Now that the festival season is over, and before the ‘gotta see theatricals that might be nominated for the Oscars’ season begins, we thought it might be a good time to knock a few off the List of Shame. In this case, not mine, but rather my wife’s. One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s nest is a film I am very well acquainted with. I’ve seen it dozens of times, but all back when it hit Hotel PPV back in 1976. In my old playback op job, I’d watch it pretty much every shift. It was just that good.
The story arc is simple, it’s the characters that make this film a classic masterpiece. With the prowess and skill of Sydney…
Exploring the theme of freedom against the confines of society, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is the story of misfits challenging the morality of established order. With its universal appeal that has transcended time & space and simple, poetic storytelling amidst all the madness, this film is nowadays widely regarded as one of world cinema's most respected & greatest, and deservingly so.
Jack Nicholson stars as Randal McMurphy & if there ever has been a character that Nicholson was born to play, it's none other than this one. No one else could've pulled off Randal as effortlessly as Nicholson did & he was truly at his best here. Louise Fletcher highly impresses as Nurse Ratched, a character that is completely opposite of what…
This film was filled with a brilliant cast that performed sensationally, with Jack Nicholson as the lead role delivering sheer perfection to each and every scene creating the atmosphere for the viewer. A phenomenal performance by Nicholson, supported by a terrific ensemble of actors. Milos Foreman created a genuine masterpiece. The correlation and relationship with the characters along with the breathtaking ambiance makes you feel you are experiencing the dealings and events that transpire amongst the institute, your compassion for McMurphy is beautifully juxtaposing to your hatred for Nurse Ratched.
For me to be totally transfixed for every moment shows the meticulous detail that went into each scene. Albeit, some scenes that were almost a fraction disturbing, it was all a part of the monumental experience. The movie quintessentially depicts the extraordinary and almost abnormal occurrences inside an insane institution at that time.
Another film to add to the list of: I'm not crying, it's just raining on my face. My love for Chief knows no bounds.
'Is that crazy enough for ya'? Want me to take a shit on the floor?'
Once the credits of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest were rolling, I was just totally speechless. Seldom has a movie sent me on an emotional rollercoaster like this one did. On the one hand, there were so many humorous moments, and on the other hand, this movie was able to affect me in a highly emotional way. This movie combined all of the things a masterpiece needs. A simple, but attractive, story, some loveable characters, lots of great performances and a very profound message.
The story of those guys, that are confined to an asylum and suppressed by their nurses, is less a story…
فيلم حلو و حلو جدا كمان
علاقة الشخصيات ببعضها جميلة جدا و اتطورت بشكل حلو
الشخصيات ذات نفسها حلوة من الممرضة للعيانين للشخصية الرئيسية
بس فكرة انه كان ممكن يهرب فاكثر من فرصة و منقولش بيفشل بالاصح مبيتوفقش فده بطريقة غبية الصراحة خلى تقييم الفيلم ينزل بالنسبالي
بردو خط النهاية كان ممكن يتفذ بشكل احسن من كده
الفيلم جيد بس مش عظيم
Even though I understand what the director is trying to say about the meaning of freedom,the execution is just messy. Very slow burn with very few interesting things to keep me watching.
The movie has an admittedly powerful ending,but honestly I think the movie has more metaphorical value than its actually value.
Isn't really my type of film :/
8/10
“All I know is this: nobody's very big in the first place, and it looks to me like everybody spends their whole life tearing everybody else down.”
So much charm, bursting with truth and wisdom.
What can one say about this masterpiece that hasn't already been said? Winner of five Academy Awards, director Milos Foreman's ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST is without question one of the greatest movies ever made and I think it also contains some of the greatest assembled acting that you're ever going to witness.
Randle McMurphy (Jack Nicholson) is put into a hospital where he's going to be evaluated and right from the start this rebel butts heads with the main nurse (Louise Fletcher). That's pretty much all you need to know about the story because the great characters and the remarkable story just captures you and doesn't let you go until the end credits.
There's a lot of credit…
One of the best films to ever win Best Picture. Even though I still would've picked Dog Day Afternoon. Jack Nicholson and Louise Fletcher are incredible too.
