I started to watch this movie last night with my dad but we kept switching between it and "Batman Begins". This is a great example of the fact that I found "One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest" to be pretty boring. I had started to read the book I got halfway through it and had to put it down I was so bored. The movie was much better then the book and it was interesting to see how they portrayed the characters. All of the actors and actresses who played the characters did a fantastic job. Nurse Ratched was really good and Jack Nicholson is amazing at playing a pretend crazy person. I felt like this movie was more a movie that you would watch in an English class so maybe if I was in that setting I would have liked it better. Lying on my couch after a big delicious meal from Cheesecake Factory in my sweatpants with a remote control at my disposal it wasn't my ideal choice. This is why I believe that watching a movie and how you interpret it is based a lot on your experience watching it. If you are with a lot of friends and your chatting then you probably won't like it as much because you can't pay attention. If you are not comfortable then you will only be focused on the fact that you are uncomfortable. If you are overly comfortable then you can fall asleep and miss half of the movie. I did cry a little when Chief finally talked to MacMurphy and their friendship started. It was really kind of sweet that he strangled Mac before leaving because he did not want to leave him behind. All of the movies I have watched that involve a mental hospital really make me mad of how the orderlies and nurses treat the patients. I guess it's mostly in the olden days but electro-shock therapy is a crock and severely in humane, but I guess they didn't care. All in all, this was a pretty good movie but not one of my favorites on the list.
