Absolutely Brilliant and Beautiful, 6 January 2005
10/10
Author: nero5684 from United States

This movie was excellent, and really I cannot see how anyone who doesn't have ADD or any humanity cannot sit down and watch this movie.

The only thing I disliked was Bryan Adams (he's just a horrible singer in my opinion) and the first scene where he comes up, I was actually thinking "what the hell is this?" because it seemed more like a music video spliced in, before I got the point. Also some of the "action" shots which looked a little amateurish/choppy. Otherwise, this was a fascinating look at a time and a place which is very different from our own.

The actors and actresses are all wonderfully played, and I'd even say better than many American actors.

It really gives you a feel for an asylum

As for comparisons to One Flew over the cuckoos nest, while I must say I love that movie as well, I think this one has much more depth and raw humanity
