Cuckoo’s Nest
2
I was heading to bed last night, but was pulled in by the showing of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.
I don’t think I have watched this film in years; I likely last saw it when I was in high school. I read the book around the same time as well. I know the book and the film are not the same. They are similar, but not the same vantage point.
This movie was genius and deserves to be ranked as one of the better movies. Ken Kesey’s work was art. The movie has some value on the surface, but it’s really not about mental health patience at all.
The deeper I look into this work, the more I realize that it is about today. It was about then and it is about today. The symbolism is striking and strong.
Our electroshock therapy seems to be getting stronger and stronger all the time. We have the currents of a world running through our nervous system and we seem to be getting immune.
