It was b/c they wanted to have that moment of freedom and to be themselves and not be caged! The mind is a damn mystery and so these people were treated like shit! Then McMurphy's joy when Chief raised his hand they should have watch the the world series! Ratched wouldn't let them! So mean!
yep me too. It's even more poignant considering how everything goes later on in the movie, with Mac. (and for those who don't know what i mean, NO i'm not going to tell you and don't anyone else tell them either! Spoilers! LOL)
@@bad4031 I highly disagree. I do think DDL is the greatest. But he's 18 when this film came out, so he's too young. He's 186 cm in height, so he's too tall, cause McMurphy needs to be shorter than Nurse Ratched in heels and way shorter than Chief. And dare I say, he's too sophisticated and pretty boy-ish to be McMurphy. It's not all about acting skill, but also looking the part.
This brought manly tears to my eyes...this has to be one of the most inspirational scenes in any movie ever, even in a place like a mental institution, your mind cannot be caged.
I couldn't agree with you more!! I also get very emotional when I see this scene--(really, the entire film gets me very emotional!!) This movie really is about the strength of the human spirit!!
Christian Rowbotham I guess you can never say never--but Jack Nicholson was so perfect for this part!! I just have a hard time imagining ANYBODY else playing McMurphy...he absolutely embodies the character!!
This scene always makes me tear up. McMurphy was defiant in how he refused to let Ratched make him miserable. It's a beautiful scene, to watch a bunch of buddies cheer and have fun instead of being sad and down trodden.
2:01 - that fucking scream though, that's what makes me love Jack Nicholson as an actor. He just made it look so natural. No one else can pull of this kind of acting but jack
I tear up so much in this scene. He treats them like human beings and provides them with an experience so denied to them. He brings dignity to people who have known none.
This scene shows u the power of imagination. NO one can take that away from you. McMurphy took the power from the nurse and created a world of his own and “watched” a baseball game! Classic scene from a classic film.
Ahrs32 She told him she was of age. Girls pull this shot all the fucking time to men. If anyone should of been arrested it should have been the girl. He was not seeking a child.
Brad Dourif was just getting started too. I think he had a lot of potential, and I would have liked to see him in bigger roles. At least we got Chucky out of him. Haha
What makes this scene so iconic is a detail that is easy to overlook. Imagine this scene without the "anesthetizing" music in the background. The counterpoint of that music and McMurphy's manic delivery is brilliant---it adds such a powerful emotional contrast!! That type of detail separates the genius films from the also-ran films!!
It’s not about your misogynist prejudice against women: it’s about authoritarian bureaucratic machines crushing the human spirit and empowering ‘little hitler’ types from night club doormen to ticket inspectors to border police to act out their desire to have power and behave like little kings and Queens for their own narcissism
@@MrPhilosopherking SPOT-on!! This film is ultimately about freedom of the human spirit and the forces that try to crush that freedom!! (We encounter those forces every minute of every day!!)
so many emotions in one scene .. simply amazing.. full of conflicts, full of humanity. especially at 3:15; how he switches his expression so we see that a whimsical idea pops up in his head. And how the blank screen mirrors their faces, simply one of the greatest scene in the history of movie making
You know when you’ve seen a great movie? When you’re still thinking about it the next day! Thought about this one for a week. Just a brilliant picture with great writing and magnificent actors. Unforgettable
I wish the movie had done more to show how she lost her power after being strangled. In the book she can't even talk and she has to write on a pad. In the movie she just has a neck brace on, and also many of the accutes who were voluntary checked out of the hospital
I think it was better in the movie because it added to the point that mcmurphy couldn't beat nurse ratched but nurse ratched couldn't beat the spirit he lead on after the lobotomy
One of the greatest scenes in cinema history! Really shows you how much joy imagination can bring to people who have lost their love of life! Absolutely amazing!
I admit it, I laughed so hard when McMurphy was trying to get at least one patient to vote but failed xD Jack Nicholson is phenomenal, even in his earliest films. This film adaptation is as perfect as the book version. Praise my professor for providing this novel and film in class. Also, I really admire the changing of moods. It was humorous in the beginning and then it slowly descends to a sad tragedy. Love It!
I read this for the first time in Grade 11 English, 43 years ago. Ms. McKentie. One of many great teachers I had. She also introduced me to John Steinbeck. After reading the book, we went on a field trip into Montreal to see the film. Great teacher and a great class.
It's a bunch of the little things that make life worth living, not anything in particular but every little thing that contributes to making life pleasurable... The World Series is one of those little things where we get to find out what the best baseball team in a year is, for some of us that is a little but important part of our lives.
@Christopher Bingham Did you not see this movie ? There wasn't anyone that didn't want to watch the World Series. Either they wanted to or didn't care. The scene above is where the nurse makes Murphy go looking for votes from people who didn't care what was on tv and in fact couldn't even understand what they would be voting on. Think about that. And you should wonder why the nurse is doing such an unreasonable thing.
@Christopher Bingham (rolling my eyes in exasperation) Please watch the video I provide a link to because it will save me time in trying to explain this to you : ruclips.net/video/SSB_IX560S4/видео.html
The only quibble I have is the title “World Series”. I believe only four or five nations play baseball at a professional level. Whereas Association Football ( or Soccer, as the Americans insist on calling it ) is a truly world wide sport, played by hundreds of countries, which culminates in the World Cup played every four years.
This scene always makes me cry. If there is one thing i believe in, thats movies. Movies not only elevate our spirits but also restore our faith in humanity. Jack Nicholsons best movie ever. Thank you for giving us HOPE.
Louise Fletcher's face while she's watching this, you know she's gonna make McMurphy suffer. Her performance as a villain is one of the best of all time.
yep. she couldn't stand to see them subvert her control, so she had to try to end it. I love the way Mac was with it, and if it had been me, I would have ignored her just like he did.
Sadly nurse Ratched was described as an excellent employee by the facility's director. I don't think she started out bad, her job made her cold. Pretty much like the rest of us who get ground down after too long doing the same thing.
Hamartime 17 If you haven't seen the movie by now, Jack Nicholson is in this movie because he is being studied for being "crazy". He wanted to watch the baseball game and throw it in the group of potentially insane and he and nurse Ratched don't like each other too much.
Lol the silent “Naw F#%£ That” Body Language/Gesture at 0:52 was so flipping priceless by Jackie N. there.. Lol 😂. This movie is an absolute classic. 🤜🏾🔥🤛🏻
My favourite scene of the movie. Jack is medicating the patient's better than any of those Nurses and it makes Nurse Ratched PISSED. No one can cage your mind.
To be able to be such a contributor of joy, happiness and faith in the human spirit is the greatest treasures we posses. To use it would solve a lot of mental tics we all posses. Jack Nicholson along with Robin Williams have shown us all that.
What an amazing scene. I love that you can see Nicholson has that energy that inspires the others in character and probably out of character as well. I highly recommend fans of this movie to watch The Last Detail (1973) as well.
They swept the Academy Awards in 1975. This was and is Thee Best movie ever made period. I’ve seen it over 100 times. It never gets old. R.P. McMurphy. Need I say more.
Martini escaped. Got some of his sanity back. Moved to New York. Lost some hair, gained a few pounds. Then he got a job running a cab stand, using some of the management skills he learned from Nurse Rachet.
I Love This Scene. It is the greatest example of how to use your imagination and a perfect example of how to deal with people who like to think they have power over you. Always play them at their own game because they can not stand it...!!
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (Cuckoo's Nest) from 1975 is one of my favorite films of all time where every fear, madness, illness and virtue of its protagonists is explored with humor and compassion, this masterful film is ultimately an unforgettable and incomparable experience.

