关于此电影

Nominated for nine Academy Awards and winner of five, including the top categories of Best Picture, Director, Actor, Actress and Best Adapted Screenplay. Randle Patrick McMurphy (multi-Oscar winner Jack Nicholson -- "Something's Gotta Give," "As Good As It Gets") is a free-spirited, small-time convict who fakes being crazy so he can get transferred from the state penitentiary to what he thinks will be a more comfortable state mental hospital. But his contagious sense of delightful chaos clashes with the numbing routine of the hospital and the woman in charge of making sure nothing disrupts the sedate mood of the floor, Nurse Ratched (Oscar-winner Louise Fletcher -- "Cruel Intentions," "2 Days in the Valley"). Based on Ken Kesey's acclaimed bestseller. The superb cast also includes Emmy-winner Danny DeVito ("Big Fish," "L.A. Confidential"), Emmy-winner Christopher Lloyd (the "Back to the Future" trilogy, "Who Framed Roger Rabbit") and Brad Dourif (the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, "Murder in the First").

I could only give 4 stars for 2 reasons. 1. It was recommended to me by my New England Yankee friend 'Stet', who was born & raised an hour away from the mental hospital where the movie was filmed. 2. I only got to see part of the movie before my connection was knocked out by a storm. But I saw enough to know that given the chance, I would love to see the rest of it.

Great movie, but they left out most of Chief Bromden's backstory from the book (he also wasn't the narrator). In the book, Max Taber was not important at all and was only mentioned. Ruckly was not in the movie (a minor character, but they still had Colonel Matterson in there). They adapted the ending and also the boat scene and party at the ward perfectly. Jack Nicholson was good as McMurphy.

Great movie, but should have had a different title, so as not to be confused with the book, which was very different. For example, the book portrayed mental patients as real people that were just different, and it was society that shamed them into voluntarily commiting themselvrs to the hospital for just being themselves. The movie portrayed them as total childish freaks and jerks. But maybe that's part of the appeal of the movie.
