Rating: 10/10 (26 November 2007)

In One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest Randall Patrick McMurphy, is sentenced to a short prison term for statutory rape. Believing he has found a way to cheat the system McMurphy feigns insanity in order to be transferred to a mental institution. Here, he expects to spend the rest of his sentence in relative comfort far away from the work farm he was sentenced to. Instead, McMurphy willingly signs his life away to what he has been fighting against his entire life, established authority. McMurphy's open defiance against authority, in this case head nurse Ratched, becomes a vicious self destructive cycle.McMurphy's condescending attitude towards the ward's policies attracts negative attention and only inspires nurse Ratched to "help him". This help would eventually lead to his lobotomy, thus killing his fighting spirit.
