A Gem

Rating: 10/10 (22 July 2007)

This is in my top 3 movies of all time. Everything about this story is great. The acting is phenomenal, and the story of perseverance and repression is beautiful. The way the film is directed is unique, and creates a bleak ambiance. Bo Goldman wrote a phenomenal script, even if Bromden isn't narrator. The fishing scene was always my fathers favorite, because as they break farther away from the institution the more they begin to grow and heal. Nurse Ratched is the restrainer, bridling nurse, Mac's opposite. The ending scene is the culmination of McMurphy himself, and is one of the best scenes of all time. The movie is wonderful. A Must see.
