Milos Forman has always had a knack for assembling substantial ensemble casts. This is particularly upright in his most critically acclaimed releases (Taking Off, Amadeus and this film) . It would be difficult indeed to approach up with actors and actresses who were better good to gain the roles in OFOTCN. This is correct in terms of both the stars, Jack Nicholson and Louise Fletcher, and the secondary characters. Who could have been a better Harding than William Redfield? A better Billy Bibbit than Brad Dourif? A better Cheswick than Sydney Lassick? And most especially, a better Chief Bromden than Will Sampson?
I cross this movie as the best of the best of what I assume to be American Cinema’s golden decade, the 70s. It certainly won the widest acclaim, with its sweep of the major Oscars for 1975 (Nicholson also won best actor from the Recent York Film Critics voters that year) .
Not to be overlooked is the astounding job performed by the film’s adaptors, Bo Goldman and Lawrence Hauben, who also won Oscars for their screenplay. Accurate, they did have a fairly decent stage version (by Dale Wasserman) to work with. I remember seeing an safe production of the play, with a terrific cast, in San Francisco circa 1972. Unprejudiced as an aside, I read in the Norton Well-known edition of the recent, a review of a NY production of the play by Walter Kerr that was an absolute pan. Suffice it to say that the movie is grand different than either the unusual or the play. Those familiar with Kesey’s mountainous current understand how difficult a transfer from page to cover would be; about a third of the epic is Bromden’s delusional interior monologue. The final script, quite rightly, focuses almost exclusively on Randal P McMurphy’s struggle with Nurse Ratched for the hearts and minds of the inmates.

This is truly a gut and soul-wrenching movie, with many moments of high maniacal comedy interspersed. Though many of his other films are ample, this is Forman’s masterpiece. If you haven’t read the book, read it. It you don’t maintain this movie, prefer it. There are few works in the history of American literature and film that are kindly.
One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest (1975)
The film One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest is adapted from a fresh of the same name written by Ken Kesey. The movie carries with it symbolism through color, sounds, and images and the casting could not have been more beneficial. Jack Nicholson is cast in the lead role as Randle Patrick McMurphy, a ne’er-do-well who goes into a mental institution to achieve off his jail sentence. He figures it will be more slow than the work farm. His nemesis is Nurse Ratched, cast and played extraordinarily by Louise Fletcher. The movie does well in incorporating feelings and colors that surround the viewer with the mental institution’s atmosphere. And the sounds and images effect forth by director Milos Forman add to that ambiance. One of the film’s biggest successes lies in the cinematography (or lack thereof) . Virtually all the scenes, even when the inmates go outside, are bleak and dumb. The lighting in the institution is the fluorescent, white-out type of lighting. Every slippery hospital surface is revealed and the viewer can almost smell the hospital cleaning fluids emanating from the shroud. The hospital has no vivid satisfied colors, either. It is filmed in the sunless blues and greys of the ward that resemble the patients’ despair. The patients are dressed in sunless grey as well and the nurse, as always, wears stark white. The nurse’s appearance also holds symbolism in it. Her uniform is always perfectly pressed. And her hat is always on straight. She represents order and authority, and her uniform is one symbolic affect of that order. It totally contrasts the patient’s mien – always disheveled, wearing demeaning hospital robes. The director uses wonderfully disenchanting sounds to represent to the audience the distress and helplessness of the patients. One patient is constantly remarking how tired he is and other characters are constantly stuttering and “acting unusual.” Random yells echo throughout the halls. The echo allows for the hospital’s feeling of emptiness and loneliness and gives it a cavernous feel. Its halls are never ending and dash from this institution is futile. The echoes bounce off every surface, trapping each patient in their hold madness. The utilize of hospital noises and colors add to the realistic scenery of the film. It is masterfully done, and each audience member is forced to go through the injure and despair of the patients. The subject matter has always been one I like. The ragamuffin character comes in and saves all the horribly despondent people from pure emotional damage. As if those patients didn’t have it abominable enough, they are constantly being controlled by the Ample Nurse. She represents order, authority – the Establishment. And these unpleasant souls are putting their lives in her hands, only for her to choose advantage of them. Milos Forman puts this yarn in perfect visual do, not using too many film techniques to win away from the account at hand. Colors, images, and sounds carried from the modern to the shroud are constant and well-done. The feeling one gets from the movie is delicously improper, as most asylums surely are. A phenomenal legend by Kesey and direction by Forman, and an uncanny portrayal of McMurphy by Nicholson, allow the record to live on in visual produce.
