>mental institutions are le bad we should let insane people roam freeWhat are some other movies with bad messages?
>drugs are... LE GOOD
shnidlers listthey released the jews to the earth and look what their doing
>>217022022>mental institutions are le badThe message is more like: "All institutions are bad, and if you're an ageing holdover from the 1960s with a huge sense of self-entitlement, then you should chimp out at institutions wherever you find them."
>>217022022The message wasnt that mental institutions were bad, the message was that the things taking place in mental institutions was bad you fucking moronThis is like watching Schindlers List and your takeaway being that the director wanted people to think that camps were bad, you know, like summer sleepaway campsThe message was that death camps are bad
>>217022022Closing the big asylums did save taxpayers money. Most mental cases are not dangerous and can simply be drugged into compliance and live in subsidized apartments or private homes without causing any trouble. There are several such houses in the suburban area I live in. Ordinary looking houses owned by the county which has 6 ~ 10 or so mentally ill people and a staff of caretakers. People who cant manage this way end up homeless and eventually in jail which are the new asylums. The majority of people have a better quality of life than being warehoused in a huge asylum for life.

>>217022837>The message wasnt that mental institutions were badYeah, actually, it was. That film project was funded by Eli Lily. Ronald Reagan was California governor during production and a big part of his platform was slashing government spending.Guess what? Mental institutions were bottomless money pits that couldn't be operated privately because they had zero chance at breaking even, much less turning a profit.Eli Lily had the brilliant idea to push "out patient" mental health care with a very drug-centric protocol. Particularly the SSRI drugs they were developing. This cheap-skate move aligned with Reagan's vision of slashing government spending. Him being a Hollywood guy, was in the perfect position to put the pharma money people and the film production people together and fund a major film shitting on mental institutions. You know how the rest of it turned out. 5 years later, Reagan gets elected president and one of his moves was to put SSRI drugs on the medicare schedule and end federal funding for every mental institution in the country.And THAT is why every city in the country is flooded with mentally ill people. "Out patient" bullshit they can't pay for, won't stay compliant with, blah, blah.And a big part of that was this movie making boomers feel bad about mental institutions through fucking big-pharma manipulation.
People who claim to understand how jury deliberations are supposed to happen claim that Twelve Angry Men is totally bogus.
>>217022022I feel bad for the glowie working on during new year's eve. What did you do to deserve this? Did you refuse to destabilize a foreign country or what?
