This is one of the best films that I have seen. This really goes without saying but Jack is incredible. His talent is just ridiculous. This is the kind of movie that just pulls you in. I really had no idea what I was in for when I sat down to watch this. It really surprised me in so many way. I figured Nicholson was going to play one of his psychotic characters that ransacks life. However, his character McMurphy really had purpose and was very inspiring--not many people can uplift an entire floor of mental patients. The "evil" nurse did not turn out to be as evil as I thought she would be. I mean, sure, she was a bit of an obnoxious biotch, and she did do some messed up things. But on the same token, McMurphy DID cause a fight to break out in her "therapy sessions" and, well, he DID try to strangle her to death. I guess you can't completely fault her for being a little pissed.
But this movie was definitely a well acted and well-scripted drama. I couldn't have asked for anything better.
