Review of The Manchurian Candidate (1962) by Andy S — 26 Nov 2017

Pretty amazing how they shot that dream sequence. This movie does a great job at showing the horrors of war and what PTSD can really do to a man, its horrifying.

I've never seen Frank Sinatra act. Seeing him in this film, I can say without a doubt that he is one multitalented son of a bitch. He really can do it all. I also want to mention what a beauty Janet Leigh is and what a fox. A real sight for sore eyes.

It's insane to think that stuff like this probably happens even to this day. Brainwashing and creating a killer is something the war already does but to manipulate it and use it within government is something I don't even want to think about. That being said, Raymond's mother is an evil and conniving little bitch.

I'm glad that movies like these are made. It just proves that either, A: people are thinking about these things and putting a creative spin on it all, or B: that these kinds of nightmarish things actually happen and are never documented.

You should also pay attention to your dreams. They could definitely be telling you something.

Overall, a pretty dark movie but with a lot of important information that should be discussed and examined. After all these kinds of things are bound to happen or have already happened.
