One Flew over the Cuckoo 's Nest is an earnest attempt to make a serious film. But in the end the movie backs away from both the human reality and the cloudy but potent symbolism that Ken Kesey found in the asylum.
If the movie was supposed to be in an insane asylum, I would guess that whatever goes on there really goes on, that is what Ken Kesey experienced. He put it in a story-style and make it into a book...the book was made in a movie. It was based on what goes on when one goes "completely crazy" they have removed part of the brain in real asylums! Sure it is barbaric, but this is just part of the emotional conflict in the story! And if you can't accept that, you can't accept the brutal reality we call life!
Hold on a second. So you give Taxi Driver its first rotten review and now i find out you didn't like this film. Maybe you just dislike this film (and Taxi Driver) because its so well praised because you gave a bad review to two of the greatest films of all time.
I must say: I'm shocked. Really... I'm 13 (I watched this when I was 12) and I think 'Cuckoo's Nest' is wonderful. I can't believe that anyone could not be moved by the ending, let alone a (supposedly) reputable critic such as yourself. The tension between Nicholson and Fletcher, McMurphy and Ratchet, is fabulously acted out, and the strange and ultimately heart-breaking love between the patients very well done. I'm sorry, but I think your review is about as far off as it possibly could be, and I won't trust your judgement of films in the future.
Wow you also gave taxi driver a bad review. It seems you hate movie that are called some of the greatest of all time. Is this you trying to be different? **** yourself.
