Review of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975) by Bharat V — 15 Feb 2012
Thoroughly entertaining, amazing performances, a masterfully written script, an outstanding film. Just wow. I'm reading the novel for my English class, but it is nowhere nearly as good as this masterfully written screenplay.
Jack Nicholson takes these mental patients out of the hell they were in for so long and lets them live a little by taking them fishing. But that's only one example. The simplicity in his actions are what make these scenes work so well.
It's almost like he effortlessly takes control of the mental hospital and it is too much fun to watch. Louise Fletcher plays the most hate-able antagonist in the history of film. A perfect film with a tearful but incredible ending.
