Yeah, there's a number of tear jerking scene's... When Billy slit's his wrist's & where big Chief put's him out of his misery, at the end... After they perform a full frontal lobotomy on him, after he try's to strangle nurse Wratched (wretched)... For threatening to tell Billy's Mum, that he'd been with a woman...
No not in my case I was abused by people and made a fool and therapist that also stereotyped by another movie girl's interrupted based on a eating disorder. Unfortunately I'm still a victim
I'm okay I'm going get through it. I was misjudged. It happens. You can't assume a diagnosis based on a movie. LOL. And or a event of another you know say a buddy. Ok long story short. Dad always said when tell a story leave me out, but sometimes people tend to make it more I think interesting it sells. What you think. I believe I was a made into a legend. A success. Probably and a whole lot of people in the process. If they don't screw it up but if the continue to rub piss your face then your dog, but if dod wants you to be raised by him you will rise above. Thanks lots of love. Telegram telephone tell the sun wore me out. How rude. Phillipines chapter 1
The fishing scene is my all time favourite. He made them feel human again, capable of enjoying and doing things, not just patients with a disorder label.
One of the hardest movies i have ever watched. While watching it i wasn't realising how serious and deep this movie was until the final scene. I was even expecting a happy ending... Such a great acting! Deffinetely worth watching! Deserved all the awards!
@@HugoSoup57 No, I don't like action films either. I like films like "Marty" and "It's a Wonderful Life". Those movies aren't written by guys on LSD. They don't feature the perverse or the weird, like Cuckoo's Nest.
This film, including its actors and its creators, deserves very special praise. Such a potent piece of cinema. I feel that it has been forgotten lately. Good job there are many of us who still remember it, and still love it.
Quiet Side: I love this movie,but I can't watch it. I've seen it twice. The first time in '75 when it first came out,and then a decade later when I met my wife.I haven't watched it since. I just can't.
Well what about Gone With the Wind? That is a fantasia movie with great actors and costumes. Two Feet Apart is also a really good movie that made me cry like a baby.
How insane that she dies so close to when I decided to start reading the book. I started the book on the 26th of September, 2022 - I just finished it today, on the 29th of September, 2022. And she died on the 23rd of September, 2022. I think we watched the movie in high school, but she's the only character I remembered from the movie, so her character was the only one I pictured in my mind as the movie character while reading the book. Did you read the book, Jack?
The most hillarious, depressing, inspiring, horrific, tragic, majestically poweful movie ever. Sweet Jesus, bring us back to a place where films like THIS are what people demand.
It reminds me of my time working in two different brain injury facilities. I was a staff on the floor working with the patients for a little over three years.
Almost 50 years and this movie continues so moving, joyful and incredible! We don't feel all this time when we watch it. Amazing acting, screenplay and direction! Certainly one of my top 5 movies ever!
This is my favourite movie of all time. It used to be the godfather but the simplicity of this is pure beauty. But they are all equally wonderful in different ways
The first film i saw starring Jack Nicholson was Batman and i realised how great actor he is but when i saw this movie for the 1st time i realised that he is the best actor ever!!! Any other actor in my opinion could not play this role better than Jack Nicholson.....
Agreed. He was made to act. We can really tell it was a gift. Something just tapped in him by the Creator’s hand. Amazing performance EVERY time. You should see the Shining
I've just finished watching it... A friend of mine has a copy of it on D.V.D. & he put it on for me, out of the blue... I haven't seen it, in over 20 year's... I'd forgotten how much of a classic, it actually is... A truly beautifully touching, hilarious, moving, piece of art... And is one of the reason's why Jack Nicholsons' my favourite actor... It is also my 2nd favourite film of all time, after Shawshank Redemption... OUTSTANDING !!!
turns 45 today! I watched it so long ago Had no idea it was based on a book. This is still one of the best performances of Jack Nicholson's career. The book's author did work as a volunteer in a California mental hospital though wasn't a fan of Nicholson's casting, was displeased with the film and sued the producers. Plus there was a falling out between Nicholson and director Neil Forman over creative differences. Still the rivalry between him and Nurse Ratchet is iconic and serves as microcosm for the culture wars of the 1970s. Many themes are kept intact from freedom vs institutionalization as well as rebellion vs authority, conformity, gender roles, homophobia, misogyny, racism. I still remember how tragic the ending was. The movie was one of many criticized by psychologists. And it does deviate from the source material heavily. Actor William Redfield sadly lost his life to leukemia while on set. But the book itself has earned its place on high school reading lists forever engraved in the culture. They also made it into a stage play with Kirk Douglas playing Randle. They actually did film it in a real mental hospital making it very authentic. In the 60s the Kirkbride Plan was initiated to better treat patients equally and with care since many hospitals didn't care for them or the numbers were too high. Still an excellent film speaking about the mistreatment of patients and the failure of the system itself. Mental health is better looked at today than it ever was. The movie even shifted psychiatric practices for the better.
just sent the trailer to a friend who has never seen the movie - looking at it today just made me smile to see Jack Nickolson looking so young - the guy might have aged but the movie never will.
