This is a famous book. In the book the story is told by Chief, who is a silent observer of events (except in his communications with Mac). The book makes it clear that Chief doesn’t really know why hes in there and its questionable whether he should be.

45:38 "No I'm not [ashamed]" -- He didn't even stammer or look away. It kills me that he has this one moment of wellness, and then completely regresses.

The movie was directed by Czech-origined Miloš Forman. He basically metaphorized communist totality in this movie, and he personfied it by Nurse Ratched. The last scene is a metaphor for breaking through the Iron curtain and setting yourself free. He experienced the real cuckoo's nest in communist Czechoslovakia, so he knew what the story was about.

Poor Billy, he's found passion once again in his life. He loves the girl. But he is not good at expressing himself. Nurse Ratched made him feel guilty.

This poor beautiful creature always cries during the same moments the films affect me. What a sensitive and kind soul 💝

You’ve entered the big leagues now, ladies! One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest is simply one of the all time greatest movies, period. I’ve only ever seen it once and that left a lasting impression on me. Simply powerful story and acting from the entire cast & boy what a cast: Jack Nicholson (McMurphy) & Louise Fletcher (Miss Ratched) both won Oscars for their performances here but even the supporting cast were brilliant too. Some familiar faces started here too: Danny De Vito (Martini), Christopher Lloyd (Taber), Brad Dourif (Billy) all got their major breaks from this movie & have become superstars in their own right. Definitely need to get Michelle and Viki to watch this; they’ll definitely love it & cry about it (at least Viki will lol).

One of the movies which is perfect. Amazing Cast, Script, music, Just everything.

One of the most infamous film villains of all time: Nurse Mildred Ratched, a cold-hearted, cruel tyrant who cared more about maintaining ORDER than about helping anyone. She was a master of passive-aggressive bullying. When given the opportunity to get McMurphy out of her ward, she chose to keep him there, just because he was a threat to her power and control. She would never admit to being unable to control anyone. Even the actress who played her, Louise Fletcher, couldn't bear to watch the film, as her character was so horrible. Winner of 5 Academy Awards: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Actor (Jack Nicholson), Best Actress (Louise Fletcher)

Electroshock therapy used to be a very common treatment for severe mental illnesses including very severe depression and bipolar. They also used to use some pretty heavy drugs. Scary stuff, but the shocks actually did help people. How they possibly could have discovered this? "Nothing else has worked so we're gonna put 25,000 volts through ya. Don't worry though. It's not the volts that get ya. It's the amps."

I think you Homies would all do well in reacting to our 1970's, 1980's, and 90's music / songs. Idk if you are stuck only on RAP, ( like so many young people are), today. That is soo lame and one sided. I hope you have opened your minds to the world of real music with real voices, not autotune. And real musical instruments with the raw talent required by individuals to provide it. The songwriting also. Our generation did not depend on digitalized computer generated music and lyrics, or other professionals to provide songs ready made for them.. We relied upon real talent in our singers and entertainers back then. Not just anyone can produce killer music and/or really good films. Today Hollyweird cranks out mostly garbage. The stuff we read and saw in our comic books for back then sold 10 and 15 cents. That is about all the movies containing material for 8 and 10 year olds pass for movie material and screenplays today. They, also, are worth about the same price, as far as I'm concerned. No matter how much CGI they throw at it. .

What was done to McMurphy at first was electrical shock treatment, then before the end of the film when Chief found out what they did to him by looking at his condition in bed Chief notices they did lobotomy which is a procedure of surgically removing some pieces of the brain to basically turn McMurphy into a zombie so to speak, taking away his true personality. These type of treatments are no longer practiced, but I did see a documentary some years ago that the patients with mental issues can make requests to have lobotomy done to them if they feel a need to be it done. Also State Mental Hospitals were shut down during the 80's when Ronald Reagan was President under the pressure of the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union). That is one of the reasons we have so many homeless individuals that have serious mental issues here in America that live out on the streets and cause many problems to the communities in the cities. And for them to receive any kind of help is very difficult. By the way ladies, good reaction on the 1975 film 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.

(if you wanna see something scarier read about the creep jerk who started doing ice pick lobotomies in a day, you drop off patient and get lunch and then come back and boom they are out of it etc, horrible...) These mental hospitals would do lobotomies but when necessary and or when they felt necessary. Billy's character's mom had him committed and Ratched and her were friends; Ratched would hold over him about how his mother would feel and it would scare billy and made him do what he did sadly. (the guy who plays billy is famous , he was grimma worm tongue in LOTR , he was in alien 4, he was in xfiles etc) They did a front lobal lobotomy (i think that's what its called) makes him basically a vegetable.
