i would watch this, but lobotomies squick me out so much...

it's almost like, did this happen to me in a past life visceral terror. same thing with spinal damage or eye gore

[omni_videns]

Ditto on the lobotomies. It was one of the hardest scenes in "From Hell" for me.

A part of me feels like this character does not deserve any more exploration.

I disagree, so much, because I don't think the book or movie really cared for or wanted to deal with the framing misogyny of making Nurse Ratchet the face a system she was only middle management (at best) for, but I have no faith this is going to do that lol.

[eronanke]

I mean, it's been a long time since I've read the book, but I think the whole point of the character wasn't that she was grand or had a full, rich, inner life - she stood for mundane cruelties, random cruelties, and targeted cruelties of systems designed for compliance.

I think it's a bad idea, but when you see who produced it, it's, like, "yeah, that makes sense that he would want to revisit Asylum but with more money."

[justrachna]

Yeah I agree, not every villain needs to be humanized

[merel_93]

Lol yeah the more money bit... So she's an orphan, works a job as a nurse that by all means isn't a grand pay, but the wardrobe is that of a socialite? Please.

Ken Kesey said the real Ratched was a “whole lot more human” than he had remembered.

Are there ANY good origin stories of pre-existing villains? they're all totally unnecessary and stupid right?

except wicked

[lyra_loo]

I absolutely hate the book version of Wicked. The musical is so good tho!

[colossusx]

i hate RM's version of the 50s, it's like his only reference was a Sears catalog.
