freedom

************這篇影評可能有雷************

About the plot:
The film begins with a cocky sociopath criminal，McMurphy（Jack Nicholson），being sent to a psychiatric hospital from prison.It seems he thinks that by "playing crazy" he'll have an easier time and shorter stay in a hospital instead of prison. However, overtime,he comes to see that a mental hospital is a pretty sick place-particularly when it comes to the crazy staff who run the place.He responds to this system by constantly fighting it and trying to subvert their needless rules and control .In the end,the system ultinately crushes him like so many others.The conclusion is certainly something you won't forget.And Louise Fletcher played the coldest and most awful nurse in the history of the film.Her tough performance truly made the film.Othersize, if she hadn't been so utterly devoid of humanity,the film just wouldn't have worked.
About the theme:
The movie exists to show not only how corrupt and poorly constucted society'sapproach to the "mentally unstable" is,but it creates characters that we have all met in life and shows how the McMurphy-like figure that we all wish we had fights for freedom of choice,and basic human right.It is a reflection of the status of American society at that time,and focuses primanly on two themes:freedom and individuality.Freedom is one of the eternal themes of humanity,and the pursuit of freedom and the possession of liberty are the rights of everyone.The hospital just stands for the power institution.I like this style.
