<\/a>By Janet Grace<\/strong><\/p>\nRATCHED, a suspenseful murder mystery drama, details the preliminary story of the character, Nurse Ratched, from the 1975 Dramedy: One Flew Over The Coo-Coos Nest, starring Jack Nicholson, Louise Fletcher, Danny DeVito Christopher Lloyd, and Will Sampson.<\/p>\n
30 years before “Coo-Coo, the stage is set in 1947, two years after World War Two. It’s the story of a woman who seeks employment as a nurse at a mental asylum in North Carolina with possible nefarious reasons behind it. As sweet as she seems is as spicy as she becomes to gain a means to her end.<\/p>\n
With this all star award winning cast, it’s easy to look away from the 2 inch Mary Jane pumps, worn by NO ONE during any age of nursing. I found that at times, the background music fought to command the plot more than the actors did, yet despite this, you can settle in to watch a series which looks like it’s going somewhere.<\/p>\n
The fashion of the day and beautiful cinematography absolutely stole the show. The bright colors and beauty surrounding every scene gave even the most gruesome, cringeworthy violent scenes, a gorgeous backdrop.<\/p>\n
Having an eye for fashion and style, I was wishing I could’ve watched it with my mom, a dress designer and seamstress, who would have tailor made me a few of those fabulous dresses, just by seeing them on the screen.<\/p>\n
The show weaves in six major points, which are still alive and well, 73 years later:<\/p>\n
\u25cf 1. The pervasive misogynistic bias and discrimination which women were subjected to in that era and are again, thanks to those who exhibit it without remorse.<\/p>\n
\u25cf 2. Discrimination of what we now lovingly call our LGBQT Community.<\/p>\n
\u25cf 3. The beginning of feminism and women’s empowerment movement, which rose in response to it.<\/p>\n
\u25cf 4. The mistreatment and abuse of minors in the system.<\/p>\n
\u25cf 5. Pedophilia: the worst evil in the world<\/p>\n
\u25cf 6. The corruption in government of using prisoners and the mentally disabled as political pawns and in immoral human experiments.<\/p>\n
The film is a dog whistle to those listening that there is still a lot of work to be done in our world.<\/p>\n
It held my attention enough to watch the entire series in its entirety in one sitting. The all-star cast, a few from the beloved American Horror Show, nailed their characters perfectly.<\/p>\n
Sarah Paulsen is always on point. She brought Nurse Ratched to life with her flawless performance. Ratched is calculating, conniving, manipulative for altruistic reasons. She’s a deeply caring individual who would not think twice of doing whatever she had to do to secure her means.<\/p>\n
Sharon Stone was a pleasure to see again. She reminded us of why she was always a favorite. She commanded her quirky character with all of her “Sharon-ness”, personifying Miss Leonore Osgood, the wealthy mother of a psychopathic son.<\/p>\n
Cynthia Nixon, known for her Sex In The City character, Miranda Hobbs, a treasure in her own right, takes you into the heart of a woman who loves without measure in a world where who you love could be an issue.<\/p>\n
Vincent D’Onofrio was unrecognizable, completely immersed in his character, Governor Wilburn, a cross between Boss Hogg from Dukes Of Hazzard and a certain criminal in chief who shall remain as nameless as he will be when we’re through with him.<\/p>\n
“The end justifies the means” is every single character’s silent motto in the movie and THAT is what makes this so captivating. I recommend it, with two thumbs up and four stars. They’re already filming season 2, and while this is neither AHS, or a spin-off, it’s equally interesting.<\/p>\n
