| - One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is a 1975 Best Picture Academy Award winning American film directed by Milos Forman. Its allegorical theme is set in the world of an authentic mental hospital, a place of rebellion exhibited by an energetic, flamboyant, wise-guy anti-hero against the Establishment, institutional authority and status-quo attitudes. Expressing his basic human rights and impulses, the protagonist protests against heavy-handed rules about watching the World Series, and illegally stages both a fishing trip and a drinking party in the ward - leading to his own paralyzing lobotomy. Jack Nicholson's acting persona as the heroic rebel McMurphy, who lives free or dies, had earlier been set with his performances in Easy Rider (1969) and Five Easy Pieces (1970). The mid-70s baby-boomers' counter-culture was ripe for a film dramatizing rebellion and insubordination against oppressive bureaucracy and an insistence upon rights, self-expression, and freedom. The role of the sexually-repressed, domineering Nurse Ratched was turned down by five actresses - Anne Bancroft, Colleen Dewhurst, Geraldine Page, Ellen Burstyn, and Angela Lansbury - until Louise Fletcher, in her film debut, accepted casting only a week before filming began. Actor James Caan was also originally offered the lead role of McMurphy, and Marlon Brando and Gene Hackman were considered as well. The entire film was shot in sequence, except for the fishing scene (shot last).
