I had heard about this (near Legendary) film for years, and seen reviews giving strong indication that it was perhaps one of the most underrated (and also perhaps most misunderstood) movies of all- time. Sounds too good to be true, right?! But I came away with the following observations: William Peter Blatty's screenplay and direction generates a film experience that is uniquely original, intensely thought- provoking, and even courageous to a large- degree ==> presenting the basic scenario of a recuperative military- institution (looking like an ancient- Castle) housing a cadre of psychologically damaged 'Lost- souls' (mostly War veterans probably suffering from PTSD's, but also including a wayward Astronaut who refused to land- on- the Moon?!).... Stacy Keach is colonel Kane who has just arrived to oversee treatment of the 'inmates' One seemingly unhinged (and manic) patient named Cutshaw (amazing performance by Scott Wilson) presents a particular challenge, directly raising the age- old question of why there is so much excessively cruel (and seemingly pointless) suffering & countless acts of horror committed in our World (usually perpetrated against the innocent) = doesn't this prove beyond a reasonable doubt that God doesn't (and actually can't) exist = if he has no power (or interest) in stopping all this needless suffering!? Colonel Kane's/Keach's response is basically that drawing such a direct conclusion is not so simple because with all the overwhelming cruelty, the great unanswered 'mystery' about Life is why there should also exist within human beings those heavenly traits of compassion/ empathy/ self- sacrifice, etc. The Ninth Configuration NEW PAL Classic DVD William Peter Blatty Stacy Keach.
