One flew over the cuckoo's nest

Year of release : 1975

 

Run time : 2h13min

 

Genre : Psychological Drama

 

Cast : Jack Nicholson, Danny DeVito

 

 

The movie is adapted from the novel by Ken Kesey of the same name,published in 1962.

 

The leading character played by Jack Nicholson gets into the mental institution for statutory rape,after not wanting to do any work in jail. He is sent to the asylum for an evaluation. The nurses play loud music in the recreational room.

The shocker comes when he finds out most of the guys there are there voluntarily,not committed by someone. They can leave anytime they wish but choose to stay,although they complain about the conditions.

 

I personally didn't like the movie,I counted the hours until it was over. To me it was a dumb movie,nothing interesting ever happens. If you want to watch a good movie like this,watch Girl,interrupted(1999) with Angelina Jolie.
