Nicholson's finest performance.

Rating: Null/10 (7 June 2003)

Every time I watch this film I get a new perspective on life. I learn to appreciate the small things most people take for granted: watching a ball game,playing cards, and going out on a date with a girl. These are basic pleasures of life but these characters in this story are denied these pleasures. Finally one man stands up for his rights , that man is R. P Macmurphy. Mac as his friends call him is portrayed with great gusto by Jack Nicholson, who gives a haunting portrayal as this inmate who wants out of the nut house. Milos Forman directed this film and it is master work . This is great film to watch when you think life sucks because Mac managed to make a nut house into his own private paradise. An all around brillant film
