One Flew over the Cuckoos Nest

One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest is a film that was directed by Milos Forman, starring Jack Nicholson and released in 1975. One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest is based on a book that was written by Ken Kesey in 1962. Even though the movie was released in 1975, it took place around the early 1960's which is set to be during the cold war era. The reason we know that this movie took place in the 1960's is when McMurphy wants to watch the world series game and Nurse Ratchet wont put it on for them. He starts yelling the game out like he's a news caster, and yells out "It's the world series game of 1963".

The movie, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, tells the story of Randall P. McMurphy, a convict, who is sent to a mental institution because he believes he is insane.  In actuality McMurphy, is sane when he comes to the mental ward, he only wants to get out of the work that jail time entails.  It is believed that his stay in the mental ward is what drives the man insane.  While in the mental ward, he interacts with the patients of his ward and ends up changing their worlds completely.  When two different societies are combined, they undoubtedly will change one another.  This is the case when McMurphy coming from the "real" world, a society where a person can do what he pleases, is associated with the mental ward patients, whose lives are completely controlled by their nurses and their routines.  McMurphy and the patients have a significant effect on each other.