I watched it for the first time on DVD today (18-05-2021). It's absolutely brilliant. Jack Nicholson is a great actor and he is best known for playing as a madman, Randle McMurphy. It's definitely one of the best 70s films of all time.
'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' deeply moved me. I'd like to pay tribute to the outstanding performances of Jack Nicholson, Louise Fletcher, Danny Devito, Will Sampson, Sydney Lassick, Christopher Lloyd, William Redfield, and the rest of the remarkable cast.
R.I.P Miloš Forman 1932-2018 One of my all time favourite filmmakers. One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest is still and forever my favourite Best Picture Winner ever. With iconic films including Amadeus, The Firemen’s Ball, Ragtime, Man on The Moon and The People vs. Larry Flynt. A tremendous and legendary career of a filmmaker who beautifully captured the human spirit.
I am 35 now .. i have seen film with my 22 or something first time .. didn't watch till end and had no idea about or interest .. YOU HAVE TO GROW UP FOR THIS EPIC MASTERPIECE TO UNDERSTAND IT ! 10/10
If you love movies then watch this. In my opinion it is the greatest movie of all time. The 5 biggest Oscars that this movie won confirm this. An absolute masterpiece. I have seen it so many times that I know the entire script. You have to see this movie!
The actor who play's 'Washington' is the best actor no one knows about, Nathan George. He gives an incredible performance in this, 'Ratched' is the most hated, but 'Washington' is second. He was a black actor who didn't like the one note blaxploitation stereotypes, most male black actor's received, he instead wanted to play more complex characters like 'Washington', and also 'Ice' in 'Short Eyes'. He gave one of the great stage performances in 'No Place To Be Somebody', and I believe Michael Douglas remembered and cast him in this movie!
Bro this is hands down one of the best movies i have ever seen. I wish it would come out again. These days i dont watch anything. But then again i have nobody to watch it with so maybe thats a factor. Defacto
I really think this has to be one of the best movies of all time. 10/10 recommend if you haven't seen it. Very interesting perspective, goes to show that anyone can be "crazy" & honestly everyone is probably...
Thank you Jack and the rest, you are metastatic! Especially, Jack, one of the most important stars of our generation! Thank you all for this wonderful and wondrous movie!
That Nurse Ratched is a an evil beast! I wasn't ready for the movie to end the way it did. I can't believe he went in there not crazy and his fate was exactly what she wanted it to be... "a handled problem". Wow.
Update: I just HAD to watch ‘Nurse Ratched’ after this movie, and it was SO good…but the original Nurse Ratched is etched into my brain. I thought Nelly from Little House On The Prairie was ratchet/wretched till I saw this movie.
The "lunatics" (not the patients) have taken over the asylum... Thanks to Milos Forman's direction and Jack Nicholson's unforgettable performance (as well as the other castmembers) still one of the most moving and powerful films that came out of that groundbreaking era of seventies-cinema: "Dirty Harry", "The Devils", "A Clockwork Orange", "Straw Dogs", "Deliverance", "The French Connection", "The Godfather", "The Exorcist", "All The President's Men", "JAWS", "Marathon Man", "Three Days Of The Condor", "Taxi Driver", "The Warriors", "The Wanderers", "Manhattan" and "Apocalypse Now". Still, "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest", in all its "simplicity", has stood the test of time many times over, and has kept its cool and "sanity" ever since. This True Classic truly deserves more than one view a year. Or as Phil Collins would say: "No (strait)jacket required".
All the films mentioned by Wil de Rot still hold up now 40-50 years on to repeated views and analysis, the seventies was truly a classic decade in film history, The Sting, Chinatown, Star Wars, Papillon ,Cabaret, Annie Hall, Serpico , the list is endless ! No decade comes close for great movies and Nicholson was on fire.
Jack nickholson was a beast on this movie. Now I know why he was known as one of hollywood's greatest actor oh wait and every cast of this movie was great. Watch out for mr. Turkle :D
@@amjh4lah809 I am an expert in what I consider a classic movie. I don't need to be told which are the classics by people who want to shape society's values. My example of a classic is "It's a Wonderful Life". Not this twisted trash written by a junkie.
