    One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

    In this podcast episode of Film Surgery, hosts Nick Wright and Sanjay Kumar review One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, the 1975 film starring Jack Nicholson.

McMurphy (Nicholson), who pretends to be mentally ill to avoid prison but clashes with the institution’s authority, especially Nurse Ratched. The hosts praise Nicholson's performance, discussing his unique portrayal of McMurphy, who doesn’t exhibit symptoms like other patients. They highlight comedic scenes, such as McMurphy’s antics with the bus and boat fishing scene, illustrating his rebellious, charismatic influence on fellow patients. The hosts admire Louise Fletcher's performance as Nurse Ratched, noting her ability to remain calm and subtly menacing, which made her a memorable antagonist.
