I’ve never looked at the Uncle movie with John Candy in this way before. Not sure what to think.

… that was created using your mother’s soul!
Or some shit. Lol
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.

He was a kid, after all.
What does being disabled have to do it?
Nurse Ratchet. Lady was just trying to do her job.
They love the drama, that’s what’s happening.
Probably when the software isn’t malware.
But in this case it is.
Good to know people that are disabled don’t mind using shitty maleware apps, I guess?
What’s your point combining using the malware app with you being disabled? Is that supposed to make the app better somehow?
You’re not special because you’re disabled. Things you use aren’t magical amazing. You’re still the same as everyone else.
Interesting. Well, I’ll defer to your experience then since you seem to know more than me. Thank you.
Sounds like he just wants to walk up to a general, and strike him. It’s bold. But I’m not sure how it would change anything.
Everyone switched to digital. You need a digital antenna. One from the 40s does not work today. A paperclip would absolutely not receive and decode a digital signal either.
I agreed until you ranted on capitalism. That’s such a a tired old thing on Lemmy it just looks like you’re using catch phrases and eyes roll. It’s money, not capitalism. Every type of society that uses money will lead to wanting more money.
You’re more than welcome to give an example of a successful economy that ran on money where people didn’t hoard it. I’m all ears.
It’s the new toy everyone is playing with.
That’s the only way I can rationalize it. It’s not money, cuz everything being done with in a product blows.
Thank you. Yeah I’m not trying to change any minds here haha. I know she’s the baddie.
