One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest
By Jandy • Oct 9th, 2007 • Category: Capsule Reviews •Okay, this won Oscars for Best Picture, Director, Actor, Actress, and Screenplay. Someday, someone will explain this to me. I mean, don’t get me wrong, it’s a good movie, but it isn’t that good. The other two films that have won these top five Oscars are that good (It Happened One Night and Silence of the Lambs), but this isn’t. Criminal Jack Nicholson gets put into a psychiatric hospital to see if maybe he’s crazy, and he ends up shaking the place up a bunch, especially the extremely strict by-the-book Nurse Ratched (Louise Fletcher). I enjoyed watching most of it, but I don’t really understand its reputation, that’s all.
