The rebellion of the mental patient is far-fetched and not terrifying enough

I watched it on zx's big TV.
The story happened in 1899. At the beginning of the film, a psychiatric professor brought a hysterical woman into the classroom and made her sick by touching her private parts, behaving very inhumanly.
Then, a young doctor who graduated from Oxford University came to a psychiatric hospital built on the hill away from the city, intending to study and work here.
He discovered that the management method here is to allow mental patients and medical staff to co-exist and participate in labor and celebrations together.
He ate a grand dinner here. During the dinner, he found that the manager had said some vulgar, not funny jokes, and made everyone laugh. He accused the manager on the spot, and then the manager asked him. Have a glass of wine.
When he was about to drink, the hysterical woman kicked him and the wine spilled.
The hysterical woman pulled him out of the meeting, under the pretext of helping him wash his clothes, but actually persuaded him to leave. She said that the management staff here are not good people.
He was puzzled, but because he didn't know the reason, he didn't leave.
Then, he found that the original medical staff was imprisoned in the basement, and the mental hospital was occupied by patients.
Later, two prisoners escaped and were caught, one jumped off the cliff, the other died in a barrel, and was taken back.
The original dean used some inhumane treatment methods with the intention of driving the patient crazy again for treatment. The current dean felt that he was very cruel, and used electric shocks to make him a dementia.
The dean wants to make all the patients dementia.
During the New Year's Eve, the young doctor defeated the assistant to the dean. The assistant strangled his dancing partner, a little girl, who was a madman.
Inspired and prompted by the old dean, the doctor found the dean’s medical record and intended to heal him by understanding him.
The doctor wanted to get everyone drunk. It was revealed by the assistant.
The dean will give the doctor an electric shock. The doctor showed the dean a picture of him when he was a child.
The dean went crazy and left.
The assistant continued to deliver the electric shocks. But she was obstructed by the hysterical woman, and then she was pulled off the switch by a beast-like patient and set it on fire.
Mental patients are laughing.
The doctor broke free and found the dean. The dean originally shot and killed a room of wounded and medical staff during the war. He wanted to commit suicide but could not die.
The doctor told him that the war was over.
The dean became demented.
The hysteria freed all the prisoners.
The doctor left with the hysterical woman, and finally seemed to go to Spain, living a better life as the former dean.
The real doctor came to the hospital. It turned out that the previous doctor was his patient. He was obsessed with a hysterical woman, so he pretended to be his identity. He was a liar and impersonating patient with other diseases.
The mystery is revealed.

The plot is not reasonable. The actor is obviously a normal person.

In the film, the difference between mental patients and normal people is not clear. The cure is also weird. For the one who pretended to be the dean, dementia ended up being treated as a cure.
Normal people seem to be abusing mental patients, which also seems to be a certain degree of mental illness.

Okay.
