This movie was infuriating, but also amazing. I havent read the book but I have heard that it is much more serious compared to the movie. however, even though the movie is very light hearted at times, the ending is very intense. its almost harder to watch because compared to the rest of the movie, when billy dies and how mcmurphy ends up, is very hard to watch and intense.
The worst part about the whole thing is the the reality of it all. The movie, and the ending in general really captures the dillusion of this time period. Nurse ratched single handedly causes billy's suicide and she believed she was helping him.
I agree. The movie was great, and I thought most of the movie was fun and entertaining... but it was because of this that the ending was so upsetting. For a moment, all the inmates are having fun, and the next day, Billy kills himself and RP becomes a vegetable. It's so hard to watch, because you were happy for them, enjoying watching them, and suddenly, that character is gone.
