ITF Watch: One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest (1975 film)

Widely considered one of the best films of all time, winner of
all five major academy awards, and chosen for preservation in the
National Film Registry, Miloš Forman’s ONE FLEW
OVER THE CUCKOO’S NEST is a masterpiece by most standards, but
how does it compare to Ken Kesey’s novel it was based on? In
episode 138, Luke and James weigh-in early on which was the
superior version, then discuss what makes this movie so
notable.

Topics: another way to read the source material, security vs.
freedom, what makes the film “American”, Jack Nicholson’s unique
talent on display in McMurphy, the refreshing lack of voice over,
the stuff of movie-legend, and the moment Nurse Ratched reveals
her true colors.
