The plot sony ericsson centers on an individual who has been accused of rape on several occasions with which on the bottom of his apparent mental imbalance he will be evaluated to be admitted to a Psychiatric Medical center scam a purpose about wanting to evade a prison. He thinks that it would be better to be in this medical center than in jail.

However, there is no worse prison than the one where I learned limit your ability to climb. Randall McMurphy has been a character played by Jack Nicholson with his contagious sense of anarchy that will put the routine of the place at risk by giving patients the air of hope or freedom “.

In this course on his stay McMurphy be a causing over several episodes on which ze face ‘s established power over the medical center.

The work is a strong denunciation of the model of a care for patients with mental illness; since they are trapped and cannot get out of the amount of drugs that are supplied, and if they are altered they are taken to the electroshock room as the only way to bend them.

It is for this reason , which in the blog Psychopathology and cinema expresses the following to us: I consider that the film is a call to reflection, since it shows us that human side of the psychiatric patient who, although he has problems, is still a person, continues to dream, continues living; Well, many times in the practice of medicine we forget this and we limit ourselves to treating illnesses regardless of people’s well-being and what happiness is for them.

In addition, it invites us to remember that more Beyond the development of science, it is important to consider ethics and respect for human dignity, and to recognize the point from which we stop serving people to serve science, as has happened in the history of Medicine, especially when talking about procedures such as the lobotome.

Which perhaps could never happen.

Excellent film for people who like a drama at the highest level.
