Being Sane in an Insane World A look at One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest

... ” research and Ken Kesey’s novel turned into movie, “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,” the dividing line of who decides who is sane and insane is a thin one and a hard one to cross back over to. Through the boisterous, brawling, fun-loving rebel Randle Patrick McMurphy who walks into the world of a mental hospital and takes over, we start to question the issue of being sane in an insane world. ... In working in a setting where the majority of people there have been clinically diagnosed as not mentally competent, you sense that Nurse Ratched seems to see herself as more adept to life then the other insane patients she has to work with. ... She likes things to be her way and struggles to maintain the sane control she has while McMurphy uses his sheer aggressiveness and determination to just test the limits she has set out for the other ones. He never truly behaves insane. ... In the end, she ends up being the one who wins the game of control but not while showing the other patients her true being. ... Was he really insane? ... Chief goes to shower room takes the control panel and throws it into a window like McMurphy had talked about and runs off into the world, maybe to Canada, maybe to see his family.
