Cass, I hope I didn't overstate it. That is really in the background, and it happens to be something I am alert for in films--the metamessages, political messages, etc. Kind of radical of me.

Really, mostly the movie takes place in the foreground, between and among the patients. As I said, the background of the hospital is just a setting, it doesn't play much of a role. My reading of the political message is from look for it in the background. It really isn't there in the foreground.

In a way, the main character finds and exerts her power through the course of the film. She finds out how to choose her own path.

Just wanted you to know this, because it might be a film you would value seeing.
