I was barely 14 years old, I went and saw this at the Regal Cinema twice. I had read the book a year before and was fascinated with the film version. Jack Nicholson gave a stellar performance, but Louise Fletcher gave a chilling portrayal as the wicked head nurse with minimum facial expression, in a way that I never imagined reading the book. I cried at the end both times.
I later found out that the author Ken Keysey in the early 60's had volunteered at a mental hospital when they were experimenting with LSD. When he tried tell the psychiatrist about what he was perceiving in an altered state of consciousness, the doctors ignored him and wrote off what he was trying to say as hallucinations. During this time at the hospital he wrote "Cuckoo's nest" which became a best seller. Keysey went on to become the leader of a group called the "merry pranksters" who did mass LSD experiments that became a part of the sixties counter culture core. It is well documented in the book " The Electric Kool Aid Acid Test" by Tom Wolf. Allan Ginsburg,Jack Kerouac, Janis Joplin, Jerry Garcia, Timothy Leary are all in the thick of it. Now I am going off topic so....

Aaah this is scary and a bit embarrassing, I feel like I am on a couch with Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung both looking at me with x-ray vision. I think you guys are reading too much from my ramblings, as my name backstage implies, I am more comfortable behind the scenes than in the spotlight. Most of your speculation is somewhat right, but nothing is Black or White as YY's moniker suggests. Yes my family was in the performing arts and were into books, when my classmates were doing A/L's I was working full time and living with a woman. I did start studying film production when I was about 30, but had to give it up after one semester due to some family issues. I am a sort of "Jack of all trades but master of none" kind of guy. I can easily trick people into believing that I am a wise guy as I have had the privilege of hanging out with real wise guys, as in here too. I love movies but I feel that theater is the higher art. Though I appreciate and indulge a bit in art, It does not excite me as it used to, as I am now convinced that the liberation of humanity is within ones self, hence my focus is inwards. A lot of my knowledge on art and music is dated , as I gave up trying to be upto date about 15 years ago. That is more than enough about me, I am starting to feel a bit naked.| කිත්සිරි ද සිල්වා (9679) |
