those higher up guys know he's only pretending. plus, once he knew he was going to be lobotomized, he would have protested and confessed
would they transfer him to prison for attacking Nurse Ratched instead? -

As she had said to the board earlier, she believed they could help him. Whether or not she was genuine, the board believed her. Labotomies were used to alleviate aggressive behaviour - amongst other things - so it stands to reason. Of course, that course of 'treatment' has been rubbished since.

Because he tried to kill Ratched, which came after
- raping a teenager
- breaking out and bringing a bunch of mental patients with him.
- breaking hookers and booze in and causing total chaos in the process.
- getting violent with other staff before Ratched.
It was the last straw. He was their patient at that point and this was their final option in their eyes. Attacking a higher up - and a woman - was not acceptable.

you know, the world doesn't revolve around the year 1975. There are actually people born after that mythical year who have not had the fortune to see the movie yet, and spoilers are spoilers no matter how old the movie/book/story is. So piss off.

Reading comprehension is not your strongest suit. And your insults are weak which tells me you are not very bright. Once again you reply to this thread bumping it to the top while protesting that the title contains spoilers. Brilliant.

Children please, can't we just agree that you're both right? Some people have not seen the movie despite its year of release so perhaps the thread-starter should have been more discrete in his choice of subject line. On the other hand, if you haven't seen the movie and yet you come to its discussion board I don't think you can have too many complaints that you saw a thread whose title tells you something about what happens in the movie. Do either of those things make either of you stupid? No, so don't worry about what the nasty man is saying.
Reality is the new fiction they say, truth is truer these days, truth is man-made -

This argument is defunct, because you can clearly see message board topics directly below the user reviews; you don't even have to click on the message board link. It takes all of 2 seconds to put a spoiler warning in there, and is simply message board etiquette. Don't make excuses for laziness.

If you go to a message board of a movie you havent seen and you get spoiled, you have yourself to blame.
Exactly. People come here to DISCUSS the movie. If you read something you didn't want to read, tough schitt. -
