I know. And Billy had his whole life ahead of him he was only what like 20 years old ? He was trying to have the time of his life and all nurse ratchet could think is he raped that woman. Wow.

yah macmurphy was curing the patients...unlike her who never helped

Just kinda sucks that people use their power for selfish reasons all the time, even deviating from what their job should be. Look at American Congress, and better yet all US political positions. A system based on bribery is entrenched in our political system that no longer cares about the people, but about money because now "money is free speech". Bit of a tangent there but I just can't stand people who do their job terribly just for personal gain.

Megan Spark She has all the characteristics of a psychopath.

I saw this movie when I was very little and now again as a teen and what hit me the most is that as a child I remember my dad saying something about her being abusive but I couldn't understand why he would say such things, since she just seemed to me like a (serious) professional, that just couldn't do what every patience wanted for the reasons she would very respectfully answer. And now I see _that's_ what is the most evil about her! She isn't an over the top evil character, a very obvious fictional villan.. Her cruelty is subtle, in a way an innocent can't really tell (but it messes with your mind if you're in the situation). She played _perfectly_!

That's why the world needs rebels, they don't let people like this get the control they crave

With those skills, she would be promoted to administration!

In my opinion, he was the greatest actor of that scene

@Aldo Flores Bonilla an amazing portrayal of a truly evil person. She has no reason to belittle someone so hard when they’re actually struggling, other than her perverse love of making people feel small. One of the greatest villains of all time. 100% deserved her Oscar.

Right! Billy had his whole life ahead of him he was only what like 20 years old ? He was trying to have the time of his life and all nurse ratchet could think is he raped that woman. Wow.

Didn't know she passed away. May she be remembered as intended

A diva for sure

Absolutely.

@@sheisnotmyname She's not a diva, I think you've misunderstood the meaning really here. Louise Fletcher was very humble.

exactly...she is still consider3ed to be the most despised movie villain in history...definitely earned that and for good reason... phenomenal acting

When We Were Young and Mom was in that mood we would walk by each other and say ratchet

@@jurgenbrueggmann6259 Did any of you have any sympathy for her after watching ratched on Netflix. She is to this movie what Olivia Winfield aka The Grandmother was to Flowers In The Attic but when you see what her life was like between 1918-1957 you understand why she went all cray cary.

Unreal...all of them

You mean Cheswick??? I loved him in this. Jack himself did win the Oscar for this movie along with Louise Fletcher. And the movie won.

Billy, was awesome in this. His acting WAS incredible.

Billy(Brad) did deserve it.

Brooke Hanley you know Billy/Brad does the voice of Chucky.

I do not think she deserved the Oscar at all. She was very good, but not Oscar Deserving in my,opinion

So true, esp '...but rather a person that could very plausibly (and almost certainly does) exist in real life'.

she was just like my kindergarten teacher...

She is exactly like my mother. The same cold tone, the same manipulative ways. It's uncanny.

She passed away. R.I.P Louise Fletcher (Nurse Ratched)

What a marvelous job of acting 👏 may she rest in peace ! 🙏

Every actor here deserved oscar

I just saw her movie for the first time yesterday while she was taking her last breath in real life. I can't believe it.

@@Milan9Zlatangoogle I only saw it in the last month, what a woman! Still she did very well to live to 88

wat

Robert Dubs HAHAHAHAHA!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!!

WhisperAudios ASMR I should've done this a year ago, but I nominate Nurse Ratched to do the ALS ice bucket challenge. You have 24 hours...

Hahahaha! The untold story of the third Wicked Witch!

LOL

I agree with you Steve, much is lost with the superfluous addition of stupid "dramatic" music. This film was directed by the Czech genius Milos Forman so it's not typical Hollywood.

Disagree on the modern movies part. Just expand your horizons.

MisterHeroman Let's just agree to disagree on modern films. My horizons are expansive but what I am seeing is not satisfying to me. Just my opinion, nothing subversive going on.

viciousspew I'd say Only God Forgives has even more.

viciousspew I have to agree with you on this.

then he assaulted her anyway

This is the best sum up

i agree, except she appears that way even without acting.

