COMMENTS?

I recently had the urge to rewatch this film, probably due to my psychology class. Good call, since it still holds up over the numerous times I've seen it. By far one of Jack's greatest roles, and such a powerful film.

The funny thing is that it turns out that my psych professor is having his abnormal psychology class watch the film, too. I saw the DVD on his table, and talked to him about it and the book for a little earlier today. Hence why I made this talkback.

One of the best movies ever, and what I think is Nicholsons best role.

We had to watch that in English class long ago, but I thought it was great when The Simpsons parodied the last scene.  So different from Sucker Punch.
