zakthomasnz This film had some truly extravagant set pieces, convincing acting and was perfectly shot. At first one moves towards Jack Nicholson as the star, but the realism and brilliance truly comes from the patients (Christopher Lloyd, Danny Devito etc.) and of course Nurse Ratchet. Through genuine shock and powerful directing and acting this film is ideal for any budding moviegoer.

felchjasmine "One Who Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" directed by Milos Forman should be rated a 4 out of 5 because mostly follows the book, has very good screenplay from the actors, and the plot is almost seamless. The first criteria is the connection of the book to the movie. There were a few parts taken out, but it did not take away from the movie. The most important events from the book were portrayed in the movie; an example would be when Chief and McMurphy were sent to disturbed. The second criteria is the great screenplay of the actors. I think that Jack Nicholson and Danny DeVito did a great job playing the characters as Randle McMurphy and Martini. The actors portrayed the reason why they were in the ward very well. The last criteria was the plot. The plot of the movie was for the most part very easy to understand, and it was entertaining. I had a hard time understanding the fishing scene, and there were a few characters missing from the trip in the movie that were originally present in the book. Overall, the movie had fantastic screenplay, a flowing plot, and the movie closely follows the book; this is why I decided to rate the book a 4 out of 5 stars.

masoncassidy-98785 "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" (1975), based on the novel by Ken Kesey and directed by Milos Forman earns a 8 out of 10 star rating by me, one reason being how closely the movie relates to the novel. If were to not have read the novel before watching the movie, I would have gave this movie a 10 out of 10 star rating. I feel that the movie left out important scenes that were made very important in the novel. Another reason why I would give this movie a 8 out of 10 star rating is how the characters compare in the novel and the movie. Each character seemed to be different in the movie than they were in the novel. Although I am giving thi movie a 8 out of 10 star rating, I would recommend watching this movie, preferably without reading the novel prior to the movie.

santoscarlos-10778 After watching the movie "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest"; by Milos Forman; 1995 I give the movie a 50 out of 100 percent. The movie does not follow the the novel. If you read the book and watch the movie, you will notice that many parts are skip or switched around. Not only did the movie not follow the book, but some of the characters are bad actors. The reason why I think that the characters are bad actors is because the nurse, Mrs. Ratched, barley smiled, and she doesn't show a lot of expression throughout the movie, but chief and McMurphy played their role professionally. Even though the book did not follow the book, one thing I did enjoy is the music. The music is relaxing, and it relates to the movie. I rated the movie 50 out of 100 percent because I do not like how the movie, but I enjoyed the music. I do recommend that you watch the movie.
