Powerful.

Rating: 10/10 (26 July 2005)

This movie is something most people have seen, and for those who haven't' seen it, I highly recommend you to see it. The plot is riveting. I've seen many movies in life, but this is one of the very best I've ever seen. All the other "nuthouse" movies that were made after merely had the hopes of surpassing this one in terms of being remembered. Won't happen. Maybe this movie was so great because it was the first of its kind, but it's still amazing. The ending is very sad, but it's also unavoidable. Really don't want to give anything away, so you'll have to watch it yourself.
Despite the facts this movie is a drama, it still has funny parts. Overall the movie is something that will always be remembered for causing changes in the mental hospital status. As a bit of trivia, the mental health "profession" actually hated this movie once they heard what it was about. There were even several attempts by the mental health profession to boycott the movie. Again, I advise anyone interested in a good flick to watch this.