This is a flawless film

brilliant acting, one of the best films I've ever seen without a doubt.

She received death threats - some morons didn't understand it was excellent acting in a fictitious movie.

can you provide just one example of where she did anything evil in this movie? One example.

​@@AF-dn2bz Gaslighting, Manipulation, etc.

@@joshuagerthoffer2321 there is one example at the end of the movie where she handles their vandalism/sex/alcohol party by intimidating the young man about his mother's approval. Do you have any other specific examples from the movie up to that point? I can see dozens of examples where they gaslighted and manipulated her up to that point.

So true. What's even more scary is that there are people like that in real life. I was recently reading a book by a psychologist named Martha Stout called "The Sociopath Next Door" and if I recall correctly the stats are this - 1 in 25 people are sociopaths. In fact one of the people that was discussed in the book was a woman who impersonated a doctor in a mental institution. Anyway, this woman was jealous of another doctor who was admired by the patients and the rest of the staff. The doctor who was admired by everyone else was making headway with this one patient and the jealous doctor lied to him and told him that she in fact said that he was backsliding. This sent the patient into a psychological tailspin and the good doctor had to regain his trust. Eventually the woman was fired but it's still horrifying that this happened in the first place. Absolutely chilling.

@@colin6768 I have an in law like this

She ratchet... Lol

Totally - I love Sarah Paulson and think she’ll be great in the new Netflix series, but the cold, dead eyed glare in this is just something she won’t be able to do

@@dicarpio2177 Nope, especially not with Ryan Murphy in charge. He isn't incompetent, but the man wouldn't know subtlety if you slapped him in the face with it 😂.

Absolutely!

Good call!

No reason to cast anybody for it. Don't fuck with perfection.

@smilebackifyourugly And like everything else she does, she didn't do the character any justice

@@LumpyAdams Sarah did a good job knowing that it's a backstory. You act as if you know Nurse Ratched's story from when she was young ew

Won the Academy Award and she was also a beauty.

The Rolls Royce Trent she was incredible sweet person in real life...

Exactly. She is honestly so amazing in this movie!

The Rolls Royce Trent I don't know if you know this, but NO ONE bashed Louise Fletcher for this role. EVERYONE agreed with you, from the critics to the general public to the award members who voted for her. You're not alone in your thinking here!!

What are you talking about? Louise Fletcher NAILED this role to the point where I genuinely thought she was cruel and sadistic. In many ways, she was THE star in this movie.

My statement to make to Nurse Ratchet as a mental patient in that ward. I would tell her straight out lady it's not my problem nor anybody else's problem that you don't get paid enough to be nice to us patients that's no excuse why you should be evil towards us. If that's the case you better find yourself another job because being a nurse isn't for you if you have evilness in you.

Believe it or not, Sarah Paulson will portray the character in an upcoming series on Netflix

Skylar White

@@franklesher4459 yes, and she did so bad

Was actually a lesbian

@@lennonsgirl well I don't agree. People say this because they have seen Fletcher before in this role. Sarah did an amazing job.

