    choking a nurse near to death and bringing a bunch of loons on a fishing trip is "very disturbed". clearly you are a very lenient individual

      Ha, yeah I'm pretty lenient I guess but McMurphy does little wrong without extreme provocation. And I'd say most of those patients are not mentally ill. Seeing them as such seems to me to be missing out on, even purposely ignoring, some of the main points of the movie.

          Most of the men on the ward are not mentally ill. They have some weird quirks or personality traits, some have recognised conditions (like epilepsy) which make it difficult for them to conform to conventional society. Because of this inability to conform they are made to feel like outcasts and have been driven to commit themselves to an insane asylum.

            Yeah except without the ghosts, or the hotel or Jack trying to kill his family. Now that I think about it other than Jack Nicholson and Scatman Crothers this movie has nothing to do with The Shining.

              the scatman crothers connection was what made me start the post actually and he has a similar job as well in both movies. In any case whos to say the hospital is not haunted ?? chief was an imaginary character in mcmurphy's head and it was someone else who killed him?? other ideas i will come up with later

                Well in that case I guess it's more accurate to call The Shining "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest" in a hotel.

                  exactly. its "One flew over the Overlook Hotel"
                  the parallels become more obvious the more you think about it

                    Meh, I would have to agree that is a bit of an oversimplification.

                        This is a very narrow way to analyze it…
