Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (6 May 2019)

One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest is my all-time favorite film. This movie excels on so many levels: acting, cinematography, storyline, directing, music, and intelligence. Added together, this is one of the most amazing movies to ever hit the big screen.
Jack Nicholson is amazing as McMurphy, who's "crazy to be in a loony bin like this." That loony bin is where the story is told; it is one of isolation, of human fears, of human mind, and of human triumph. Nicholson has had many great performances, such as Chinatown and The Shining, but this is the movie that made his mark. He is very convincing as a maybe-crazy, maybe-sane man.
