I got the chance to veiw this movie earlier this week, And I must say, I loved it. Jack nicholson definatley deserved Best Actor for this movie, and It definatley deserved to win Best picture of 1975. It starts off with Jack nicholsons character "R. P. Mcmurphy" Coming to a mental institute. He isn't really crazy, he is acting crazy to get out of spending time in jail, and with lower security in the mental institute, he has a much better chance of escaping. I'd tell you more but I dont want to ruin this wonderful movie. The movie also gives birth to the actor Christopher Lloyd, who you may also know as "Dr. Brown" in "Back to the future" (another good flick). Louise Fletcher Played a hard-ass nurse working in the institute, she is constantly on R.P's back, trying to decide on whether or not he is really a loon or not. She believes so, but the others think differently. Every actor who played a crazy did perfect, exactly how I think a person whould act in an institute. I could make a paragraph on each actor to be honest, But I will spare you the time, and let you watch the movie and Decide for yourself, I doubt very seriously you will be dissapointed. This movie comletley swept 5 oscars in 1976, and it very much deserved to. All in all this is the directors (Milos Forman) best film, He is currently making 2 movies that are to open up next year. I very much look forward to those. My review: ***** of 5.
Good review, great movie. Review could be a bit more in depth, and the title is One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest.