Or Carrie White's mother

It's just like Fascist Japan, anyone who refused to bow and pray to the emperor's palace everyday and blow themselves up for their living god (the emperor) was lynched as a family of traitors and Hikokumin (Non-Japanese), to get the civilians to backstab and report on each other to get on the good side of the fascist government. Just like the patients in this story where everyone wants to tattle on each other for Ratched. Japanese ppl used to hang up (heavily doctored) photos of their emperor as all the old traditional gods in the shinto shrines were destroyed, the clergy all chased out into the mountains, and replaced with National Shintoism that worships nobody but the emperor. They were the first allahu akbars, complete with promise that the god/emperor will honor them after death in heaven. But the actual boys who went in those kamikazes wrote diaries about how they don't want to blow themselves up and the propaganda was a lie, and they have to have their cockpits screwn shut and fed meth to be dazed into sitting in the cockpit. But they couldn't refuse because the folks back home will be ratted out as parents of a traitor who refused to blow himself up in 1 of 1000s of Japanese suicide planes/boats/manned torpedos/diving suits. All the while they enslaved millions of people in forced labor and kidnapped or tricked underage girls into sexual slavery with 80 men quotas per day and sliced their belly up for the grave sin of getting too pregnant with some soldier's baby. Even forcibly impregnated them and experimented on them and their fetuses while being alive. Also bombed Asia for 31 years with WMDs like germs bombs and poison gas. Hiroshima was Japan's center for poison gas production, and ever since the Germans used mustard gas in WW1 and got justifiably retaliated with chemical weapons themselves, use of WMDs allows enemies to use WMDs on that nation. Germany has been sending their kids to Auschwitz to learn the terrible things their grandparents did that must never be repeated. Japan to this day keeps sending children to Hiroshima to museums that explicitly say America caused Pearl Harbor and wrongfully nuked an innocent peace-loving Japan that never did any wrong, when in reality Japan already killed 30 million people, and only attacked America because of their dependency on American oil imports to fuel their dozen invasions all over Asia, (which according to Japanese tradition, not once was declaration of war ever issued). Not to mention Japan also had 2 projects on developing nuclear bombs to nuke all of Asia and America. Look up F-Go atomic bomb *There's a good reason 1 billion Asians thanked America for liberating them with nukes, while Japan keeps preventing foreign slaves who survived forced labor in Japanese war factories in Hiroshima from coming to Japan to be asked for recognition.* Even trying to hide how they, after getting nuked, assessed the bomb site with their own nuclear research team and decided that the Americans beat them to the nuke and therefore they must send as many foreign slaves and keep all Japanese workers away from there just to clean the irradiated rubble without any warning or protection and throw their dying bodies into the sea with the irradiated rubble, so that Japan can play victim and cry about it to this day.

There are some future Batman villain actors in this movie that Tim Burton hired: · Brad Dourif as The Scarecrow (cancelled) · Danny DeVito as The Penguin · Jack Nicholson as The Joker · Vincent Schiavelli as The Organ Grinder

He was great.

Awesome actress! Loved her in DS9

So sad she died, I only got into this movie like a month ago. But I reckon her character here, Nurse Ratched, will live on for generations. She's an archetype.

She was absolutely brilliant. She played such an evil character so well.

I'm sorry you had to go through that. 😩

Weirdos are too busy jerking off to nurse Ratched thanks to the netflix series glorifying her

@@tunasandwich8049 yes I really dislike the new origin story thing it glorifies pure evil.

Never heard of the netflix thing. When I think of the movie the first thing I think about is Billy, actually. Really stuck with me. Everybody roots for an underdog. She fed the underdog glass.

It's precisely that when he's being dragged out.. he has the defeat and anger of a scared dog that gets me. Jesus. ​@@user-yi4wh7pj3j

HOWD YOU PREDICT THIS-

Hope you’ve watched the trailer

@@uriel8510 it was announced a while ago. Wow.

I'd rather not see non AHS-labeled AHS in all honesty.

It’s by Ryan Murphy the creator of AHS

The Gemini is dead.

Parisitic Pictures the book is quite different from the movie. The orderlies play a more prominent role in the book.

PariSitic Pictures Yep I read the book in high school, if I remember right she was more apathetic and allowed the orderlies to act on their evil instead of being the head of it like in the movie. Correct me if im wrong.

I think the best villains are the ones who don’t see themselves as the villain but the ones with the supposed “moral” high ground, and that what makes Nurse Ratchet so memorable!

After which Chucky was her best friend

Awesome and she wasnt a CGI monster either!

idk what imdb is but is definitely a lier cause standing only in paintings doesnt prove that you are not cold hearted and considering her age she would probably look like a monster with old (.)(.) falling

She what? 😂

​@@elliepowell1317It must have been very hard to live down this character. In The World of Soaps, Villians are in the same boat. In The UK, they get it just as hard, folks scream, threaten and do all kinds of bad things.

Ya can’t teach that!

Yup. THIS is how it is. Real sh it.