Jack's acting is beyond the regular applause's here. Everyone knows that. One of the many classic scenes of this movie. But the way Louise Fletcher beads her eyes into something sadistic and satanic, also deserves a mention. She already has piercing eyes by nature, but the way she makes that stare is.. just combination of physical skill and extraordinarily good acting. Cheers for Jack's and Louise's Academy Awards from the the time before I was born!
It adds an unintentional sense of realism to the scene imo. Because it's common to make those kind of mistakes when you're mad and talking out of frustration
I WAS IN THE MENTAL INSTITUTION THIS YEAR AT THE HOSPITAL ECMC (FOR ALCOHOL DETOX WHILE WAITING FOR REHAB) AND THERE WAS ONE TV AND I WANTED TO WATCH THE MASTERS (GOLF) AND I LOST THE VOTE TO THE CHANNEL BET. GODDAMN THIS MOVIE MAKES MORE SENSE TO ME NOW THAN IT EVER DID.....WHAT IS INSANE MAN OR THE INSTITUTION?
Brian, I was placed there 4 times in my life, and I can tell you and everyone else that this is EXACTLY what goes on in every one of those places, from New York to Georgia to Florida. If you care about people you will NEVER put them in such a place. They will be FAR more likely to commit suicide after experiencing being treated like dirt, like a non-human being, by people that become totalitarian when they are given the chance to rule dictatorially! I am not kidding. At least they no longer perform labotomies, but I had to fight to prevent them from giving me shock treatments.

