"Don't make a bit of sense to me."

Rating: Null/10 (9 December 2008)

I was truly exited when I decided to watch this movie. Top 250? Check! Oscar winning picture? Check! One of the most famous A-list actors in it? Check!Oh boy...where do I start? I know I belong to a minority when I say this but I hated this movie.So R.P. McMurphy is a man with several assault convictions that has raped a 15 year old girl thus he's in jail.Supposedly he acted like a crazy person in prison in order to avoid it but was sent to an asylum.Basically after a while McMurphy starts to bond (only a little bit)with the other patients mainly with a "chief" who pretended to be deaf. McMurphy also stands out as the only sane person in there.McMurphy starts a feud with head nurse Mildred Ratched who tries to keep the voluntary patients in the asylum for ever.One day McMurphy and the chief decide to escape, and McMurphy calls his girlfriends to help.They come, then they all party hard and McMurphy instead of escaping falls asleep.That's right he doesn't pass out, he just falls asleep after he planned an escape which is plain stupid.Tired of seeing McMurphy causing problems the staff give him a lobotomy.In the day after,the chief succeeds to escape but first kills McMurphy so he wouldn't stay "like that" in that place. This is the story, there's nothing more to it. Now where's the brilliance of this movie? I don't get it. Five Oscars?! Louise Fletcher won an Oscar for her performance and that has to be a joke.Am I the only who realizes her screen time was like 15 minutes? The final verdict: this movie is boring,slow-paced, the story has no interest whatsoever , it doesn't deserve a single Oscar( in my opinion of course)and its definitely one of the most disappointing movies I have ever seen. 3/10
