    The old movies are deeper than the stuff around today. They have a quality to them. It's a kind of matter-of-factness that speaks for itself. They are thoughtful and reflective in their substance and meditative in their pace. All that rubbish on Netflix is not worth bothering with.

      The people who produced films in this era were more "thoughtful and reflective" than the people are today who produce television. Most of Netflix is sensationalistic, inhuman crap produced on a corporate assembly line.

    Back in 1984, i was 22 years old and i suffered from a real bad eating disorder ( i still do) and severe depression, so i went to my GP who booked me into an institution, to help me get well. I soon realised they did not wish to talk about my problem with food, dismissing me as ungrateful for the privilege of having food. All they wanted to do was to keep giving me sedatives and other strong tablets which just made me feel very stoned all the while. I refused to take them one day and after about five minutes, two big muscular men in black suits and ties, suddenly appeared on my ward and they pinned me down on the floor while a so called nurse gave me an injection of something. Next thing i know everything has gone weird looking and in very gaudy colours. I then passed out and every time i came to, i was injected again and knocked out. This went on for weeks on end and i would be half asleep in bed when some horrid nurse would be trying to shove mashed potato down my throat, almost choking me in the process! I eventually managed to get out but the experience left me very distrustful of mental health institutions. This film brought it all back to me, but i think people should know how the mentally ill and vulnerable people are treated in some of these places! Thank you, from The UK. xx

    Excellent flick. Just watched it for the second time since it was uploaded. Great character study. This is why movies back in the 70's and 80's were great. I was in a mental hospital as an adolescent for nearly a year. That place was so messed up. Most of the staff were pathological and sadistic. Worse than jail. Really. You have less rights as a mental patient than you do as a prisoner. The doctors have absolute control over you. They can keep you locked up as long as they please. There is no sentence. The sentence is whatever they decide. It could be days it could be weeks it could be years- and the judges will almost always go along with what the doctor says.

      Perhaps I could deal with this far better if we really did live in a world where people who do CAUSE HARM were behind bars (for life) instead of out, making a very nice income, and looking like angels in our society.

      My dad was killed by a heart drug (amiodarone) he shouldn't have been prescribed; it's supposed to be a last resort drug but is handed out like aspirin by negligent/lazy heart docs. His death was agonizing : lung poisoning/destruction by the drug. Malpractice by supposed health professionals -- in your dad's case a nursing home setting -- is unforgivable. Time lessens our anguish but we'll never really "get over it" because the death was murder by someone we thought we could trust. I'm so sorry for your loss and hope your heartache has eased somewhat.

      There are many people in nursing homes who have wrongly been diagnosed with mental illnesses (such as Alzheimer's) just for the purpose of getting godverment funding for end of life physical care. The government knows this and exploits the situation by turning these people into their government "Medical Kidnapping" victims. ... Much like the days of Nazi Germany. People go into nursing homes, see people drugged up into coma- like states and assume the wrong thing. Doping people up like this is highly profitable to doctors, hospitals, institutions, nursing homes, etc. and especially the big god pharmaceutical companies.
      I watched this practice done to my own father in a nursing home. It's the decades old, highly profitable practice of.... what i call "MEDICATING UP, and STAFFING DOWN." Sounds a bit military, and it is. You'll find military personal often hired in nursing home (and the like). And I'm NOT going to tell you how I feel about the military... other than many beautiful good men and women misled by our own godverments.
      This movie is VERY ACCURATE as to the despicable treatment of people in these places to this day! My dad was brought to suicide in the nursing home. He NEVER would have done THAT had he not become a broken man!!!! My dad was a very smart, mentally strong man!!! He was driven to his end. THEY killed him. THEY murdered him, as Im sure they have many others before and after my dad!!! Satan and his Flying Monkey contract workers are very much alive and living very well even in these days of "trying times." ....

    This was an excellent movie. Arkin and everyone else was great, and the dialogue was great. It's scary to imagine what can happen when a government run institution gets its claws in you.
    I know a sane woman who was put in a mental institution in about 1972 when she was 14 years old by her parents because she was being a wild teenager. She was there for just the minimum of 6 weeks. She couldn't tell me details of what happened to her there because it was to painful to talk about, but whatever happened scarred her for life. She never forgave her parents.
    She was a very attractive woman, a real hottie. I suspect she was sexually abused among other atrocities, and drugged up on zombie meds.

