Review for History of Cinema

Rating: 9/10 (13 May 2011)

i highly enjoyed watching this movie. Jack Nicholson played his character superbly. \
I am still uncertain if i think R.P. McMurphy was actually crazy or not. I kind of think he really was faking it the whole time because life was easier in a mental hospital and so was a chance at escape, which he tried a few times.
I think the point of the movie is to show that mental patients are not totally incompetent and do not need to be forced into a strict routine. You see in the movie that with a little change in routine, a little excitement, even the patients that are most out of it become more alive and personable. still, it is also shown that too much freedom turns to chaos.
This was a great movie with great acting and a powerful message.
