Great, classic film making...

Rating: 9/10 (5 July 1999)

One Flew Over is an amazing book/movie combo in that both pieces interact somewhat, but stand on their own well. The book is amazing and well worth the read. The movie is different enough in point of view and events to make it stand on its own.
Nicholson is, as almost always, incredible in the McMurphy character. It's amazing that you can laugh at something in one scene ("Little dab'll do ya, huh?") and then see the results of this same character in the final scenes. The character of Chief is perfectly portrayed, and in fact every patient comes through with his or her character intact.
It's also great to watch! Truly a classic. 5.0/5.0 stars.
