what a mad, insane movie - and thats a compliment

Rating: 9/10 (2 October 2001)

This is one of the all-time greatest movies ever. and every good review u've heard about it is true. One flew over the cuckoos nest captures the madness of a lunatic asylum brilliantly, without going overboard or overly melodramatic.
jack nicholson breathes the role and louis fletcher also does brilliantly. the dialogs are witty and amusing, capturing the effect of the movie beautifully. there is not one scene in the movie thats out of place or boring.
the pace of the movie is steady and the story is built up slowly but steadily. in the hands of lesser directors and actors, this movie could have been considered too slow. but the terrific actors and the gripping direction keep the flow going through out and makes it very entertaining.
the end, in my opinion, is slightly disappointing - but rather fitting. its just personal opinion. most people love the ending. do not miss this terrific drama, thats more than just a story about a man in a mental asylum. this is a movie about how we choose to live.
an insane 9!!
