: One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest
Not at all what I expected, especially the horrible things I’d heard about Nurse Ratchet (who wasn’t that mean). The film’s a comedy about people in an insane asylum, with Jack Nicholson’s character the provoker of all sorts of mayhem. It’s witty, fun, bizarre, and occasionally thoughtful, but my expectations were higher. It’s a decent film, but I’m surprised it swept the Oscars the way it did — looking at it 28 years later it doesn’t seem that remarkable. I’m glad a saw it, and I liked it, but I was hoping for something more profound. There was no deep meaning or revelation.
