And given enough time and enough age all of us will go a little confused towards the end.<br /><br />But, there is a term used, in mental health, "pleasantly confused". What that means is that if they have the quality of life they want, can give and recieve love, well, really, this is most important.<br /><br />and as for your Grandfather . . . it looks like he had all over that. Which is a credit the the very cool dude you are Slyde :)<br /><br />hugsMrs. Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15360433416733092249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79674722144036755.post-11335592641105819762009-06-26T10:48:10.495-05:002009-06-26T10:48:10.495-05:00Cam: You said it best "putting in the clinica...Cam: You said it best "putting in the clinical education and hours" is only part of the title of nurse.<br /><br />it's the love and compassion for their feel man that makes a REAL NURSE!! Bravo!!!<br /><br />James: Glad you liked the film. but jeez, that line is HARSH!!<br /><br />Bruce: HMMM interesting insight into character dynamic. I KNEW YOU'D HAVE SOMETHING to offer about this film. You are the demographic I am talking about in the post. <br /><br />And yes, good luck on developing less postal rage type feelings at your job, maybe just maybe you can develop tolerence, then perhaps o i don't know, like? who knows?<br /><br />and really, even though that movie looks nothing like my office, the men ALWAYS bring it up on the first visit. I never bring it up. I simply ask if they have any questions/concerns about coming to the mental health office... and this springs to mind :)<br /><br />Joanna: I DARE SAY every job has a salesman compenent.

It is a masterpeice, but more so becuase of Nickelson's portrayal and Nurse Rachette as his conterpoint. One would not have worked without the other. Louise Flecther is fabulous in her role and in face is NOT the bad person in this film. Since most men identify with the rebelious nature of Nickelson's character, they naturally dispise Nurse Rachette. Her only failing is that she is a bit of a control freak and likes to maintain order in a psychotic ward. She cares for her patients, but she just dosen't show a lot of empathy. Nickelson upsets the apple cart in her world and he IS disruptive to say the least. <br /><br />However, this film bears little resemblance to modern psychitric out-patient services, espeically since it is a locked state run facility in the 1950s.Bruce Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10898228670873232050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79674722144036755.post-74184045643097295552009-06-25T16:01:03.377-05:002009-06-25T16:01:03.377-05:00A superb, fantastic film.
