48. Agreed - the film is a complete bastardization and cartoonization of the book.
"One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" is one of the 4 or 5 best and most important novels written during the 20th century. The film is just a cheap, quick ripoff of the book, and it misses both the point of the book and the point of view of the book. Ken Kesey, the author of the book, hated the film. The only good thing about the film is that it may lead people to read the book.
