Is he crazy? Well, anybody who don't like this movie IS!!!!

Rating: 10/10 (2 July 2000)

This is simply if not the best, than at least one of the best movies ever. Milos Forman invites us to his movie in the credits (naturally) and at the first scene, you already then feel that this is going to be something special. And my God it was! This movie simply has got everything! Humor, Drama, tenderness, empathy, realism, evil. That's one reason I love it. The other? Well, It's once again a tale of the endless battle against good and evil, something that appeals me very much. These two things are the things that makes a movie very good (thats why STAR WARS is my nr.1, good vs. evil and has got every genre in the world).
Now, Milos Forman is a very original director. I have only seen one of his movies (LARRY FLYNT) from this, and the two are similar in direction, I realize as I write this. And now it's nothing I can put my word on, but it is. Over to One Flew... It is a very tenderness tale that shows true love of life, and proves that people aren't as crazy as they look. The plot and script didn't lack, who said this? I don't think I have seen one better movie that contains this emotional love. Nothing is dull or boring. Nothing is stupid. No emotions fail. It is a movie witch includes sentimentality that doesn't blow over (that's unusual in a movie from America). Nothing is unbelievable or too amazing. Everything that happens seems realistic. All of this are thoughts born by thoughts that has been in my head ever since I saw this movie. And a 100%-realistic film, that keeps you thinking two weeks later has got to be a good film.
Acting, no words to say. JACK NICHOLSON in one of his many master-portraits. He shines as McMurphy. Fletcher is his match in acting in this movie. She is cold, the true evil, McMurphy's nemesis and the enemy of anybody's life. She is a demon. Christopher Lloyd in his best role ever (the nutty professor in BACK TO THE FUTURE is close), Danny DeVito in his absolute nr.1-appearence. His role in ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST is simply so emotional that you laugh/cry every time he's in a scene. If you look at Scatman Crothers' here and look at him in THE SHINING. It is amazing how alike the characters are to each other.
A movie that should be shown in school (at least) once a year, to get a look on life. 10/10