It’s called a covert narcissist, I know one, also a nurse. They present an impeccable image to the everyone but those closest to them, and their victims, they dress stylishly and wear their hair “done”, lipstick always on in public, a mask of charm and the smell of hairspray. No one suspects what torture they inflict on people they need to push down, they slowly whittle away the image of the victim in the eyes of those who matter to the victim and the victim themselves loose who they are eventually believing themselves quite insane, due to a technique called gaslighting. It’s all about a sense of power that the narcissist derives from the acts of betrayal, humiliation, torture, belittling, violence, emotion aggression, dominance and seeing the pain inflicted on their victims faces brings them pleasure in almost a manic, yet cold way, it’s like their version of a sense of humour, they struggle with other forms of humour the good natured kinds. You’ll rarely see them actually laughing except from something sadistic. Usually they will have at least one family member who is the classic scape goat, this person is usually completely estranged from the family and the black sheep who is still in the process of realising they can escape from the vicious cycle they’re trapped in.

what did they do to you? there was a nurse that trapped her own daughter to a wheel chair and forced her to fake it and take a bunch of medications and surgery stuff. dd and idk remember the name..its real the girl kiled her mother and was arrested wtf

Have you ever seen the "Willy Wonka Please Tell Me More" Meme photo?

@@flowrepins6663 Gypsy Rose?

No one else can do those facial expressions, the perfect combination of coldness and conviction that she is right in her methods

PeyserConley X I hate her so much. But that's probably why she's such a good actress. The role demanded she make her character as unlikeable as possible.

***** She just doesn't have a likeable personality. She had to play a character who is cold and strict. Doesn't show any compassion or kindness or any emotion for that matter. As a result, a person watching the movie is more likely not to trust her.

+Hooknosed Jack ...I like Nurse Ratched... I think it depends on the person who is watching her. Maybe it's because I'm an ISTJ, I doubt someone with the opposite personality would like her though.

+Gramma People hated "the man" around the time the book was written, and the "Big Nurse" embodies that idea.

+PeyserConley X I expected her to be worse when I heard about this movie. I actually kind of like her

Andolini73 Hair do. Sorry, I'm a woman and can't let that go!

Her hairstyle was actually a huge reason why she was not a good therapist It was an old fashioned hairstyle She has no personality . Life stopped for her

I didn't know that Louise Fletcher was in The Exorcist. But I have never been able to watch much of it. She was awesome as the Grandmother in the 1987 version of Flowers In The Attic. She played the part of Olivia Foxworth to perfection

You’ve confused her with Ellen Burstyn.

@@LeonardoRed15 , no I am not talking about the Lifetime movie version. The version I am talking about was before the Lifetime movie version. The one I am referring to has Victoria Tennent as the mother, Louise Fletcher as the Grandmother, Kristy Swanson as Cathy.

i bet she was a femnist

?

@@MsSmitty9 ?

@@richalderson6069 I’m guessing you had a 6th grade teacher that abused you ? If so that’s brutal. You have my sympathy.

@@MsSmitty9 Her name was Mrs Mildred. Pious, disciplinary old cow, all the kids hated her.

Gary Cameron Same here. She wanted total control. The boy was trying to be a man. He didn't stutter until she made him afraid. She scared this guy so badly, he kills himself. She should've been charged with manslaughter.

its because he stood up to her for not being ashamed, so she tried to make him feel shame by telling him his mother will be ashamed once she tells her. She is so ugly inside and unprofessional and no humanity or empathy. His fear of his mom finding out sent him over the edge. And he is a young man who had never been with a woman before there wasn't anything to be ashamed about. She made him beg and pathetically lie saying he was forced to do it and still after all he does she still wouldn't tell him she wouldn't tell his mother. Sadistic person. These days you have confidentialty if you are over 18 and even under 18.

Billy should have called her on her bluff and looked her right in the face and said, "go ahead and tell her, in fact get me the phone, ill call and tell her myself."

That's why McMurphy choked her after Billy was found dead. Because Nurse Ratched's manipulation led to a shame so great he committed suicide. She was evil and got less than she deserved

***** Hahaha!!! You wouldn't believe the people that send me pictures of her (from all over the world!!!) insisting I must be this chick!!! I even have one friend in Europe who asked me if I would wear my nurses' cap and uniform next time we're on video chat!!! OMG!!! It really is TOO FUNNY!! :D ~RED ☮♥♫
