Quotes
Dr. Ewen Cameron: The rules that come with mental patients are that a third get better, a third get worse and a third remain the same. Do you know what I mean by that?
Nurse Stephens: No, I'm sorry, I don't.
Dr. Ewen Cameron: Psychiatry is smoke'n'mirrors and mumbo-jumbo. My degree isn't worth the paper that it's written on!
[sits on piano angrily]
Nurse Stephens: We didn't get the Smith money did we?
Dr. Ewen Cameron: We didn't deserve the goddamn money! Wilder Penfield got it!
[wolfs down a whole cup of alcohol]
Dr. Ewen Cameron: Well at least he does research.

I worked in a psychiatric hospital, such as Louis-Hippolyte-Lafontaine in 2009 and I can tell that the actors are credible. It could not be more realistic than that, it's the real scene. The techniques changed, but I can tell that ethic is still a problem because patients are over medicated and look like the patients in the movie.

It's for sure that electroshock is a drastic and unscientific practises and this movie make us feel some of the emotions of patients had and that's excellent. I was shocked about the truth and I am glad that I know that the Canada government did not do anything to save the patients in Montreal.