chaotic good vs. lawful evil
Technically nurse ratched is lawful neutral. Which is just as bad.
Burpo Stockings dude she was evil... maybe not always by intention but nonetheless evil
thats hardly chaos
entire world is already crazy
Chaotic Neutral vs Lawful Neutral
This scene taught the world that nobody can cage your mind.
Movie*
It was b/c they wanted to have that moment of freedom and to be themselves and not be caged! The mind is a damn mystery and so these people were treated like shit! Then McMurphy's joy when Chief raised his hand they should have watch the the world series! Ratched wouldn't let them! So mean!
The CIA HAS EVERYONE IN A MENTAL PRISON IN AMERICA WITH MK ULTRA MIND CONTROL.
100%.
True nobody can take ur power away
This is pure movie magic. Jack Nicholson's Oscar win for "One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest" is one of the most well deserved in Oscar history.
I agree 100% Jack Nicholson is a legend! By far McMurphy is my absolute favorite character of his along with Jack Torrence!
👍
Concur. When Oscar's mattered...
Joseph Nickell don’t make this about race you close-minded fool.
Yeah this movie is pure gold lol.
McMurphy's joy when Chief raised his hand was priceless!
Mister Sarajev
Indeed.
@@Dreamskater100 Hands down the best part of this scene, his scream of joy was a great piece of acting, came from the heart.
love the Chief
He didn't get the oscar for nothing!
This scene makes me so happy. I get teary-eyed when Jack gets them happy and cheering
+Rachel Simon He did that on purpose to piss Nurse Rachid off! I cant blame him and this movie is sad!
+Aimee Adesso Ratched is RAT.
Nuse Ratched was evil and mean
Maksim9328 Hillary has that same vibe
yep me too. It's even more poignant considering how everything goes later on in the movie, with Mac. (and for those who don't know what i mean, NO i'm not going to tell you and don't anyone else tell them either! Spoilers! LOL)
Without a doubt, one of the greatest scenes ever in the history of cinema.
Definitely
To me this is by far the GREATEST scene EVER!!! And the greatest movie of all time. Second the Godfather. But wow this movie unbeliavable.
Koufax…Koufax kicks…
So emotional...
No question
Jack Nicholson was absolutely perfect for this role. No one else could have done it like he did.
Could not agree more--it was the dream alignment of an actor and a role made for that actor!
100% even his other movies. legend. he never dies
I agree with you but i think Daniel Day Lewis could've done it great as well
@@bad4031 I highly disagree. I do think DDL is the greatest. But he's 18 when this film came out, so he's too young.

Jack Nicholson's acting is incredible!! The transition of emotion you see in his face when he goes from being furious to lighting up!
Sam Sacks Absolutely. I just hate it he doesn't do movies anymore. His acting is superb.
@@Alter_Dan_K I think being over 80 is a good reason not to do movies anymore.

Any movie ever.....amazing
Infekted X my first R rated film
This is the only movie to experience 4 or 5 emotions
The BEST MOVIE EVER
This role by Jack Nicholson is special to me because I know he played someone that defied authority. One of the greatest movies in history.
Can you imagine ANY other actor playing McMurphy?? NO FRIGGIN WAY!!
Well there could be Someone else playing the role as macmurphy as good as nicholson however nicholson suites him better
Christian Rowbotham I guess you can never say never--but Jack Nicholson was so perfect for this part!! I just have a hard time imagining ANYBODY else playing McMurphy...he absolutely embodies the character!!
.....Jack Nicholson is a rebel within the system in real life anyway.
Contakum he was great in the last detail.
"Chief! The Chief! AAAAAAAHHH!!!"
Beat me to it!!!
I LIKE JUICY FRUIT.
@@MsSmitty9 you fooled em all
I was proud of The Chief. :)

Never underestimate the power of laughter and joy.

