A Great Cast and Amazing Direction

Rating: 9/10 (24 June 2016)

Cuckoo's Nest is one of those movies where you can watch endless times and see something new every time. Every character has their own life, DeVito's "Martini" is one of my favorites. The movie can make you laugh and cry, or smile and want to break the screen, but in the end, the movie is a perfect example of what film can do. Milos Foreman tells the story so crisp and clear it is like viewing a movie in 4K. Nicholson gives hands down one of the most memorable characters ever that has ever been in film and the patients besides McMurphy (Nicholson) are portrayed so well that it is easy to forget that they are acting. It's hard to adapt great books into film, but this is one of the circumstances in which the book is just as good as the movie. A goofy, dramatic, heartwarming film that will be timeless to me and I hope others.
