Amazing Movie

Rating: 9/10 (24 May 2018)

I would rate "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest," directed in 1975 by Milos Forman, 9 out of 10 stars. The actors in this film were very well casted. All the actors looked and fit their part. I don't think they could have found better actors for the characters in this movie. The characters were easy to connect with and relate to. Jack Nicholson does an excellent job playing the role of the stubborn McMurphy, and Louise Fletcher does a good job playing the role of the mean and scary Nurse Ratched. Watching them two bicker and compete against each other during the whole movie was quite enjoyable. The movie was pretty well paced. None of the scenes in the movie seemed rushed to the point where you wouldn't be able to understand what is going on. My favorite scene in the movie is when McMurphy brings the women onto the ward and they cause chaos during the night while Nurse Ratched is gone. The only thing about this movie that I did not like is that it does not follow the book completely. There are some scenes from the movie that are included from book such as the fishing trip and McMurphy and Chief Bromden getting sent up to Disturbed. Some events not shown in the movie are Cheswick's death and Chief's hallucinations. Chief also was not very prominent in the movie as he was in the book, which was kinda disappointing. Because of this criteria, I recommend watching this movie. I think it is one of the greatest films ever made.
