- Several years ago I re-scored this scene from a film which I've always loved ever since I saw it as a child.
I just found it on my old hard drive and so I published it.
Midi programming, mixing and mastering are by Giancarlo Guarrera
Have a nice day.
Bye!
The rights of the film are owned by Warner Bros. Films - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน

Possibly the greatest psychological villain ever in a movie. Her character was an absolute control freak and played brilliantly by Louise Fletcher... R.I.P.
Never loved an actress as much and at the same time wanted her character to die on film. R.I.P. Louise Fletcher!!❤
And she was a real charming, nice woman in real life. Totally opposite of this role.
Agree.
Truly sublime by Louise Fletcher & Control freak nailed.
A very talanted and beautiful actress
He was so close to escape but let the opportunity pass to get revenge for Billy.
Even if he escaped now the police would have caught him.
The perfect opportunity was during the night before anyone knew.
Billy killed himself, there's no revenge
@@Fadem12forReal he killed himself because the nurse was going to tell his mother about him sleeping with that woman. It was her fault.
@@Fadem12forReal she drove him to suicide knowing his mental situation. It’s almost the same as murder. Like holding a gun to someone’s head and saying do you want me to pull the trigger or you? In the mental part of the film is the same as murder.
Ratched, I hate you.
"the best thing we can do is go on with our daily routine" gotta be the most infuriating line in movie history
So agree - she should have at least called for a moment of silence in memory of Billy and had them talk out their feelings. Of course you have to have a soul to be able to do that which she didn't. This was the straw that broke the camel's back for Mc Murphy which is why he started strangling her. The other patients were either in shock or fed up with her so they didn't intervene. I think the orderlies might not have cared for her either since it took a few moments before they intervened, allowing him to almost kill her.
Yes! It's a general disrespect, like "WE Always did it like that"
Have been to a psych hosp. not in the 70's. In the 20's. Well, I wasn't there when it happened but what has become a good friend of mine since our time in the hospital told me, when he was first hospitalzed, there was that girl, really underwheighted, she nedded a machine so she could breathe : her room was the one next to the nursing office : if something went wrong, if the girl rang the alarm, the nurses could be there quickly. Well, one afternoon something went wrong, my friend told me about it, however I don't believe everything he said since he was not in the room. All I can say is that when everybody realized she was not there at the 4 p.m meeting, a nurse went to see if she had maybe felt asleep (was not extraordinary 'cause of meds and the forced time we had to spend in bed, without doung anything, not even reading, after lunch). So... the nurse entered the room. The girl was cold. Mask off. Best explanation is that she struggled, tried to take off her mask for whatever reason... tried to ring the alarm but couldn't for whatever reasons (weakness, panic, difficult to access, apparently she was found tangled in machine's cables ). My friend told me she shouted but the nurses did not hear sincr there was this HUGE reunion with every nurse, docs and so on... He told me he had heard her muffled scream. Idk if I believe that, probably fakd memory due to trauma ? Is that a thing ?
All this to say that my friend told me "man... every nurse, one by one, went to the room. They whispered between them. Their pupils were trembling. All the patients knew something went wrong. After couple of minutes one of the nurse came back. She said (girl name] was found in a state of death (or some medical term like that). She told everybody to stay calm, eat the snack and go on with the routine and that they would brinf them news asap"
Once again I was not there. Idk if everything he told me was the truth. All I know is that I believe what I've just shared, and that the next patient to be in that room, next to nurse office was me.
It is not the 70's, nurses are cool (most of them) but it is cold. Fucking cold. Fucking violent despite the apparent lack of action...
Excuse my english, not native speaker.
Exactly!! How the hell we supposed to go on with our day and someone killed themselves?? One of my favorite movies 🎥 ❤❤❤

It's not the final scene, but it is the final straw.
That was Nurse Ratched's moment to show McMurphy that she had at least a SHRED of humanity deep down. She didn't have any.
A VERY brave and ethical psychiatrist risked his entire career to put an end to the barbaric practice of shock therapy and lobotomies. Many of the so-called doctors and nurses in this field of medicine were evil greedy b@stards. He deserves a medal. His name is Dr. Peter Breggin. He has written several books. He also has a website.
The last 50 years I haven’t seen better movie than “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest “!
One of the greatest films ever made !
Do you mean no film in the last 50 is better?
