book of the same name, the � lm can be di� cult to follow at � rst due to its character’s heavy use of Burgess’ own cre-

ated language for the novel of futuristic Cockney and Rus-sian slang. I would not recom-mend this movie to everyone, but, if you like what you hear, you’ll de� nitely want to check out one of the most divisive and craziest � lms in history.

One Flew Over theCuckoo’s Nest - 1975One of the three � lms to

ever sweep all � ve major Academy Awards at the Oscars (Best Picture, Director, Actor, Actress, and Screenplay) and based upon Ken Kesey’s acclaimed novel of the same name, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest stars Jack Nich-

olson as a low level crook sent to a state mental hospital. His strong personality and questioning of authority sparks an ongoing feud with the cold-hearted head nurse Mildred Ratched (Louise Fletcher) trying to keep the patients un-der her care in control. McMurphy sees her dominating treatment of his fellow patients as a way to keep them un-der her thumb in fear rather than an actual a� empt to help them get be� er and begins to rebel against the system. His increasingly disruptive behavior is met with even harsher treatment by Nurse Ratched and a war of wills between the two threatens the stability of the hospital. Christopher Lloyd, Brad Dourif, and Danny Devito star as fellow pa-tients in early roles in their careers. A great � lm � lled with wonderful performances all around.
