Reviews and Comments
Jack Nicholson classic.One of my all time favorite movies...perfect blend of humor, drama, pathos, morality tale and underdog struggle.
One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest (film)One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest (film) *****
The film adaptation of 'One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest' the great American Novel by Ken Kasey is almost as perfect as the book. Jock Nicholson plays the lead role of McMurphy, the work camp sentenced felon who claims insanity to escape is fate. Little Does he know he is biting off more then he can chew as he soon becomes aquainted with his own personal hell, Nurse Ratchet played by Louise Fletcher.
The movie does not follow the book completly but does so enough not to lose any impact of any scene or plot line. A few minor changes here and there set the directors' view apart.
While not as suspenceful as the book and not as detailed the movie still does a fine job of bringing one of the most important books in history to mainstream culture. Nicholson's performance is breathtaking and the movie as a whole is flawless. A personal favorite.
