One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is a novel written by Ken Kesey. Set in an Oregon psychiatric hospital, the narrative serves as a study of institutional processes and the human mind; including a critique of psychiatry, and a tribute to individualistic principles. It was adapted into the Broadway (and later off-Broadway) play: "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" by Dale Wasserman in 1963. Bo Goldman adapted the novel into a 1975 film (of the same name) directed by Miloš Forman, which won 5 Academy Awards.

Time magazine included the novel in its "100 Best English-language Novels from 1923 to 2005" list. In 2003 the book was listed on the BBC's The Big Read poll of the UK's 200 "best-loved novels."

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is a 1975 American psychological comedy-drama film directed by Miloš Forman, based on the 1962 novel of the same name by Ken Kesey. The film stars Jack Nicholson as Randle McMurphy, a new patient at a mental institution, and features a supporting cast of Louise Fletcher, Will Sampson, Danny DeVito, Sydney Lassick, William Redfield, as well as Christopher Lloyd and Brad Dourif in their film debuts.




Filming began in January 1975 and lasted three months, taking place on location in Salem, Oregon, and the surrounding area, as well as on the Oregon coast. The producers decided to shoot the film in the Oregon State Hospital, an actual mental hospital, as this was also the setting of the novel. The hospital still functions today.

Considered by many to be one of the greatest films ever made, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is No. 33 on the American Film Institute's 100 Years... 100 Movies list.

The film was the second to win all five major Academy Awards (Best Picture, Actor in Lead Role, Actress in Lead Role, Director, and Screenplay) following It Happened One Night in 1934, an accomplishment not repeated until 1991 with The Silence of the Lambs. It also won numerous Golden Globe and BAFTA Awards. In 1993, the film was deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" by the United States Library of Congress, and selected for preservation in the National Film Registry.

McMurphy has a criminal past and has once again gotten himself into trouble and is sentenced by the court. To escape labor duties in prison, McMurphy pleads insanity and is sent to a ward for the mentally unstable. Once here, McMurphy both endures and stands witness to the abuse and degradation of the oppressive Nurse Ratched, who gains superiority and power through the flaws of the other inmates. McMurphy and the other inmates band together to make a rebellious stance against the atrocious Nurse.—Jacob Oberfrank

  ПИКАДО Рака је купио пикадо. Пре тога је дуго размишљао, не о пикаду али до пикада је на крају дошао. Његов след мисли већ дуже време је био поприлично конфузан: „Схватам да сам угожен...осећам то… како, од кога, на који начин – на све начине али неизвесност траје...сада слушам ове псе како бесомично лају, не престају, то су комшијски пси и ужасни су...заробљени, јадни, тих пар квадратних метара… али ја више не гледам телевизор, не купујем новине, немам другове, више немам информације...искључио сам мобилни и онако ме више одавно нико не зове… и шта?! Ништа, не могу да се жалим...мирно је...ови пси али некако се навикнеш...шта да радим, да живимсам на планину...не, не, добро је овде овако само треба вежбати...треба вежбати стрпљење...ту је кључ ... ствар је у томе да морам и кући вежбати...физички, психички а после и духовно… поента је да морам вежбати и код куће… ни музику више не слушам! Морам брзо нешто да смислим и то неку вежбу за фокусирање, за психички мир…“ - тако некако ...

Kosta je stajao na tankoj crti, floroscentno plave boje... Osećao je da isijava sopstvenom unutrašnjom svetlošću i da ima razloga što stoji na crti, koju je između ostalog, da spomenemo, sam stvorio. Oko Koste i crte nema ničega. Kosta je u mraku i njemu je to bilo dovoljno. Taj mrak je bio njegov, on je zamislio takav mrak... Kosta je poželeo da se pored njega, u mraku, pojavi božanstvena, prelepa boginja-muza, koja će ga napojiti svojim inspirativnim darovima. Muza se pojavila i bila je slepa. Znao je da će biti slepa, to je i želeo. Stajala je kao kip, kao živi slepi mit. Uživao je. Napajao se „božanstvenom“ energijom svoje boginje. Disao je duboko i teško, osetio je da mu se disanje usporava i da srce počinje jako da mu udara. Uplašio se... Boginja je ostala nema i sjajno slepa. Njeno slepilo je isijavalo snažnu, belu, svetlost koju Kosta sada više nije mogao da podnese. Želeo je nazada u svoj mrak. Ništa više, samo nazad u  svoj mrak. Sve je nestalo... Ostao je mrak i florosce...

  Outcome On Gunpoint Ishod Na Nišanu "Ode to Loyalty" Thought ... Like a razor, like a flash of light like a red diamond, like a dot. * A boat full of feelings is flying these days With a crust of heavy imagination Unreachable ideal In funeral gowns With empty hands - with no sense A little different from understanding anything On the horizon of a magnificent sight Under masks Under dry branches With the feeling of stuck rotten leaves on the soles With tears in his eyes and big pupils full of obedience and fear ... Then, it means a lot An ode to loyalty In trouble On a stone path Among the thorns On the edge... "Oda O Odanosti"   Misao, misao, misao... Kao oštrica brijača, kao udar svetla kao crveni dijamant, kao tačka. * Jurca ovih dana barka puna osećanja, Sa korom tvrde mašte, Nepostižnih ideala U odorama Praznih ruku - bez smisla Malo drugačije od poimanja bilo čega Na obzorju veličanstvenog prizora Pod maskama Ispod suvih grana Sa osećajem zalepljenog trulog l...
