There’s something in Jack Nicholson’s McMurphy that unsettles me because it reminds me of the late Mr-Oh-So-Wrong. #OneFlewOverTheCuckoosNest

The film "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", directed by Milos Forman and based on Ken Kesey's novel, was released fifty years ago today.

I last saw the film donkeys years ago. It's now thought of as a classic of New Hollywood, but I have been thinking of it recently less in terms of film history and more with regard to its influence on mental health policy, attitudes towards psychiatric treatment, and hostility towards public institutions in general.

I haven't researched the matter, but I suspect that influence might have been pernicious.

One advantage of buying movies digital: free upgrades! If you buy a movie in HD, you get the 4K version for free upon release. No need to buy the movie twice. A very nice perk. Happens with movies I bought years ago, nice! #movies #4K #OneFlewOvertheCuckoo’sNest

Thank you, @filmhouseedinburgh.bsky.social . Many years since I last saw One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, & never before on the cinema screen, which is a different experience.

Amazing performances; not just Nicholson, but very young Brad Douriff (in one of his first major film roles) & Christopher Lloyd. Classic #film

Nala's Favoritest Films #40 - "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest " (1975)

I don't think there is a more evil character in all of cinema than Louise Fletcher's Oscar-winning performance as Nurse Ratched.

He really is certifiable. #Trump #oneflewoverthecuckoosnest

Nurse Ratched didn't have a first name in the book. Louise Fletcher chose "Mildred".

The Metallica song based on 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest'
Metallica may have looked at the dark side of life for their songs, but one of their first ballads actually pulled from the warped mind of a lunatic.

#Früher™️ hielt ich #EinerFlogÜberDasKuckucksnest (1975) für einen tollen und wichtigen #Film.

Sommer 2022 habe ich das Buch (1962) von #KenKesey gelesen. War geflasht. #Leseempfehlung
Sah den Film nochmal. Konnte nicht mehr verstehen, warum ich ihm je was abgewinnen konnte.

Gerade mit dem #Audiobook #OneFlewOverTheCuckoosNest von #JohnathanOliver gelesen durch.
Unbedingte #Hörempfehlung.

Empfehle weil guter Kontrast außerdem #IchHabeDirNieEinenRosengartenVersprochen von #JoanneGreenberg.

Last week I bought a copy of Ken Kesey's novel "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" in a used bookstore. Having never read the novel, although the movie, is one of my favorites, I found to my surprise, the novel is a .... misogynistic piece of garbage! It is pure sexism and even low level racist.

I can't believe that to this day the book is on so many "best American books of all time" lists.

Did I miss or misunderstand something?

@Bullix Oh wow, I will have to check it out. I always enjoy it when you find a #trek actor in other things. Like the late Louise Fletcher who played Kia Winn in DS9 also played Nurse Ratched in One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest. Thanks for the recommendation!
