Not exactly what I imagined

Rating: 8/10 (6 July 2014)

About a year ago I finally decided to read the book. I was very excited. And for a reason - Ken Kessey is a great author and the book is simply brilliant! I was so in love with it, I decided to watch the movie, too, despite the fact that most of the movies made after books are... well, they're not that good. So, the moment came. I pressed "play" and... well, no. Jack Nicholson acted exactly like McMurphy would've but there were many scenes from the book which were missing in the movie. I have no idea why Milo Forman decided to cut them off but it was a kind of mistake. He could've replaced some of the other not-so-important scenes with the important ones. But besides all I said, it's a great movie which is a part of the cinema history. A pretty part of it.
