Art of the Cinema: One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

I’ve always had a huge problem with books that are turned into movie but One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest does not fit into the category that I hate. This movie was brilliant and I like how even though it wasn’t based off the entire book, it was still an excellent movie.

Jack Nicholson, one of my favorites, did an outstanding job. He always takes on these roles that seem too natural for him to pull through. It’s like he’s not even trying, and we talked about how that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a good thing, but I don’t think it’s a bad thing. This might sound terrible, but I don’t think the rest of the actors had to put in as much effort as him. Because he is so good at what he does, it doesn’t seem to have a huge effect on the fact that this movie is only from part of the book.
