One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest - Final Scene - Re-Scored 

Never loved an actress as much and at the same time wanted her character to die on film. R.I.P. Louise Fletcher!!❤

And she was a real charming, nice woman in real life. Totally opposite of this role.

Agree.

Truly sublime by Louise Fletcher & Control freak nailed.

A very talanted and beautiful actress

So agree - she should have at least called for a moment of silence in memory of Billy and had them talk out their feelings. Of course you have to have a soul to be able to do that which she didn't. This was the straw that broke the camel's back for Mc Murphy which is why he started strangling her. The other patients were either in shock or fed up with her so they didn't intervene. I think the orderlies might not have cared for her either since it took a few moments before they intervened, allowing him to almost kill her.

Yes! It's a general disrespect, like "WE Always did it like that"

Have been to a psych hosp. not in the 70's. In the 20's. Well, I wasn't there when it happened but what has become a good friend of mine since our time in the hospital told me, when he was first hospitalzed, there was that girl, really underwheighted, she nedded a machine so she could breathe : her room was the one next to the nursing office : if something went wrong, if the girl rang the alarm, the nurses could be there quickly. Well, one afternoon something went wrong, my friend told me about it, however I don't believe everything he said since he was not in the room. All I can say is that when everybody realized she was not there at the 4 p.m meeting, a nurse went to see if she had maybe felt asleep (was not extraordinary 'cause of meds and the forced time we had to spend in bed, without doung anything, not even reading, after lunch). So... the nurse entered the room. The girl was cold. Mask off. Best explanation is that she struggled, tried to take off her mask for whatever reason... tried to ring the alarm but couldn't for whatever reasons (weakness, panic, difficult to access, apparently she was found tangled in machine's cables ). My friend told me she shouted but the nurses did not hear sincr there was this HUGE reunion with every nurse, docs and so on... He told me he had heard her muffled scream. Idk if I believe that, probably fakd memory due to trauma ? Is that a thing ? All this to say that my friend told me "man... every nurse, one by one, went to the room. They whispered between them. Their pupils were trembling. All the patients knew something went wrong. After couple of minutes one of the nurse came back. She said (girl name] was found in a state of death (or some medical term like that). She told everybody to stay calm, eat the snack and go on with the routine and that they would brinf them news asap" Once again I was not there. Idk if everything he told me was the truth. All I know is that I believe what I've just shared, and that the next patient to be in that room, next to nurse office was me. It is not the 70's, nurses are cool (most of them) but it is cold. Fucking cold. Fucking violent despite the apparent lack of action... Excuse my english, not native speaker.

Exactly!! How the hell we supposed to go on with our day and someone killed themselves?? One of my favorite movies 🎥 ❤❤❤

Even if he escaped now the police would have caught him. The perfect opportunity was during the night before anyone knew.

Billy killed himself, there's no revenge

@@Fadem12forReal he killed himself because the nurse was going to tell his mother about him sleeping with that woman. It was her fault.

@@Fadem12forReal she drove him to suicide knowing his mental situation. It’s almost the same as murder. Like holding a gun to someone’s head and saying do you want me to pull the trigger or you? In the mental part of the film is the same as murder.

Ratched, I hate you.

A VERY brave and ethical psychiatrist risked his entire career to put an end to the barbaric practice of shock therapy and lobotomies. Many of the so-called doctors and nurses in this field of medicine were evil greedy b@stards. He deserves a medal. His name is Dr. Peter Breggin. He has written several books. He also has a website.

Do you mean no film in the last 50 is better?

@@Mr.GoodkatI thought that was pretty obvious

@@Mr.Goodkat actually, nobody sees the film just the light that passes through it

@@rodneymacomber6337 Tell that to the projectionist!

@@Mr.Goodkat define the word projection and I’m correct

She's actually ranked #5 of the AFI's 100 Heroes and Villains!

He should have fought the guard.

@@dandavis8300 He was going to until the nurse screamed. He put the keys on the window ledge, made a fist, the guard looked at his fist and then the nurse screamed.

That’s not hatred, that’s fury.

​@@KenMasters. Exactly. He had enough of Ratched's bullshit.

He knew the consequences of his actions, which is why he wanted justice for Billy.

It rage

3:13 - and fear and dread in Ratched's eyes.

She wasn't crazy, she was evil.

Brad was 100% robbed, what a phenomenal performance

Common buddy, you know the way Hollywood/Academy works. It's not all about best performance now is it?

@@paulherlihy9290 Absolutely right, Paul. For a start, Will Smith should have received the award for the "most recent gobshite to fall from favour in Hollywood".

Burns was part of the smallhats club.

I totally agree. Brad has always been a superb character actor.

So true!

And hard to believe he played Grima Wormtongue in Lord of the rings

It was his first film role

Are u kidding it sounds exactly like chucky

I can't believe it too but it's all true.

didn't know he got an oscar nomination for this film

the WOMAN?

@@danilozivkovic7727 yes

@@danilozivkovic7727for best actress

​@@captainobvious2315she earned it, very convincing performance.

Nice cross over !

he didnt just attempt it my friends

Most definitely

One of, but certainly a banger.

This is why I prefer non-quiet theaters.

Damn you're old.

My mom always cheered that scene no joke

Me. I was cheering him on. Still cheering him on all these decades later.

@@jayyavid5363 In school 🏫 my sister said kids were screaming to have her killed. Can you imagine if David Greene did that to Mr Cleary in School Ties 👔

She reminds me of my EX

Me..and Christopher Lloyd.

I read it more like, "You rebel? Just see my power..."

Sociopaths always blame the ones they hate instead of finding their own errors.

The movie is very disturbing . Nurse Ratchet one of the most disturbing Nascisistic Sociopaths in any movie . I have seen them in my family

Damn you're old.

I wonder what I would do If I saw her…Probably Strangle her to Death.

Wasnt it lobotomy ?

​@majas4922 yes, it was.

@@nakedfreak1 shall I crawl into your psyche and pull out your deepest secrets you’d rather stay hidden? Come closer Clarice…🤡

Maybe wake up and be in reality for a second and see just how many people are getting tremendously hurt at the hands of psychiatry. It's made to control people not help them.

She was lobotomizing people. Mcmurphy was attempting a defensive and legal killing.

One flew east, one flew west, one flew over the coo coo nest.

This is the finale, before the epilogue.

@@AntonelloTosto I swear to God I remember the final scene being when Chief kills McMurphy and smashes the window and runs out? Am I crazy? I remember the drum music... Gradually fading as he runs away, then everything goes dark and the movie ends.

@@brilliant13675 that is the epilogue

@@AntonelloTosto but an epilogue comes at the end lol? I need to rewatch and see this for myself I'm so fucking confused right now lmao

@@brilliant13675 no your not crazy. That was.the true ending scene chief fleeing

Keeping everything running like clockwork - or so she thinks - is probably her obsession, and she doesn't like anything that interferes with that,

That was from "The Shining."

@@jamesroales2684 I know, I was making a reference! LOL

ESCAPES TO FREEDOM ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️

I composed the music!

Wow that makes it even more impressive. Bravo!@@AntonelloTosto

Yes, but Chief took matters into his own hands, saved his friend from a vegetable existence, and gave the ultimate fk you to Nurse R and the entire h-hole institution.
