One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975)
Brief outline of the plot
The film starts with the introduction of the characters that are on the ward which sets the scene of a mental hospital then we have RP McMurphy arrive in a car with handcuffs on showing he is a criminal which then we get the reason why he is in prison in the first place for statutory rape of a 15-year-old. Who has been sent to the mental hospital to be evaluated. Then is put on the ward with Nurse Ratched who runs the ward. RP McMurphy met some very intreseting men who made connections with Billy Bibbit, Charlie Cheswick, Dale Harding, Max Taber and Chief. They all broke out and went on a fishing trip where they all bonded. McMurphy learns in group theory that he is one of the few men that are committed to the ward along with Taber and Chief and when Cheswick has a tantrum and they all get electroconvulsive therapy. Then when Nurse Ratched leaves for the night the patients through a Christmas party were two women come onto the ward. Billy tells McMurphy he likes Candy and McMurphy persuads Billy to have sex with Candy and when Nurse Ratched comes onto the ward in the morning and finds BIlly and Candy together she threatens to tell his mother about it. Billy is overwhelmed with fear and locks himself in the doctor’s office and commits suicide. The enraged McMurphy chokes Ratched, before being knocked out by an orderly. Nurse Ratched comes back with a neck brace. Rumors spread that McMurphy escaped, rather than be taken "upstairs". Later that night, Chief sees McMurphy being returned to his bed. He discovers McMurphy has lobotomy scars on his forehead, and smothers his friend with a pillow. Chief finally throws the hydrotherapy cart through the window and escapes into the night, cheered on by Taber.
Personal opinion performance sound editing camerawork etc
I personally think that the characters of RP McMurphy and Nurse Ratched are extremely well performed as they show through action codes and their body language exactly how they are feeling which takes a good actor or actress to do this and become a villain or a liked character.
