One of the most thought provoking, heartwarming, yet disheartening films I have ever had the pleasure of viewing!

Rating: 9/10 (20 March 2016)

SPOILER ALERT!!!
At the end of the movie when Jack Nicholson had part of his brain removed in order to tame him I was speechless. I thought to myself, "how did we actually do this to human beings!" I thank God that changes were made to how the United States of America, as well as several more industrialized nations throughout the world, have made reforms to their mental health system. And I pray that changes are made where they have not been made. One thing that I loved about this film was the fact that only a criminal convicted of assault and statutory rape was able to be kind to those who had nowhere to go, and nobody to stand up for them. To conclude, I must say that Jack Nicholson is one of the greatest actors of our time and I absolutely believe he deserves to be remembered as one of the top ten actors of all time.
