i have read a lot of negative opinion and but fortunately i do not take them seriously . i have find in this film exactly what i have expect a deep look into typical modern man program for lifetime . there nearly everything what important and on top today repression of emotion and repression of sexuality and repression of basic drive for power and survival . all in one . and all of these be be reveal right into it true and fully mad picture by jack nicholson and a person whom i reckon the second most deprogrammed actor in the world and after the great anthony hopkins . this be a great film and but not for purpose of mindless entertainment and rather for purpose of know self . i strongly recommend this film .
