You seem to want to have things spoon fed to you. Unfortunately this film doesn't do a whole lot of that, you have to interpret the characters motivations and feelings based on their actions. It's OK though, Jack and Jill is probably more your kind of movie.

You seem to want things formatted to fit your deluded interpretation, but the film is not intended for that. If you spoon feed yourself some perspective and objectivity instead of drawing unsupported subtext, then you will be more in harmony with film-going. Of course, the film needs to be very famous and popular to engage your embarrassing interpretation and guesswork. This is why OFOTCN is not your type of movie. I'm glad I could clarify. (Oh look! Mackenzie is wearing a red shirt, let's find some hidden meaning.)

Except I'm not fitting it to my own interpretation, everything I said was based on supporting evidence from the film. Ratched knew Billy was suicidal, she knew that he was suicidal because of his failed attempts to get a woman and because of his mommy issues. There is absolutely no way that Ratched didn't at least suspect Billy would attempt suicide and she didn't care, breaking Mac's spirit was more important to her.
You don't understand the first thing about Ratched's character, do yourself a favor just give up on Cuckoo's Nest, you aren't smart enough for it.

The first time McMurphy was sent for electro shock treatment that was definitely set up by Nurse Ratched, she knew how to set the patients off and she knew she would get a reason to give McMurphy shock treatment.
In her mind, she may have thought shock-treatment was actually needed , not to seek revenge. This was the 50's (?) or so, and shock treatment was a common method, Her occupation-mindset (police-mentality of always being right) ) was separate from her personal shortcomings. But combined, it was disastrous. -

Rathched wasn't a psychiatrist though. What business did she have recommending patients for shock treatment? She was a nurse who was in charge of the ward and administering the medication as recommended by the doctors. She must've had the medical team wrapped around her little finger too.

garding your comment about Trump, I don't like Clinton or Trump but he his what we need to get us out of this mess.
I equate Trump to getting a injection in the butt. I hated it when I was younger and still hate getting a shot of medicine in the butt but sometimes you need a shot in the butt to get better and at this moment Trump is the only one that has the medicine to fix this mess.
Wow, I don't even know what to say. -

Symbolically and mentally, yes it does.
What do you mean "Symbolically"? Yeah, a lot of "symbolically" on the board.
But, no, death means to be dead, a lobotomized patient is not necessarily a zombie. Depending on the patient and severity of the lobotomy, they are not brain-dead, and can still think and participate in different facets of normal living. -

That's a fun icon, Nan! It's the first time I've seen it. IMDB does have some really cool ones. I wish they would get a "hug" icon. (or whatever you call an animated face)
