Other patients include a nuclear physicist, a Tennessee boy convinced he's in the midst of the Civil War, and a roomful of scantily clad nymphomaniacs, all of whom give the hero something to think about. If you imagine that the film's basic situation, and its episodes of violence (a riot, a rape, an attempted lynching) have possible metaphorical significance regarding the American soul, you're right, but it's a good idea...
