TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film
Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!
Crwthod A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.
Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
kilfoylepaul There are primarily three things I used to critique this film : characters/actors, pacing, emotional impact, that I feel make it a good film. I feel that these three criteria help make this a good film. You can't have a good movie without good actors, pacing, and emotional impact. In the movie I feel that Jack nicholson, the one who plays mcmurphy in the film did an amazing job portraying who mcmurphy is. One of my biggest problems with the film was the pacing. I feel there was no good sense of time in the film. I didn't feel like they were there for very long. The emotional impact of the film was amazing. I really felt for the characters All in all I feel it was a good movie. It wasn't the best movie i've ever seen, but I would recommend this film to all viewers
balsdonwilliam 6.8/10 "One Flew Over A Cuckoo's Nest" is a serious, but sometimes humours movie based on the book, though you can tell several differences that I did and didn't like. The first part that I didn't like is the pacing. At first the pacing seems pretty normal, but during the end, which I won't spoil, has an extremely fast pace. My second issue is how the movie sometimes goes way off the book. In the book there are certain events like Cheswicks's death, or that Chief went fishing with them that happened in the book didn't happen in the movie. For my third thing, I did like the actors that were in it. In the movie Jack Nicholson really brought the movie to life, and brought some of the parts in the movie rememberal. In the ending, while the movie had its flaws, it was a humorous movie that you will remember for a long time.
unsethlarissa "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" (OFOCN) was released in 1975; it is based on the novel by Ken Kesey and is directed by Milos Forman. The movie centers around R.P McMurphy (Jack Nicholson). In an attempt to escape from the work yards in the penitentiary, McMurphy fakes a mental illness, leading to him being admitted into a mental hospital. There, he befriends many of the other patients in the ward and attempts to break them out of the strict and monotonous routine set by Head Nurse Ratched (Louise Fletcher). In the book, Chief played the main role, however; in the movie, McMurphy is the main character. Like this instance, many other important events in the book were not displayed in the movie. The movie itself was good, and if I hadn't read the book, I would've gave it a better rating. All in all, I would rate "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" a 4 out of 10.
santoscarlos-10778 After watching the movie "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest"; by Milos Forman; 1995 I give the movie a 50 out of 100 percent. The movie does not follow the the novel. If you read the book and watch the movie, you will notice that many parts are skip or switched around. Not only did the movie not follow the book, but some of the characters are bad actors. The reason why I think that the characters are bad actors is because the nurse, Mrs. Ratched, barley smiled, and she doesn't show a lot of expression throughout the movie, but chief and McMurphy played their role professionally. Even though the book did not follow the book, one thing I did enjoy is the music. The music is relaxing, and it relates to the movie. I rated the movie 50 out of 100 percent because I do not like how the movie, but I enjoyed the music. I do recommend that you watch the movie.