One of the best scenes in movie history.
4:12 THE INNER RAGE behind those eyes.. amazing acting!
0:50 always makes me laugh.
I like to believe Jack didn’t see anyone in the background before this scene and that dude really just stunned him

One of the best performances of an antagonist in cinema
So many emotions with that one looks. She is most likely thinking I can't believe he's better at this job than me.
Probably my favorite part of this movie and one of the best scenes of movies from the 70's, I think. :) Perfectly written and perfectly acted.
My favourite part is when he gets to Chief he forgets about the game for a moment and focuses on him.
“SHOW HER that you can do it!”
@JustSomeCanadianGuy - This is the often overlooked, but most important moment in this scene, IMO.
Incredible, I’m crying and laughing simultaneously. A true work of art.
Simply put, maybe the greatest 4 minutes in the history of movies. Who cannot be moved by this?
This scene made me understand the excitement and thrill of baseball.
Every once in a while a perfect movie comes along.
Louise Fletcher's face while she's watching this, you know she's gonna make McMurphy suffer. Her performance as a villain is one of the best of all time.
She was perfect at stoneface. :)
...Jack Nicolson is a nut anyway, so makes perfect sense to star him in this great movie. One critic said, “ He's a rebel within the system.“
3:15 I've got a brilliant idea face
At 4:10, one can see clearly the depths of her evil

Mrs Ratchet thought she had control over the patients by leaving the TV off. Boy didn't she looked surprised.

This scene and acting is legendary
He took them to a place that they’ll never forget
Jack's acting is beyond the regular applause's here. Everyone knows that. One of the many classic scenes of this movie.
But the way Louise Fletcher beads her eyes into something sadistic and satanic, also deserves a mention. She already has piercing eyes by nature, but the way she makes that stare is.. just combination of physical skill and extraordinarily good acting.
Cheers for Jack's and Louise's Academy Awards from the the time before I was born!
One of the best movies of all time. Made Jack what he is today
So many amazing touching scenes...and not one single special effect...The 70's...cinemas last great decade..
Nope, cinemas last decade was early 2000s more or less
One of the most beautiful movies ever made.
The Chief raised his hand! HOOWWW!!!
LOL 😲🤣
Please Hollywood don’t ever remake this masterpiece just watch the original
You gonna pull that hen-house shit now?
What a close to that scene - pure genius.
Hats off to the script-writer.
You can put a human body behind walls and bars, but you can never chain the human spirit.
love how he says 10 to 9 instead of 10 to 8 at 2:42
It adds an unintentional sense of realism to the scene imo. Because it's common to make those kind of mistakes when you're mad and talking out of frustration
I wonder if that was intentional
This scene is my favourite scene of the movie and one of the most moving scene .
I was teary eyed and proud when i saw that scene .
Jack is 👌👌👌👌👌
I watched this movie in my early 20’s. I’m 37 and seeing it again is a whole other experience.
I just watched it, I'm 22.
I was laughing so hard in class when Mac goes somebody get me a fucking wiener. Anybody else?
sean morrissey I laugh everytime I'm with you brother
I WAS IN THE MENTAL INSTITUTION THIS YEAR AT THE HOSPITAL ECMC (FOR ALCOHOL DETOX WHILE WAITING FOR REHAB) AND THERE WAS ONE TV AND I WANTED TO WATCH THE MASTERS (GOLF) AND I LOST THE VOTE TO THE CHANNEL BET. GODDAMN THIS MOVIE MAKES MORE SENSE TO ME NOW THAN IT EVER DID.....WHAT IS INSANE MAN OR THE INSTITUTION?
Brian, I was placed there 4 times in my life, and I can tell you and everyone else that this is EXACTLY what goes on in every one of those places, from New York to Georgia to Florida. If you care about people you will NEVER put them in such a place. They will be FAR more likely to commit suicide after experiencing being treated like dirt, like a non-human being, by people that become totalitarian when they are given the chance to rule dictatorially! I am not kidding. At least they no longer perform labotomies, but I had to fight to prevent them from giving me shock treatments.
She is so evil, but my tears always flow during his superb acting. Put this one into a time capsule!
one of the great confrontation scenes in the film....nurse ratched v mcmurphy...powerful stuff...uplifting.
2:02 bah ha ha, that'd be me if I won the lottery 😆
