oscar-winner
Halle
Berry
has
opened
up
about
the
role
she
plays
in
her
upcoming
flick
'Frankie
and
Alice".
In
the
new
psychological
drama,
she"s
a
woman
suffering
with
multiple
personality
disorder.
The
movie
is
based
on
a
true
story
of
a
black
woman
who
struggles
to
retain
her
true
self
and
not
give
in
to
her
'white
racist" alter
personality.
“A
black
woman
who
splits
off
into
a
white
racist,
right
there
that"s
got
to
be
a
story
worth
telling," Fox
News
quoted
Berry
as
telling
Pop
Tarts
at
the
film"s
Hollywood
premiere.
“I
really
wanted
to
understand
how
that
could
happen,
why
that
would
happen
and
I
wanted
to
see
her
journey
of
how
she
healed
herself
because
our
character
actually
triumphs,"
she
said.
Most
importantly,
the
44-year-old
actress
wants
'Frankie
&
Alice"
to
draw
attention
to
mental
illness.
“We
should
talk
about
it,
I
hope
this
movie
incites
people
to
talk
about
the
issue.
I
see
homeless
people
on
the
street
and
I
think
people
think
they"re
just
derelicts
or
drug
addicts,
but
many
of
them
really
suffer
with
real
mental
issues,"
added
the
former
Bond
girl.
