Category: EnglishOne Flew... has Jack Nicholson portraying a criminal who gets sent to the "institution", at the institution we're introduced to a host of inmates. They follow a particular routine everyday and everything is controlled by Louise Fletcher's Nurse Ratched. Eventually with his introduction the monotony is destroyed and soon there are minor revolts, people want to watch the World Series, they want to go out and have fun, meet women. Soon after this the situation gets serious when one of the evenings "out" the in-mates led by Jack Nicholson ultimately head towards the climax of the film.
Finally at the heart of it, One Flew... talks about the institution and how we view in-mates. While they deserve to get treated it's advised through the film that perhaps a more "human" approach is what is needed. Particularly the end of the movie raises some serious concern about how Nurse Ratched and the hospital administration are portrayed. At some point in America there was a debate about the kind of values this stood for and how it was against the then psychiatric norms of treating patients.
Do have a look at the film though, it's engaging and the characters (particularly Brad Dourif, Christopher Lloyd & of course the leads) make this film above average.
Recommendation level: 3/5 - Got this from a friend!