@@fruticetum Well "expert", I'm a massive movie fan, and anyone who classes themselves as an "expert" in the field of movies, probably shouldn't call themselves one when they don't count or consider this film as being a classic movie. It's A Wonderful Life is a classic, yes. But classic films are still be made, long after the black and white film era.
@@amjh4lah809 Again, I am in expert in what I believe. This film is crap. I saw it for the first time three days ago. It was 1970s slow and boring. It glorified profanity and debauchery. Opinion shapers labeled it a classic, not because it was good or entertaining, but because it promoted the Marxist goal of pushing amoral values on American society. They used it for debasement and division to weaken America. It was the exact same thing with giving "Some Like it Hot" the Best Picture Award. That movie was run-of-the mill entertainment-wise, but it portrayed homosexuality for the first time. It was useful for the opinion-shapers.
I am so exited for Ratched that I put down my Stephen King book, to read this book, and then I'll watch this movie, and then I'll watch Netflix. For some of us preparing to watch a show is part of the fun. Although this book wasn't fun-but my mom was right. It sticks with you and makes you think too deeply, but that's not a bad thing
Just re-watched this movie last night, holds up very well. I didn't realize before that Danny Devito was in the movie. OK, now on to Netflix's "Ratched".
There is nothing worse than a psychiatric institution declares one is a psychiatric patient, when one is anything but a psychiatric patient, but how to prove it when the odds are stacked against you. Story of my life.
Happened to me. I was being psychologically abused and neglected by the people who were supposed to care about me. I reacted to that abuse and then my abusers called an ambulance to send me to the psych ward. No one ever asked me whether I suffered from abuse or not, they simply treated me as if I was, not even crazy, but subhuman. They stripped me out of all my dignity and abused me and gaslighted me into submission. Psych wards are run by the mentally ill, the people deemed crazy are simply victims of trauma and ongoing abuse. Psych wards are just the last nail in the coffin, not "help".
During the past few days I saw One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest for the first time and the movie was amazing. I loved the writing the movie (I haven't read the book by Ken Kesey though) and the direction (Miloš Forman o7) had. The actors were all great to watch and I really loved Chief (Will Sampson o7) a lot haha, the whole cast was amazing. The ending was very sad and caught me off guard. It was truly a stunning and excellent film.
This movie never gets old. The ending makes me cry every time.
me too :'(

Jack Nicholson and Danny Devito escaping a Mental Institution? The Joker and Penguin escaping Arkham Asylum. Coincidence? I think not.
Not at all❤️
Didn't even put two and two together until this. This is definitely not a coincidence. Wish my brain was as innovative as yours!
That was a prequel, man!
This was just how Joker imaged it to happen.
Neither Devito or Nicholson escaped though
Is there anything ever scripted, acted, produced, directed as fine as this? In the history of cinema? No.
i suggest "good will hunting" too !! awesome movie
YES. A lot of films. You can never compare two works.

I love how the trailer made it seem like he was crazy. In reality he was the most sensible on in the ward.
I remember that from the book. I found myself agreeing with him while he gave freedom and hope to his fellow inmates.
Impulsive and openharted guy, motivator- beast for the system that needs to be tamed. No common sense and individual action is what kills him
He was crazy
No more than anyone else
Some people forget he's acting crazy to get out of going to jail
The song is so nostalgic and sad and full of emotions. So proud to be from the same country as the director.
This was the first R rated film I ever saw when I was a kid and it changed my view of the world forever.

Thanks to Milos Forman's direction and Jack Nicholson's unforgettable performance (as well as the other castmembers) still one of the most moving and powerful films that came
out of that groundbreaking era of seventies-cinema: "Dirty Harry", "The Devils", "A Clockwork
Orange", "Straw Dogs", "Deliverance", "The French Connection", "The Godfather", "The Exorcist", "All The President's Men", "JAWS", "Marathon Man", "Three Days Of The Condor",
"Taxi Driver", "The Warriors", "The Wanderers", "Manhattan" and "Apocalypse Now".
Still, "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest", in all its "simplicity", has stood the test of time many times over, and has kept its cool and "sanity" ever since. This True Classic truly deserves more than one view a year. Or as Phil Collins would say:
"No (strait)jacket required".
All the films mentioned by Wil de Rot still hold up now 40-50 years on to repeated views and analysis, the seventies was truly a classic decade in film history, The Sting, Chinatown, Star Wars, Papillon ,Cabaret, Annie Hall, Serpico , the list is endless ! No decade comes close for great movies and Nicholson was on fire.
I love this movie so much, Jack Nicholson is amazing in it.
One of the best acted films ever.
