Random Review - One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

So if you don't know what this Random Review thing is about then read Rosie's post below first.

The random number generator generated number 70 for me! A much better film than Rosie's 49 but still an incredibly hard film to review because I love it so so much!


Rosie and I watched this in February after a period of average films starting at number 63 (Ghost Ship, Stay, Tell No One, We Need to Talk About Kevin) so it was refreshing to see an amazing film! It's such an emotional yet funny film, all done with taste, and the film has great messages and values. Every single character is interesting and all the cast are amazing and this film was a worthy winner of the 5 Academy Awards it won. I fought long and hard for this film to win Best Film at the 100th film Awards but that award went to Django Unchained, however this one won Best Story. The ending had me speechless. I cannot fault this film whatsoever.

  1. "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" - was this film conceived with the wonderful, charismatic Mr Nicholson in mind? JN is perfection here, as he is in "As Good As It Gets". I saw "Cuckoo's Nest" on it's first cinema release and for want of a better phrase, it blew me away!

  2. 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' was actually based on a novel so wasn't thought up with Nicholson in mind however I agree, he was perfect for the role!
