  • @quinter891 Yea  its built up for TV...

  • One of the most intense scenes in movie history!

  • @quinter891 Hello! This film was made in 1975. This scene reflects how electroshock therapy was used then (sometimes). Some hospitals were even accused of using electroshock therapy as a form of punishment, rather than therapy such as is portrayed here. There have been many advances since then, and the treatment is now far more humane.

  • @darkknight07100 Oh my god hahahahahaha

  • @quinter891 Back in the 1950's, like when this movie was set in, that is what ECT was like. Modern medicine helps you because doctors know a lot more about inducing seizures to help depression, but back then they just shocked you up and sent you on your way. I don't think it was painful (I'm also sure there were a lot of accidents where it was very painful. Read The Bell Jar), but it changed people's identities and personalities so much that no one ever wanted them.

  • Nicholsons best role ever.

  • @quinter891 Thats due to much better medical standards nowadays. Back in the 1960s to 1980s they would do a lot of shit like this.

  • @quinter891 At least now you think you think you live in Czech Republic. :)
