The big problem with this movie is that the protagonist and antagonist are too black and white for such a highly regarded drama. The movie gives us a loose cannon named McMurphy ( Jack Nicholson ) who acts so manic while imprisoned that he gets sent to a psych ward lorded over by the shrewd and miserable Nurse Ratched ( Louise Fletcher ). Most of the people on the psych ward are drooling man-children or brain dead vegetables, but McMurphy is cool and charismatic. Clearly, this guy isn’t crazy at all. Instead of being a real life look at somebody with mental illness, McMurphy is just a counter culture agent of change. The script has to jump through hoops trying to explain to us why he would be put in the psych ward, why he would be kept there when it’s clear to everyone he’s not really insane, and why his presence would be tolerated once he starts interfering with the rehabilitation of the other patients.
