Divide by Zero
The Living Force
I took something extra from this film.
Spoiler alert:
The man who comes to the asylum shows that he can treat many of the patients with kindness and understanding- by communicating with them in the way that their problems persist. This was contrary to what the establishment was doing- which was drugging, shock, torture, and so on.
He falls in love with Eliza, a patient who was sent there by her husband due to hysteria, which was common for men to do at the time with women who couldn't "play their role".
In one scene, he is begging for Eliza to save him, and she responds that every man uses her as some trophy, to own, to show off. He responds that it is not that with him, but that she possesses him instead!
(It was the right thing for him to say to her- as she had hysteria because of how men treated her like an object.)
Near the end, we learn that he actually was a mental patient who fell in love with Eliza during a demonstration of one of the establishment psychologists. This drove him to escape, find her, and help people. He adopted the name of the doctor from that day and his notes/plans, thus was able to visit the asylum before him.
So, what I took from it was pretty funny given the timing of what I put on facebook last night. The doctors were really insane in their treatment of the patients, by brute force treatment.
Ironically, it was this mental patient who was able to exhibit useful treatment by treating the person, not the symptoms. Same for Eliza, who had histeria only because of what was happening to other women of the time- being treated like an object/posession.
