Review of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975) by Angel G — 16 Jun 2012

One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest is a masterpiece classic. The war between Jack Nicholson and Louise Fletcher is funny and a times very intense and their performances were never than perfect. The cast of this film would be the best cast to put in a mental institution movie.

And the place with Louise Fletcher was always boring, depressing and scary, but when Jack Nicholson is on-screen, he was the one who really gave therapy to the people in the movie, so they could feel free, happy and enjoy a little on life, sense they've been in that place taking medicines and doing nothing.

It also talks about how cruel and painful the mental institutions were, and still are. But Jack Nicholson really sells it as his character, people can tell he is having a lot of fun, he was just fantastic in this movie, there is no character better than his in "One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest".

And Louise Fletcher, you have to understand how evil she is, her voice, her way of manipulating patients to make them feel ashamed, she showed no emotion, but you can feel the anger when Jack Nicholson keeps trying to piss her off.

The ending may seem sad, but it is truly heroic, you must pay real attention to this movie to understand. It is truly my favorite movie of all time, and the character of Jack Nicholson is truly memorable.
