Three Go Over the Cuckoo's Merits
Manage episode 389233633 series 3530684
Emilio, Madeline, and Julian kick off a new cycle of episodes on "Perceptions of Sanity" by discussing a classic film they have all seen before, 1975's "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest." Highly regarded by many, the trio discuss whether they agree with the film's stature in the cinematic pantheon, while also discussing much of the history and production details that led to it before assessing its deeper meaning. Nurse Ratched is considered one of the great movie villains, but is she really that much of a baddie? How does Randle McMurphy hold up as the main vessel of the film's messages? And what insights can be offered by the film's myriad supporting characters? Oh, and also, is this a Christmas movie?
