Movie Notes: One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest
One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest is set in an insane asylum in which reside a definitive “cast of characters,” each vivid, colorful, and memorable. Into the mix is thrown R. McMurphy (Jack Nicholson) who’s trying to avoid a prison sentence by faking insanity. In his initial conversation with the head doctor, it’s quite obvious Jack isn’t nuts — he’s a rabble rouser, a quintessential troublemaker: an instigator.