@@Mr.GoodkatI thought that was pretty obvious
@@Mr.Goodkat actually, nobody sees the film just the light that passes through it
@@rodneymacomber6337 Tell that to the projectionist!
@@Mr.Goodkat define the word projection and I’m correct
2:50 the hatred in Jacks eyes
That’s not hatred, that’s fury.
@@KenMasters. Exactly. He had enough of Ratched's bullshit.
He knew the consequences of his actions, which is why he wanted justice for Billy.
It rage
3:13 - and fear and dread in Ratched's eyes.
She was crazier than any of them.
She wasn't crazy, she was evil.
One of the greatest villain of the film history
She's actually ranked #5 of the AFI's 100 Heroes and Villains!
I love how the look in his face that the last person you should have pissed off is Jack Nicholson. Having Christopher Lloyd wanting her dead as well made this scene epic!! Abuse of power.
He should have fought the guard.
@@dandavis8300 He was going to until the nurse screamed. He put the keys on the window ledge, made a fist, the guard looked at his fist and then the nurse screamed.
Brad Dourif played Billy and was nominated for the 1976 Academy Award for best supporting actor. Know who won? George Burns for "The Sunshine Boys!!!! Now I'm not saying Mr. Burns performance wasn't good, but Brad's performance was MAGNIFICENT! UTTERLY convincing.
Brad was 100% robbed, what a phenomenal performance
Common buddy, you know the way Hollywood/Academy works. It's not all about best performance now is it?
@@paulherlihy9290 Absolutely right, Paul. For a start, Will Smith should have received the award for the "most recent gobshite to fall from favour in Hollywood".
Burns was part of the smallhats club.
I totally agree. Brad has always been a superb character actor.
Hard to believe that Brad Dourif who played Billy, was the voice of Chucky
So true!
And hard to believe he played Grima Wormtongue in Lord of the rings
It was his first film role
Are u kidding it sounds exactly like chucky
I can't believe it too but it's all true.
This is one of the greatest “almost” death scenes in the history of cinema. I remember as a kid I almost, if not completely got an adrenaline rush rooting for Nicholson to choke her purple lol
Nurse Ratched: "My patients sir, didn't care for the ward at first. One of them, Mr McMurphy, actually stole a hospital bus, and took all the patients on a fishing trip on a stolen boat. But I... corrrrected him, sir. And when Billy Bibbit attempted to lose his virginity, I... corrrrected him too..."
Nice cross over !
he didnt just attempt it my friends
Brad Douriff doesnt get enough respect as an actor
didn't know he got an oscar nomination for this film
Who was cheering on McMurphy when he was strangling Nurse Ratched on the floor? I know that's disturbing to say or think, but it's a movie. She was such a control freak and I've worked with the types. Even when I worked at a state mental hospital.
My mom always cheered that scene no joke
Me. I was cheering him on. Still cheering him on all these decades later.
@@jayyavid5363 In school 🏫 my sister said kids were screaming to have her killed. Can you imagine if David Greene did that to Mr Cleary in School Ties 👔
She reminds me of my EX
Me..and Christopher Lloyd.
She won the Oscar for that scene!
the WOMAN?
@@danilozivkovic7727 yes
@@danilozivkovic7727for best actress
@@captainobvious2315she earned it, very convincing performance.
I remember watching this movie in a classroom - we hated Ratched so much a few of the kids in the back were cheering. A combination of a great performance and all around great villain!
When I rented this on VHS, the last two seconds were literally the first frame I saw. Left me intrigued
excellent re-scoring! love your varied use of strings to highlight the tension of an iconic scene, all the way up to its breaking point! gives me a vibe like an old film's score, and i mean that as a compliment-- top notch!
*The greatest film ever made!!*
Most definitely
One of, but certainly a banger.
I would have just taken a dive through that open window , but then again , you get attached to people.
Another 20 seconds Nurse Ratched would have been dead
This scene and the film’s ending are bittersweet. On one hand, mcmurphy sacrificed himself to free the other patients from Ratched’s grasp. She no longer has the commanding presence she once had. But Because Mac physically attacked her, he got lobotomized. They say that lobotomy is like castration for the frontal lobe. But in a way, mcmurphy also stripped away Ratched’s voice and authority on his way out.

Patty Behan
I saw this movie in a theater back in 1976, and I vividly remember how everyone in the theater was standing up and cheering when Mac was strangling that bitch. Louis Fletcher gave a brilliant performance though.