Jack nickholson was a beast on this movie. Now I know why he was known as one of hollywood's greatest actor oh wait and every cast of this movie was great. Watch out for mr. Turkle :D
A classic.... It took me on an emotional rollercoaster
What an absolute classic. In every sense of the word.
Classically boring and pointless.
@@fruticetum Hahahaha, okay dude (dudette?) Whatever. You clearly wouldn't know what a classic film was even if it punched you in the face.
@@amjh4lah809 I am an expert in what I consider a classic movie. I don't need to be told which are the classics by people who want to shape society's values. My example of a classic is "It's a Wonderful Life". Not this twisted trash written by a junkie.
@@fruticetum Well "expert", I'm a massive movie fan, and anyone who classes themselves as an "expert" in the field of movies, probably shouldn't call themselves one when they don't count or consider this film as being a classic movie. It's A Wonderful Life is a classic, yes. But classic films are still be made, long after the black and white film era.
@@amjh4lah809 Again, I am in expert in what I believe. This film is crap. I saw it for the first time three days ago. It was 1970s slow and boring. It glorified profanity and debauchery. Opinion shapers labeled it a classic, not because it was good or entertaining, but because it promoted the Marxist goal of pushing amoral values on American society. They used it for debasement and division to weaken America. It was the exact same thing with giving "Some Like it Hot" the Best Picture Award. That movie was run-of-the mill entertainment-wise, but it portrayed homosexuality for the first time. It was useful for the opinion-shapers.
Nicholson's crowning achievement. And Louise Fletcher will go down as one of the greatest villains in cinematic history.
I feel like if this movie was made in the 90s. Jim Carrey would definitely of been in it
Without Kirk Douglas starring in the play adaptation of the book, this legendary film wouldn’t exist. RIP Kirk Douglas.
i dont care how popular Jack Nicholson is. Im just here to admire Christopher Lloyd's first ever movie performance
Nicholson and Douglas two legends
I never seen a better movie.
You have got to be kidding.
The other one being "Home Alone" I guess.
my favorite movie,of all time.😀
I am so exited for Ratched that I put down my Stephen King book, to read this book, and then I'll watch this movie, and then I'll watch Netflix. For some of us preparing to watch a show is part of the fun. Although this book wasn't fun-but my mom was right. It sticks with you and makes you think too deeply, but that's not a bad thing
One of my favorite movies. All tyme
Just re-watched this movie last night, holds up very well. I didn't realize before that Danny Devito was in the movie. OK, now on to Netflix's "Ratched".
Who could not be obsessed with Jack Nicholson
There is nothing worse than a psychiatric institution declares one is a psychiatric patient, when one is anything but a psychiatric patient, but how to prove it when the odds are stacked against you. Story of my life.
Happened to me. I was being psychologically abused and neglected by the people who were supposed to care about me. I reacted to that abuse and then my abusers called an ambulance to send me to the psych ward. No one ever asked me whether I suffered from abuse or not, they simply treated me as if I was, not even crazy, but subhuman. They stripped me out of all my dignity and abused me and gaslighted me into submission. Psych wards are run by the mentally ill, the people deemed crazy are simply victims of trauma and ongoing abuse. Psych wards are just the last nail in the coffin, not "help".
@@Knightgil I'm learning more as I go along, thanks for your insights. Hope it's better with you now.
Fantasy babblings of folks who are in denial of their issues.
watched it last night. dont remember when i watched movie with so many laughs and cries. perfect capture of life.
my favorite movie of all time seen it since the 80s . love it
Man around 0:55 the facial expressions he makes and everything really make him look like Jim Carrey.
Where is his emphasized red orange hair that the book likes talking about all the time. Lmao. But besides that this movie looks exactly like the book
It’s not at all.
This movie is a masterpiece, a true classic!!! I highly recommend it. 👍😁👍
During the past few days I saw One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest for the first time and the movie was amazing. I loved the writing the movie (I haven't read the book by Ken Kesey though) and the direction (Miloš Forman o7) had. The actors were all great to watch and I really loved Chief (Will Sampson o7) a lot haha, the whole cast was amazing. The ending was very sad and caught me off guard. It was truly a stunning and excellent film.
After spending 9 weeks in a mental hospital I feel this movie even more.
The favourite film of your favourite films
Jack Nicholson is a method actor for sure. Not to mention this film and the shining ! 💯
Going to watch it now. Thank you everyone for your 2 beautiful cents 💖💖💖 I'm excited! I love a great movie
There was a time that movies worth watching. we barely have any good movies anymore… maybe once every 2 years or so
Jack Nicholson will always be a great crazy talented actor he really goes into character
