1975 movie. Starring the big actor,Jack Nicholson. A classic, smart and smashing drama thriller movie. Tells about the man (Nicholson) who sent into mental institution,based on the title we can say "cuckoo nest" is this institution.

Actually he isn't a crazy man, he is just the trouble maker who sent by his boss to get mental care because his behaviour. In this institution he find a new relation with human being although most of all are crazy and dumb people.

Randle (Nicholson) bring a new hope, new paradigm and happiness to all his friends in that institution. Tell to them to life as a free man and do everything as our own. This is one the best movie i've ever watched.

Both amazing and honest movie you should watch.The ending is blur and not clear for a lot of people. My writing below contain spoiler and the explanation of this ending based on my opinion. In case you didn't get the idea of ending you can read it.

Best explanation of the ending is on Chief (big Indian) story about his father,a man who once had respect, honor, and courage but ended up a shell of what he once was. The people around him kept taking and taking until he died.

Chief didn't want to see his friend Mcmurphy end up like that. By killing Mcmurphy he was performing the supreme act of kindness by ending his life while he could still be remembered by everyone else as strong and vital (big as a mountain).

This ending is the honest and clever final of one movie ever gived I though.
