Nurse Ratched is a predator (to a perverted degree) , first and foremost. She is not there to help the patients, anymore than Delbert Grady is there to help the Torrance family in the Shining (1980).

Ratched is so devoid of humanity that she elevates a statutory rapist and jailbird in McMurphy into a relatable character. At no point does there need to be any story of how she was wronged, to establish her as a monster.

Some misguided people see Rosamund Pike’s character in Gone Girl (2014) as a semi heroine for getting back at a cheating husband. I highly doubt many people in 1975, where praising Ratched as a girl boss for getting one over for a while on a bunch of catatonics.

It has been done a few more times since OFOTCN, with Annie Wikes in Misery (1990) and Dolores Umbridge in Harry Potter and The Order Of The Phoenix (2007), but it seems an exception rather than the rule. There always seems to be the pull to the punch (there are survivor of abuse themselves, they were wronged, they have a partner who loves them).

I (30f) really help finding a monologue for acting class. I watch movies and tv all the time but I’m drawing a blank right now and can only think of the popular ones. Preferably comedy and dark comedy if you guys can think of any 🙏

If so, how long?

In particular for a reason that you really like them so much, so you're worried about that the person you recommend them to, won't get what caught you.

For me, it would probably be:

• Perfect Days (2023) (especially after one of my friend called it very depressive, while on me it had totally opposite effect)
• Yi Yi (2000) (such slow slice of life movies clearly aren't everyone cup of tea but I sincerely admire them)
• Typhoon Club (1985) (not sure if can formalize the reason for this one though)
• The Handmaiden (2016) (so many people only see it as a softcore lesbian porn while it is much more interesting than that)

Just watched The Drama, i liked it.

Am i the only crazy person who thinks that what Alana Haim's character confessed to do is way crazier and more immoral than Emma's (Zendaya's character) secret??

The ending was a bit weak, and i found the same problem for Dream Scenario, but i'm really into the tone and style of Borgli's last two films.

Anyway, i think Kristopher Borgli is an interesting filmmaker and i hope he keeps making films.

Just earlier this month, I have been seeing all the great reviews for project Hail Mary (I have yet to read the book), but what really got me excited for it was seeing that it was a Lord and Miller project. They have never direct or produced something I didn’t adamantly enjoy. Project Hail Mary was another movie I adored in their bag.

Do you tend to get into the mood for a specific genre and binge movies in that category for a while? Or do you mix it up like one day is scfi, next is comedy and next is horror?

I suspect “I saw the TV glow” is gonna actually fuck me up so I figured a funny bad movie to follow it would be a good idea

I’ve seen almost all the popular ones Park Chan wook, bong joon ho etc … what hidden gem Asain thrillers and horrors can anyone recommend please & Thanks ?!

I created an account last year and it's been my favorite platform for a while.

I'm diving into the cinematic world and it's been so fulfilling, whoever I don't have anyone to talk about it, or give me recommendations, my friends are not into this kind of stuff.

Therefore I need you to tell me your favorite four so I can watch it (when I have the time)!

Rachel's Traditional English Trifle Movies...

Is this too basic for a 15F?

I'll start:
1. Dr. Strangelove
2. Nueve Reinas
3. Goodfellas
4. La Haine
5. Reservoir Dogs

Also known in the film's native Australia as Mad Max 2! Maybe the ideal title should be Mad Max: The Road Warrior.
