One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
This film unlike most others on the same topic had no real event to focus on. There was not just one climax or specific scene that the others built up to or supported. I cannot say that I enjoyed it but I do feel it has to a great extent affected me. The only reason I feel that this film is one worth watching is because of the latent message it holds.

Mac on the other hand decides to fight for everything he feels is wrong, not in the least caring whether his ways are extreme or simply unacceptable. He finds out later that he is admitted in the institution for as long as his treatment may take. He knows that if Ms.Ratched has her way, he will never leave. He decides to escape with his friend ‘Chief'. Chief, the...
