Book vs Movie. Who will win?!?!

Rating: 4/10 (24 May 2018)

"One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" (OFOCN) was released in 1975; it is based on the novel by Ken Kesey and is directed by Milos Forman. The movie centers around R.P McMurphy (Jack Nicholson). In an attempt to escape from the work yards in the penitentiary, McMurphy fakes a mental illness, leading to him being admitted into a mental hospital. There, he befriends many of the other patients in the ward and attempts to break them out of the strict and monotonous routine set by Head Nurse Ratched (Louise Fletcher). In the book, Chief played the main role, however; in the movie, McMurphy is the main character. Like this instance, many other important events in the book were not displayed in the movie. The movie itself was good, and if I hadn't read the book, I would've gave it a better rating. All in all, I would rate "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" a 4 out of 10.
