“You ain’t no crazier than the average asshole out walkin’ around on the streets and that’s it” Dr. Szasz wrote a great book if ur interest.
This movie has everything great story abuse of power dark side of the asylums shows even the insane are still human and jack is outstanding
Proof that the real madness is thinking you can win against bureaucracy with vibes and a smirk. McMurphy died for our sins.
A fantastic portrayal of a mental asylum and its patients. Murphy’s rebellion against the mental institute.
Wow, just wow. Amazing movie with Jack N. playing an impressive role! So many twists and turns, and really hard hitting rollercoaster!
Not as good as the die hard fans would say, but it did paint a descriptive picture on the working class, mental health, and abusive care.
It’s as beautiful as it is humorous and fun
A great character study of a damaged man, with lots of heart wrenching performances from the supporting cast as well
A very interesting look into the human psyche. This movie makes you question what it means to be insane. Who are the actual crazy ones?
Almost perfect and a showcase of some great talents. Look for a young Danny Devito
