Well-said Wanderer. Thank you!
Oh, so every time 2 words sound the same, that immediately becomes a joke?
I agree that it can be funny when people get similar-sounding words confused, but it never happens in this movie. So there is no joke to be had.
Can we at least agree on that?
Agreed Lord Rake. It's like if you had a kid who thought that there was a monster in the closet, and so you actually put one in there to prove him wrong. Make that make sense.
If there isn't any more to this movie than a silly role-play exercise for a delusional patient that would obviously have the opposite effect than what they claim it would (and that's exactly what happened), then we don't have a whole lot to work with. And it's impossible for us to know what parts of it really happened. You might as well dismiss everything that we just saw as the delusions of a mad-man. Watching paint dry would be more appealing--At least you know it's really happening.
Every scene gets more and more ridiculous, and then we get to the lighthouse, and just when you thought it couldn't get any worse, they prove us wrong and out-do themselves. I was like "We're supposed to believe this nonsense? Anagrams? You have got to be kidding me".
If this is supposed to be some profound movie about the tragedy of mental illness, it fails miserably. Teddy seems perfectly normal for most of the movie, and then he does get pretty crazy at the end, but who wouldn't after all of the ridiculous scenarios that he was put through? It's like everybody in the movie was trying to drive him insane, not bring him back to sanity. I know that the field of psychiatry was new back in the '50s and that they didn't know what they were doing, but I'm sure they could have done better than that.
Nah, it wasn't Mean Girls. It was TMC-4!
I dunno. Perhaps you can explain why it's up.
It's good to be the producer-director!
And what would he do about the panties?
What would you recommend? Edward? Andy?
Yeah, Lindsay was perfect for the role. Being a child actor, she said that she never quite felt like she fit in with the other girls when she was at school. And I agree that she did amazing.
It's just too bad that it was all downhill from there.
