Flying Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975)
The film tells the story of Mac Murphy, played by Jack Nicholson, who injects himself into a psychiatric clinic to avoid a prison sentence for attempted rape. In the clinic, he faces cruel methods of managing patients, especially the manipulative head physician Ratched. Patients live in close control and discipline, undergoing medical treatments and psychotherapy.The main character is Mac, who, with his anti-authoritarian and naughty actions, undermines Ratched's authority and injects a spirit of freedom and recalcitrance among other patients. It organizes various events and games to protest against the clinic's authoritarianism.
The conflict between Mac and Ratched culminates when Mac tries to organize a celebration for patients for Independence Day. This leads to a series of events that destroy the carefully constructed world of the clinic, and brings to light many hidden conflicts and problems.
