Does "A Beautiful Mind" have a scene in a hospital?

Does "A Beautiful Mind" have a scene in a hospital?

Have you seen it?

 

[robotsimon]

Yes, quite a while ago. I know most of it is set in a university type place and a lot of it seems to be set in his head. Does he get carted off at some point? It didn't make that much of an impression on me to be honest.

Well then, why mention it on this thread then?

In the Mouth of Madness
Asylum
Batman Forever

Don't you mean Batman Begins? That's when Arkham Asylum is recreated in all its hideous glory.

 

[robotsimon]

Because I have a vague recollection that it may have contained a scene in a psychiatric hospital - it certainly involves a person with psychiatric problems.

The OP seemed to be asking for a list of films which contain such scenes. As I could not remember clearly whether 'A Beautiful Mind' contained such a scene, I asked on this the thread. The OP did not ask whether we had watched or enjoyed the films in question.

Hope that puts your mind at rest

 

[Orang Utan]

I would have thought it meant memorable scenes!

 

[Donna Ferentes]

Nope. Except insofar as anything which somebody remembers might be referred to as memorable.

 

[robotsimon]

So, anyway, does 'A Beautiful Mind' have a scene in a psychiatric hospital or not? Anyone?

 

[Donna Ferentes]

Can't remember!

There's a film of Prozac Nation, isn't there? That's got to have one.

Quills is set in one for almost the entire film. But then I seem to be the only person who's ever seen this movie, so you'll have to trust me...

 

[Red O]

Sling Blade, IIRC.

I did think about mentioning the (superb) Quills, but wondered if France circa the revolution could really boast anything that'd be classed as a psychiatric hospital in modern parlance Top film though.

arkham asylum isn't in batman begins. it's at the end of batman forever where they lock up the riddler.

Oh yes it is, the nasty Doctor Crane imprisons the big crime boss and uses his scarecrow mask in a hideously scary scene and then a bit later, the lunatics take over the asylum as all hell breaks loose. I can't remember Batman Forever but I've seen Batman Begins about 3 times in last 12 months cos i got my son the dvd and its a damn fine movie.

 

[Reno]

Terminator

A Clock Work Orange - He gets sent to some weird place at the end I think.

 

[Donna Ferentes]

Terminator

I don't think so. Only in the sequel which has already been referred to.

A Clock Work Orange - He gets sent to some weird place at the end I think.

Again, I don't think so. Are you thinking of the prison?

The film of Slaughterhouse V.

Regeneration? by Pat Barker. (well she was the author of the book anyway).

WW1 film about poets Wilfred Owen and Sassoon. Sure there was a scene where Owen visits Sassoon in a Psych. ward in Scotland somewhere.
