Disappointing compared to the book

Rating: 2/10 (23 May 2018)

"One Who Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest" (1975), based on the novel by Ken Kesey and directed by Milos Forman earns a 2 out of 5 stars based on the plot, pacing, and characters.
After reading the book, I decided to watch the movie, to see how it was translated on the big screen. Unfortunately, the movie throws around the plot of the book. People die in the middle of the book, and by the end of the movie, they are still alive. The deaths were a huge part of the novel! Not only that, but the fishing trip didn't go how it went in the book either which was a huge disappointment. Along with the plot not being followed, the pacing of the movie mad every scene feel so rushed. I didn't have time to transition from one thing to another. The pacing almost made me lost because I was trying to catch up. Lastly, The characters were a slight disappointment. In the book McMurphy was loved by the other patients, but in the movie it seemed like he was a jerk and people couldn't wait to get rid of him. I also pictured McMurphy to be much bigger because the movie described him that way. Jack Nicholson is not a big guy. Overall, I was disappointed. Because of the plot, pacing, and characters I believe "One who Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest" is worth 2 out of 5 stars.
