Asylum is an excellent and beautiful portrayal of the evil things humans are capable of. It is a love story...of sorts.
It is the love story between the wife who married the asshole doctor, who then meets a patient in the psychiatric ward whom she falls in love with. Then has a torrid affair with. Then leaves her family to be with him when he escapes. Then, then, then...she doesn't even care that he murdered and mutilated his wife and that's how he ended up in the asylum in the first place.
That's what we call unconditional love. The love that would make you leave your family; the love that makes you do dumb things. Love sounds quite terrible.
Ian McKellan is the most evil character you will ever encounter. His fascination with passion knows no boundaries and for the small price of audience's respect he becomes immortalized as an absolute genius.
There is not one single healthy relationship in this entire movie. The marriages which don't included murder, the relationships which don't include spousal abuse, are full of boring bourgeois servitude, paltry dinner talk, and zero understanding of the concept of self-respect.
Passion and love are free to do as they please in this movie. If anyone tells you they love you...be afraid, be very afraid. Watch this movie and smile. This movie is satisfaction.
