Talk:Nurse Ratched

message: The claim that Louise Fletcher "had only acted once in the 13 years before appearing in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" seems to be contradicted by her IMDB entry (see link in article) though there could be an explanation.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by BBO (talk • contribs) 20:56, 11 February 2018 (UTC)

message: Just been watching the film again, anyone think that I should add in how she persuades the doctors to keep McMurphy in the institute against their jugement? Would add more detail to her sadistic and controlling characteristics explination. --Darnf 22:35, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I removed the Transformers reference because it lacked any reference and the postulate seemed implausible. --66.215.129.27 14:53, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Problem here.  In this article, it says that McMurphy sneaks "his girlfriend" into the hospital.  In McMurphy's own article it says that he sneaks two prostitutes in.  We need some clarification.  Not050 (talk) 11:15, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

message: After reading this article, I've deduced that Nurse Ratched and Professor Umbridge are pretty much the same character. Both are sadists, both have used torture as form of punishment, both are power mad, and both instill fear in their underlings. The only difference is that Ratched doesn't pretend to be sweet and huggable.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.106.19.89 (talk) 06:11, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Nurse Ratched.jpg

message: I am puzzled by "Sarah Paulson portrays a younger version". Paulson is age 46, and the actress in One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest was age 41. Paulson seems to be an older version to me. Roger (talk) 00:08, 27 September 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: The description is of the character, not the actress. The character in Ratched is younger than the character in OFOTCN. Are you suggesting that we change the description of the character because you think the actress appears older to you? Sundayclose (talk) 00:33, 27 September 2020 (UTC)
replies: text:  Is an age ever given for any of these Ratched characters? I just don't get why Paulson is described as younger. Roger (talk) 01:46, 27 September 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: A specific age is not necessary. The Ratched series is described as a prequel to OFOTCN. Characters in a prequel by definition are younger. That's also obvious if you watch the series. A few years age difference in the actresses is irrelevant. Sundayclose (talk) 01:57, 27 September 2020 (UTC)

text:  Okay, the text does say "prequel", and that should be enough. Roger (talk) 03:57, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
