This movie was made three years before I was born, and I barely saw this incredible movie this year, in 2024. Jack Nickolson is an incredible actor. I love how Jack Nickolson's character, even though he was a criminal and admitted in a mental institute, he was friendly to the patients, he helped them to see the beauty in the simplest things, and he taught them how to have fun. The actor who played "Chief," also did an outstanding job! I loved the relationship between Jack Nickolson's character and Chief. It was meant to be for Jack Nickolson's character to meet Chief at the mental institute. Chief was able to finally set Jack Nickolson's character free, and Jack Nickolson's character helped Chief to believe in himself and Chief was able to fly over (or get out of) the Cuckoo's Nest,(the mental institute).
