This weekend I watched an incredible movie called The One Who Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. It has Jack Nicholson in it, and it's about his character who goes to an insane asylum pretending to be crazy to get out of going to jail.
This movie has some really funny parts, like when he's trying to teach a supposedly deaf dumb person how to play basketball, or when he takes all the people in his ward out on a fishing trip without permission.
But when it gets really sad and intense towards the end. This movie took me on a roller coaster of emotions. It's a three hour long movie, and during those three hours you really get attached to the characters. You realize why they're all there, you realize their experiences and what brought them to that place, and the way it was made was just beautiful.
It was really interesting how the nurse was antagonized. Most of the time it's the crazy people who are always made the bad guys in this movie, or the criminals, like Mac. But the nurse was seen as the bad guy who was trying to oppress them and try to "help" them by doing unspeakable forms of treatment.
It was a beautiful movie, and I absolutely adored it. The shots taken were simple, but affective. The music choice was very smart, because most of the time the music was playing on loud speakers for the patients. I loved everything about this movie, and it really showed how Jack Nicholson has a knack for playing crazy characters. I would definitely, 100% recommend this movie. It's worth sitting there for three hours to watch it, and that's coming from someone who's hyperactive and has to move. It kept me entertained the entire time, so I feel like it would keep you entertained as well.
