No, if you're going to have a DVD jukebox, you're going to buy them. No burning. You can get tons of great random movies from pawn shops and other stores. That would be half the fun of it.
I like the discussion. Obviously I'm not dying on any hills here. I just think it's worth looking at the movie in a different pov. Thank you.
I've been on the other side, as a patient.
Edit. I think she did want the best for everyone. Even during the climatic scene. She just didn't know what else to do, and using his mother as a form of pressure, while definitely wrong in hindsight, was really all she had left at the time. Don't forget that scene is the morning after they all threw a party and everyone was basically drunk, including staff.
I also recommend reading the book. It's really good.
The movie takes place in a different time, just to be clear.
The patient in question was faking being crazy. Acted out and challenged her every single day. He even snuck all of the patients out of the hospital, stole a bus and a boat, and went off on everyone for shits and giggles at every opportunity.
Of course I don't agree with the lobotomy. But he was pushing real damn hard for it.
He was also a jail jumper. They put him in that ward to finally get rid him.
Ratchet was fine giving them their meds every day, and being the only nurse in charge of doing meetings and everything else, until he showed up and instigated everything.
I think she was just extremely fed up with the bullshit by the time that happened. Obviously it was a bad decision, I'm not going to defend the belittling.
