And now, something completely different.
Asylums are there to cure and heal people in the first place.
But why do we want to cure people?
To let them work, and make money for the system.
If you’re a little different, or you have some strange ideas, and you don’t fit in to the (slave) system, you are mentally ill to them.
You get automaticaly depressed, because the won’t give you 1 centimeter of space.
Then they got what they want.
And it starts, you’re road to hell, began.
No concentrationcamps anymore?
Asylums!
They don’t use straightjackets, lobotomies, or shock therapy anymore?
Well, now they shoot you down.
Or medtime, you down.
Then you are out of balance.
Until you get weaker and weaker, next thing is, you can’t do anything anymore, and then you get tyred, tyred, and more tyred, and then you eventually die.
And it doesn’t even matter, what age you are, rage, or if you are ritch, or poor.
It’s bizar.
How in the hell can they cure you, if they don’t even know how the mind and the spirit works. (your soul)
And you know why?
You cost money.
Because the system, works in a curtain way, and they will not change.
Unless we all protest for hour human rights.
For God given Freedom!
And it’s really everywhere today.
It’s in hour food, coffee, sodas, and alcohol that make’s you fatter, and fatter, and slowly sicker.
Or you get really mentally ill, you get ar heartattack, or a desease.
Today,they can spy, and beam you, when ever, and where ever you go.
That is the world we live in today people.
Cool huh?
God bless us all, and eat real fresh food.
Lot’s of vegetables, fruits, brown bread, and drink spa, or water.
That’s the best thing you can do.
(By the way, not only in the USA, but in the whole world.)

Well, I guess as a former soldier and homicide cop, he IS worldly, we just have a job projecting all that on to DiCaprio, who still has a kind of naivety about him.

But I absolutely agree that the twist is a let-down since it leads us to a less interesting place: and DiCaprio’s crime isn’t even so awful. The final final twist redeems that a bit, in that it’s at least interesting, and I like the final shot of the lighthouse. There was the potential for a real nightmare vision of the future/our present being projected, and that shot still carries some of that weight, but the role-play twist has done its best to kill the political angle.

That’s the flaw with the book and film: Lehane’s conspiracy is more gripping and resonant than the “reality” of the twist. In both cases, I was disappointed of so elaborate an explanation built by a madman who didn’t seem that intellectual or worldly.
