I am confused...

Rating: Null/10 (8 November 2004)

I just watched this for the 1st time and I thought it was horrible. I am usually rather open minded but this movie was depressing, confusing and, I think, I just plain didn't get it. Nurse Ratched was completely evil, they gave McMurphy a lobotomy and then the chief killed him--I so badly wanted McMurphy to rise above and get out or something--something other than being mentally neutered then killed. The acting admittedly was good (I mean, come on, it's Jack) but I really don't know what all the fuss is over this movie--and it won 5 Academy Awards?? Was this the only movie up for best picture?? I know, the horrors of not loving this most revered film. Perhaps, perhaps I am missing something but holy cow this movie was crap.
