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…
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.
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 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 and 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, for the actor was truly at his best here. Louise Fletcher also impresses as Nurse Ratched, a character that is completely opposite…
So I decided to watch this after the trailer for the new series Ratched aired. It’s basically serving as a prequel to Nurse Ratched story before this. I honestly thought I was going to give this 5 stars, so I was very shocked after watching that my expectations were not met.
Firstly, I want to ask, did I miss something ? Everyone says that Nurse Ratched is known as one of the most notorious villains in cinema or most hated character etc and I didn’t feel that at all. With all that I’ve heard I was expecting her character to be the epitome of hatred and venom. Instead whenever she was on screen her performance was rather quiet imo. Not…
jack nicholson trying to break out of the asylum simply to go to a bar to watch the world series is so relatable this far into 2020
For me to say that a film discusses humanity, I mean that it showcases the way in which "outsiders" are treated, teaching the audience a lesson on how those who are "different" don't need to feel that way.
Jack Nicholson and Louise Fletcher became Murphy and Nurse Ratched. And even though there was no makeup on them, it was literally impossible to just see those actors as they disappeared into those characters impeccably.
