One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest


A good movie but I don't know that it is one of the all time greats. It won the big 'five' in terms of Oscars: Actor, Actress, Screenplay, Director, and Film, but I felt at times it was a bit unfocused and could have used a bit of tighter editing. Jack Nicholson is great but it's the same role he plays in all his movies--I prefered him in Chinatown better. I did finally get the relevance of the poem and the movie: One flew east, one flew west, and one flew over the cuckoo's nest wherein the two character who died, Billy and McMurphy, are the ones that flew east and west, and Chief is the one who flew over the nest.
