one flew over the cuckoo's nest (1975). directed by milos forman.

i am no facebook addict. nevertheless i like the template, i like simple templates like that. so long it's not all black like you are mourning for something.

my brother puts on One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975) and it is true that jack nicholson has this beautiful voice like flowing olive oil. it was an assembled cast of soon-to-be-greats like danny de vito and robert duvall.



my brother is religious when it comes to movies. it's a serious business to choose what you watch.

of nicholson's character:
McMurphy is an apparently unquenchable optimist, refusing to succumb to the defeated spirit of all the other patients. His livewire antics, inspiring the patients are generally uplifting, and when his indomitable spirit is finally broken, we really feel for him and his fellow patients. Nicholson conveys the essence of McMurphy to perfection, demonstrating his excellent understanding and interpretation of the character. When McMurphy announces that he is going to lift a huge stone fountain and hurl it through the window to escape, the other patients are so caught up in his intoxicating spirit of freedom that they honestly believe he can do it, despite the fact it would be impossible for a man much stronger than him. When McMurphy finally discovers that despite his best efforts, he cannot lift the fountain, he is so openly crushed that we can't help but feel for him. Beneath the frequent profanities and livewire antics, there are real human emotions, which come across as truly touching.
the point is, you can't break me.

something great to watch, because it makes you think. not twilight or new moon, sorry.
