फ़ीचर्ड समीक्षाएं
It is hard to view this film and watch the dehumanization and brutalization of these patients. They are shown naked being provoked into angry outbursts by the guards, force-fed, locked in solitary confinement naked with a metal bucket for a toilet and hundreds of other indignities. Even the fact that the film-makers had such access is a shocking violation since patients committed involuntarily are unable to give informed consent.
But this was made in 1967 before modern anti-psychotic medications were developed. As a Clinical Social Worker who has worked extensively with the chronic mentally ill over the last decade, I was shocked to see how primitive the treatment methods were, even though I was prepared by my research in graduate school. Tranquilizers were being prescribed to mitigate the symptoms of paranoia, the psychiatric interviews with patients included lots of leading questions and they were treated rudely and dismissively even when the patients were making some good points about their commitments.
It was obvious that the staff and volunteers were just doing the best they could, but I have less sympathy for the Hungarian psychiatrist who at times seemed as disturbed as his patients. The volunteers running games and parties and shows reminded me of the Friendly Visitors to the Poor, those well-intentioned 19th C. socialites who volunteered to sing hymns and read the Christian bible to poor people in the tenements to "improve" their lives.
All in all, this is a very worthwhile film and highly recommended to professionals and interested others in the mental health field. Yes, there are some definite ethical problems in the way this was created, but as a historical record it is invaluable. I give this 9/10.
At the time, the government of Massachusetts claimed it was biased and purposefully sensational. Doctors and nurses going through their routines tend to look uncaring. However, details like the dirty water hydrotherapy patients are stuck in tell a different story. Massachusetts fought its release for years, and it was banned from showing in that state for decades.
Titicut had a long and troubled history. At times a almshouse, a workhouse and a prison for the criminally insane, at the time this movie was made, the staff was short-handed and undercrtrained, and the administration was a disgrace. There was one 'patient' who had been sent there in 1910 for an evaluation during his two-year prison term, and was still there in 1968.
Bridgewater is still open.
TITICUT FOLLIES is a very shocking film, I would only recommend it with caution to others.

- ट्रिवियाAlong with Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story (1987), which is illegal due to copyright issues, this is the only American film banned from release for reasons other than obscenity or national security. 'Titicut Follies' was filmed inside the Massachusetts Correctional Institution at Bridgewater, a prison hospital for the criminally insane. After the Commonwealth of Massachusetts sued the filmmakers, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruled that the film constituted an invasion of inmate privacy and ordered the withdrawal of the film from circulation.

Patient: How did the first Great War start? Because of a demand by the Austrian Hungary Dynasty for the execution of an accomplice who already was sentenced to life imprisonment in, um, in Serbia. Yet they demanded a prosecution for execution for Austria-Hungary laws! What does that mean? They wanted execution! The war was fought over execution! The same execution that is going on in Vietnam; over making an execution over these natives of Vietnam. They're not Vietcong, they're not communists. Whatever the American Government doesn't like, they use the - they foist on this term "communist". Because I speak the way I do, you gonna call me a communist? I'm not a communist! Even though, I have communist affiliations. Communist really means Community-ist. That's what we are if you want to call us communists because we are FOR our community. We like the well-standards. We're for the people. And that's what they call these uh... what do they call? these people that talk about a new matter... Agitators! We agitate... do we start these troubles? I'm a communist because I expound my views about the world conditions? It's the duty of every citizen to expound his views or her views of what goes on in the world. If more of them expounded their views about the conditions in the world, less chaotic conditions would exist. And the nuclear war is gonna happen not because - not what i say, not what all these war-mungers or peace-mungers blab about because all throughout the ages you will find: every time a new weapon was put out they say its the end of war. They said the submarine was the end of war, what happened? The gas masks put an end to war. What happened? They got masks. What about these submarines that are supposed to control the seas? What happened? They got airplanes that drop def-charges. You look through the ages and you find new weapon is put out, somebody puts out a counter-weapon. But the nuclear weapon doesn't stop because people are stock-piling. Anybody who starts stock-piling weapons eventually uses them! They get tired of stock-piling them and they use them. They're just like kids. They figure they got toys to play with, they're gonna play with those toys!
