McMurphy (played by Jack Nicholson) pretended to be mentally abnormal to escape the forced labor in prison and was sent to a mental hospital. His arrival brought a violent shock to the lifeless mental hospital. Mike requested to watch the TV broadcast of the baseball game, challenging the strict management system of the hospital, and was obstructed in every possible way by the head nurse, Ratchett (played by Louise Fletcher). Mike led the patients to go fishing at sea, which lifted their spirits but gave the hospital a headache. To punish Mike for his audacious behavior and repeated violations of hospital rules, the hospital has decided to keep him in the mental hospital forever. Mike, who was naturally free-spirited, could no longer bear the life in the mental hospital. He joined forces with his fellow patients, the tall Indian "Chief", and began his own plan: to fly over the mental hospital. This film won five awards at the 48th Academy Awards in 1975, including Best Picture, Best Actor and Best Actress, Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay. The protagonist's spirit of "Rather die than be free" still holds great practical significance in today's society.[Collapse]