This is why I prefer non-quiet theaters.
Damn you're old.
Orderly 'put down those keys and no on gets hurt...."
Yeah, right
I remember watching this great movie years ago!! Wish I could see it again!!💖
Honestly, Jack Nicholson and Brad Dourif really knocked it out of the park in this scene - McMurphy's shocked reaction after seeing Billy slam his fist into the ground, Billy's pleas to Nurse Ratched, and finally the look of pure rage you see in McMurphy while he was strangling Ratched for being indifferent to Billy's death.
Louise Fletcher deserves a lot of praise too, but I can't help but admire when an actor or actress really displays strong emotions that almost feel real, you know?

The best scene in cinema history.
I watched One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest at a drive-in movie theatre in South Africa in 1976. I found the movie so disturbing - and this scene is a brilliant example of why - that I've never been able to watch the movie since.
Nurse Ratched: evil incarnate.
Brilliantly portrayed by Louise Fletcher
The movie is very disturbing . Nurse Ratchet one of the most disturbing Nascisistic Sociopaths in any movie . I have seen them in my family
Damn you're old.
This is another level of cinema
Great job. :) Many thanks for the new film soundtrack. :)
"The best thing we can do is go on with our daily routines."
And for trying to strangle her to death, he got lobotomised. Poor martyr.
As much hatred as Ratched gets, the security guard who stop Macs just before he can do some real damage will always be at the top of my movie character shitlist 🤬
Nurse Rachet still scares me.
I wonder what I would do If I saw her…Probably Strangle her to Death.
Anyone in psychiatric medicine would understand that Billy had a huge issue associated with his mother and threatening him with telling her about his behavior could be a tremendous triggering event. If there were a psychiatric nurse to do something like this I would hope she would get into deep trouble. Even in the 1960’s these concepts of psychiatry would have been well understood.
@@nakedfreak1 shall I crawl into your psyche and pull out your deepest secrets you’d rather stay hidden? Come closer Clarice…🤡
Maybe wake up and be in reality for a second and see just how many people are getting tremendously hurt at the hands of psychiatry. It's made to control people not help them.
Billy babitt is so well played amazing acting performance, that pure hopeless rage is absolute top acting skill
0:33 That devil really looks at Randall as if it was his(!) fault ... Incredible monster ...
I read it more like, "You rebel? Just see my power..."
Sociopaths always blame the ones they hate instead of finding their own errors.
One of the greatest feel BAD movie of all time. And I like it.
He gets brain shock " therapy " and the chief escapes. Great movie.
Wasnt it lobotomy ?
@majas4922 yes, it was.
RIP Louise Fletcher aka Nurse Rachett
One of my all time favourite movie . Jack great actor
Great Great film. Such acting!
RIP Louise Fletcher.
That was some fine method acting strangling right there.
The most satisfying scene ever.
Best movie ever !!! Najbolji film ikad !!! 👍👍👍
Incredible
Nurse Ratchet is pure evil
Brad Dourif deserved the Oscar in this movie
This movie is GREAT. Plays with your mind like "No... No f****n way O.o" unpredictable....
A MASTERPIECE
When Brad Dourif was pleading and screaming it is almost the identical expression he made in one of the Myst Exile endings.
Did anybody else notice that his hat disappeared and reappeared when he was choking her? Lol
that may well be the most heartbreakingly intense scene - and for that matter, movie - I've ever seen.
A young Brad Dourif, getting tortured in-character by a monster who is supposed to help. This goes on even in today's standards but it winds up being a mother with their own children in some households across the world.
She was lucky Jack didn’t have an Axe or that Charles Lee Ray didn’t give his sole to a doll.
The young nurse looked like she never liked it there.
I honestly was cheering when the nurse was getting choked.
She was lobotomizing people. Mcmurphy was attempting a defensive and legal killing.
The terrible thing is, it's because of Mc Murphy that Billy dies: He got fake self-confidence throuh him, to stand up to Ms Ratchet, and Mc Murphy's escape attempt is the reason for Billy being left alone instead of supervised, Billy woudn'y have dared to oppose or be with the woman if it weren't for Randall. It's hard to get how some really don't get her psychological play but think Nurse Ratched to be normal and only doing her job.
This isn't the final scene? Chief running away is
This is the finale, before the epilogue.
