One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975)

Really Surprised!

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

This film had some truly extravagant set pieces, convincing acting and was perfectly shot. At first one moves towards Jack Nicholson as the star, but the realism and brilliance truly comes from the patients (Christopher Lloyd, Danny Devito etc.) and of course Nurse Ratchet. Through genuine shock and powerful directing and acting this film is ideal for any budding moviegoer.

I LOVED the book. The movie, not so much. Which is really disappointing since considering it's not that difficult of a story line to portray alongside the book. Jack Nicholson and Louise Fletcher did a great job in their roles but that is pretty much it.

I would rate the movie "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" directed by Milo Forman in 1975 a 2 out of 5 stars because, although the movie has a decent plot and the actors did their job well, the movie was far different from the book. I thought that the actors did a nice job. These actors played their parts well and from the looks of it, enjoyed participating in the production on the film. but what I struggled with throughout the movie was that the actor's appearances did not match what I had visualized while reading and did not meet the books physical description of each individual character. Personally, I would not have picked the actors that they did because of they did not fit the characters personality and looks. I also felt that they movie skipped from one scene to the next with little transition. Another large problem I had with the movie is there were so many new scenes and the entire movie felt rushed as if they were trying to fit too many things in at once and I feel that it ruined the quality of the movie. I found myself getting confused on where the scene was taking part and what was going on. I feel that, if the movie was slowed down with less scenes and more details, I would have enjoyed it more. This leads me to my final criticism that I may have already made fairly clear. I read the book before watching the movie and would 10/10 recommend the book, but was very disappointed after how the movie ruined the story. There were a lot of events that did not match up, some in which did not even happen. This really look away from the meaning of the movie and the awareness it was meant to bring. Overall, I think I did not like the movie because I had read the book prior and enjoyed it very much. The movie would have been much better if it would have followed the original plot from the book, if the actors would have matched the looks and personalities of the characters, and if the movie didn't skip through every scene is such a short amount of time.

The movie "The One Who Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest", produced by Milos Forman, 1975. Deserves a 5 star rating because I did appreciate some parts of the movie, but yet again I would not buy this movie due to many parts of the movie to be weary to my liking. The movie "The One Who Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest" has a splendid soundtrack, the pacing seemed slow, and the ending has a drastic cliffhanger. The movie has a splendid soundtrack because it's relaxing to listen to, Jack Nitzsche is the producer of all the music in the movie. The pacing of the movie seems slow in the beginning which is quite annoying, but it might be due to the fact that the actors in the movie are acting to be mentally disturbed. The actor of McMurphy; Jack Nicholson, was a great choice to be set in the movie because he also was in the movie "The Shining" which definitely made the pacing of this movie faster due to his upbeat personality, and he is great with acting "crazy". The ending has a drastic cliffhanger because someone rand away from the Hospital, were they found and brought back? Did they die? Did they live there life like all the other rabbits out there? No one will know. In conclusion this movie was a great movie but I would not personally buy the movie to watch again, It was a one time thing because all of the events in the movie was enthusing but also depressing.
