...HAVE yet to substantiate two charges made in the first paragraph--that Forman's film is sexist and crypto-fascist. Both are words meant to surprise and offend, particularly since they have been so over-used by the very people who might be expected to agree with the premises of this film. In the first place, the whole tenor and action of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is sexist. McMurphy sees his treatment in the asylum as emasculating and his favorite response to the greyhaired doctors is to startle them with crude '50s locker-room talk. The feminine...

Ferrara wants us to believe that's not true--he denies that a handgun's only purpose is to kill people. Admittedly, there are secondary functions of torturing and maiming, but American society does not condone these either...
...erred by including President Bok's name in the third paragraph as one who has "no faith in the House system." Otherwise I stand completely behind my story...