      & does not continue to exist

    Saw this movie when it came out and it creeped me the hell out. Came across it the other night on a movie channel at 4 A.M. and thought it may have been the same movie. I remember the spyrene (sp.) part and when I heard that word I knew it was the same movie. I am now watching it on youtube. Kind of reminds of Robert Redford's "Brubaker." Another movie about Hell on Earth. We are really damned lucky not to be in a place like this.

    Alan Arkin is a personal favorite of mine. LOVED him as the sinister Mr. Roarke in 1967's "Wait Until Dark" 😨 and his brilliant performance as the downtrodden, but dignified salesman George Aarono in 1992's "Glengarry/Glen Ross" was sublime! 😍 One of the last, remaining true actors of the 20th Century, he embodies whatever character he portrays onscreen. 🎬🎥🎭AMAZING! And I can't wait to see this film, I'm such a fan! 😊☺

    Now I KNOW it's gonna be a goodun.
    This movie has a " cool hand Luke " kinda feelin to it. But nah, it's probably the vintage ... and the music. And the presence of Morgan Woodward. Who did the score for this movie? Lalo Schifrin ?
    Sounds like it.
    Cool hand Luke is one of the greatest. Schifrin was a genius.
    Movies graced with his musical touch are ... usually great themselves.

      You're really living up to the dumb bell moniker you chose for yourself. With that stupid comment.
      This movie was so so. It's got novel appeal because it's a heavy seventies. And because it had Morgan Woodward going for it. But largely a forgotten, fair to middling affair.
      How many academy awards came out of it? NONE.
      How many nominations for the academy award came out of it ...?

      George Kennedy won the academy award for his very memorable performance in the role of " Dragline " in cool hand Luke.

      Ease up, it's all up for our personal tastes.
      For instance; I like Newman's performance in the film "Slapshot" (1977) and the film in general, tons better than "Cool Hand Luke"
      Or Hitchcock's "Torn Curtain" (1966)
      Sometimes the actors themselves will prefer their work in a lesser known performance.
      Like the Great and very beautiful Jessica Lange said her personal favorite performance was in "Tootsie" (1982)
      Whereas my favorites of her's are "Country" (1984) and "The Music Box" (1989)
      I can barely remember seeing "Tootsie" at all, and only watched it because I heard her say in an interview that it was her favorite performance.

    It is too bad that regular jails and prisons are not like this; the jails and prisons today coddle inmates and prisoners which does not incentivize the inmates and prisoners to never come back. Back when jails and prisons were places that people never wanted to go because of the brutality has been lost, now they are not correctional institutions, but housing facilities.

    This is very eye opening and scary to think that much of the bad treatment still goes on in mental institutions and in nursing homes as well.

Install hidden nanny cams if possible.

      No, this kind of evil crap is STILL GOING ON TODAY. Learn how Muslims feel about Christians. See them working in Nursing homes.... the care of our Loved ones, vulnerable and elderly.
      I speak from a first hand account of wittinessing what happened to my dad and myself in his nursing home. Horrifying. Lies, slander, smear campaign, stalking, threats, public humiliation, ambush meeting, .... The Director of Nurses (x military) came after my frail dad and I with everything she had!!! She enlisted her Flying Monkeys, staff, police, Health Department, Ombudsman, Adult Protection,... etc., etc.... and accused ME of doing the very Evil, and corrupt things THEY were doing. They staffed down, and doped my dad up (with those brain damaging psychotropic drugs)... Doped him into a comalike state. Put 2 back to back No Trespasses on me (lies on legal documents).
      In the end, my dad died without me, a Loved one by his side....(💔12.21.18).
      Pure EVIL!!! All because I was reporting on what most people don't see going on in these places.
      No, this doesn't happen to every resident at nursing homes in the world,.... but more than you would even imagine!!! My dad and I were left to fend for ourselves, when I complained, they came after us. They like to target people who don't seem to have a big support system. They see them as vulnerable, and go after them with abuse. Much like the Bible talks about.... The stray lamb, VULNERABLE and open, easy prey to the wolf in sheep's clothing.
      Yes, this kind of evil still happens today, maybe more than ever, only better hide.

Violent persons have to be kept apart from others, so that they won´t harm others, but that does not mean at all that thay can be harmed in any way. And anyone who wants to be helped can and should be helped; if we don´t help them, God will. / As it is shown, talk, acceptance, kindness, truth help a one who needs to find or win his dignity back and wants it.
