Has been voted as one of the best movies ever and is worth it

Rating: 9/10 (1 April 2007)

My comments summarised in one word: Amazing. It is not only Jack Nicholson's acting, but it is also the storyline and its absolutely brilliant ending. How often have you watch a movie that made you look into wikipedia or search the internet to find more information about the facts/ practices depicted on the movie? Rarely. Be certain that this will be one of them!
It is the acting of all of the cast, the screenplay and the very realistic representation of the life inside a mental asylum that gets you absorbed into the movie. You can see how some people hold a place of responsibility (nurse Mildred Ratched) while they clearly shouldn't be there. Does this happen in real life? Certainly it does. Does the picturing of the asylum represent real world situations? Yet it does. Does the acting of the mentally ill cast, although sometimes it might be seen as bold, add to its reality? Certainly. Do you get to share the leading actor's worries, dreams and hopes? Do you share his actions? It is one of the rare cases that you do.
In conclusion "One flew over the cuckoo's nest", is a title that anyone who calls himself a cinephile should certainly watch. If I were to make a category of best movies of all times, I would rate it just above Alfred Hitchcok's "Psycho".