@@AntonelloTosto I swear to God I remember the final scene being when Chief kills McMurphy and smashes the window and runs out? Am I crazy? I remember the drum music... Gradually fading as he runs away, then everything goes dark and the movie ends.
@@brilliant13675 that is the epilogue
@@AntonelloTosto but an epilogue comes at the end lol? I need to rewatch and see this for myself I'm so fucking confused right now lmao
@@brilliant13675 no your not crazy. That was.the true ending scene chief fleeing
It is so good to see that (w)itch unable to breathe...
I'll have to watch 'Cuckoo's Nest' again. The novel was still too fresh in my mind when I first saw it; I thought Chief Broom was the only character that fit the book's description. But on its own, I'm sure I'd find it to be a great picture. Louise Fletcher underplayed her role to perfection.
One flew east, one flew west, one flew over the coo coo nest.
While being strangled, her face strongly reminds me of people dying from being exposed to the Martian atmosphere in Total Recall.
They all should have joined in and helped him
R.I.P. nurse Rachet. Evil character. Good actress.
Mcmurphy should have waited another day or two before escaping
For a brief moment she looked like Arnold Schwarzenegger in Total Recall ... shame Jack could not hold on his grasp for just a few more seconds ...
Chucky doll is so young here.
Brad Dourif's performance as Billy was so powerful and heartbreaking.
I keep hoping he'll leave right after he realizes Billy is dead and there's no bringing him back. Same feeling I have when DeNiro goes back for revenge at the end of Heat. I hope I've at least learned that lesson that will serve me one day, even if it's from a 1975 and a 1995 movie.
2:39 "Its a lot of bologna now" bad timing Manchini lol.
Fun fact, in Louise Fletcher's last years (I believe starting in 2015) she stated she couldn't bear to watch this movie anymore because while she killed the part, she was so disgusted by her character.
I watched this as a young boy, as we studied the book for English. Never dreamt I would become a nurse.
Oh man, so funny. Love this movie.
The decent into madness I have seen nurse s like that
Idk watching this I think she was in shock and just didn't want to have a break down infront of the patients, because she didn't want to appear less powerful.
Keeping everything running like clockwork - or so she thinks - is probably her obsession, and she doesn't like anything that interferes with that,
I was 6 when this was made. Now 53. Hmm.
Geez between this and the book
Es sumamente frustrante ver lo cerca que estuvo de escapar, pero era alguien con corazón en el pecho. No podría haberse ido así,ante lo sucedido. Caray,pero qué frustrante aún así.
2:52 "HERE'S JOHNNY!"
That was from "The Shining."
@@jamesroales2684 I know, I was making a reference! LOL
You can hear chuck's voice in those screams Brad Dourif does
He choked the Shit out of Nurse Ratched
Rip nurse ratched
Sisteme başkaldırının harika anlatımı
Back when Oscars were deserved.
It may have ruined some of the tension but the music was excellent! What's it from?
I composed the music!
Wow that makes it even more impressive. Bravo!@@AntonelloTosto
Louise Fletcher earned the Oscar for this role!
The look on the nurses face to Jack Nicholson is that of Cerci Lannister. 😮
What the whole crew on DS9 wanted to really do.
McMurphy really cares about the people around him but he's a fighter
We don't need background music to tell us what to feel. Play the orignal scene as it is.
Great flick,...saw it right after its theatrical run on its tv premiere (Sunday night movies/1975?)....all those character actors went on to great careers,......"Nurse Rachett" was a great name to call somebody,....I believe the movie swept the Oscars in every category, 2nd movie to do it up to that time,.....Everybody wanted to be Chief in school and pick up a sink.....😅...!!
I feel his pain
There are lots of people in this world who don't know they're villains.
One of the best Films of Jack Nicholsen 👌
Now I know where they Mario Kassar got the idea for the Mars scene in Total Recall. 😳
BBBBBILLLY
Mc Murphy's fatal flaws are: indecision to escape when he can, presumptions, naivety/lack of fact-checking and information before action, , recklessness/ hubris/ inflated ego,
dominance/bullying , Acting without checking and controllng his thinking and feling first,
Abusing sex and women. All the actors in this film are assimilated with theis roles and play so well, one doesnät think anything but it all being real, portraying different symptoms, bents, being totally different irl.
Humanity has always been mad and none more so than those trying to cure us. ❤️✌️
Oh my God
