飞越疯人院英文影评 The review of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest ——self-reflection 1. My impression and feeling about this film The beginning of this film gives me a sense of comedy:a bunch of nuts are playing poker, Mr. Martini is always smiling, Mr. Cheswick seems to be crying, their "therapy" looks like a circus show...... However , the film ends with a tragedy . I watch this movie twice. After that, I'm thinking that we are playing what kind of role in this real world. I wish I were McMurphy who is a little bit unrestrained but can do everything he want to do. He does not care about all kinds of rules and maybe his behavior can't accept by everybody, but, to give him due respect, at most he is an indocile troublemaker. But sometimes I choose to be chief, keeping silent and giving up his pursuits. When growing older, I am facing more and more difficulties and what I can do is making my efforts to deal with them. I am tired, I want to give myself a long holiday, so I really want I can be chief to escape myself from the reality some time. But sometimes I will become head nurse who is always serious, controls other people and forces them to give up their own ideas to obey the rules of the unity. Maybe a lot of people don't like her, but I think sometimes the society needs such person to maintain order, besides , she is not so bad. She's just brainwashed by the society and I notice that she smiles at the ending of -1- The review of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest the film.Perhaps most of the time, I just like the patients, blind and numb , are refrained by a set of rules from the start. Due to the uniform model life, eventually they forget who they are. So am I. I remember that my dream is to be a writer, a novel writer, but I have given up few years ago. Because the people around me all say what I should do is studying and then find a decent and steady job. 2. McMurphy and me I am not living in mental institution, but I am; I am not constrained by the concrete rules, but I am bounded by the intangible ones...... In my opinion, McMurphy represents freedom and individuality, his sentence "at least I tried" touches me so much that gives me a lot of thoughts. McMurphy attempts to move up a washbowl to smash Windows and run, but all ward mates bet that he can't lift the heavy washbowl. He does not agree, tries repeatedly after he gives up, and then he says to oneself, also to all the inmates "at least I tried" as going away lonely. It is the charm of McMurphy's character:never give in, never give in flying over the mental institution. Compared with him, I am the greenhouse flower. Turning my mind back to my past, I was always listen to other's advices "you should do this, you can't do that", and even I had no courage to try something what I wanted to do. There are many people just like me--greenhouse flowers--in the society which can't endure us to make mistakes. We are -2- The review of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest afraid of others' judgment just like the doctors see McMurphy with colored eyes ,we fear we make the wrong choice...... I have a question that how many people have said to himself "at least I tried", maybe some, maybe a few, at least I am not the one of them. So I really respect McMurphy that he does I can't or dare not do. Before the film ending , I have contrived the end-- McMurphy and Chief escape and lead a carefree life. However, he is dead. It's my regret, I don't know how to express my feeling. On the one hand, his death is a tragedy, he is supposed to escape; On the other hand, his soul is free and he liberates Chief. 3. About the Theme and My Harvest The movie is a reflection of the status of American society at that time, and focuses primarily on two themes—freedom and individuality. Freedom is one of the eternal themes of humanity, and the pursuit of freedom and the possession of liberty are the rights of everyone. Meanwhile, It is one of the symbols of a civilized country that to protect the citizens right to be freedom. In this film, the psychiatric hospital just stands for the power institution. But under the humanitarian guise, they just use brutal rules to repress human nature, and then, let these once normal people become real "nerds". In fact, these, who accept “close treatment”in a mental hospital, are only the victims of medical experiments, nothing more. -3- The review of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest I have said that I respect McMurphy, but I am thinking if he stayed in jail and never appeared in Cuckoo's Nest, the everything would go smoothly. At least ,Billy and he won't die. Maybe McMurphy bring the patients happiness, but it isn't make any difference to them. Maybe they have a little change, but in fact ,they still can't leave the hell (Cuckoo's Nest) because they can't fight against the hear, pressure ,rules and so on. Maybe McMurphy bring them hope and dream, but sometimes dream makes those who are afraid of chasing dream more painful. Just like Billy, he gets back a little confidence at the expense of life. After McMurphy's death, the Cuckoo's Nest goes back and becomes"normal"again, except for lessening three people. All in all,the film, especially this guy, really entangles me. -4-
