Seminar paper from the year 2004 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 1,0 (A), Ernst Moritz Arndt University of Greifswald (Institute for Anglistics/American Studies), language: English, abstract: The novel "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" by Ken Kesey is without a
doubt an outstanding example of American Literature. So it was obviously
necessary to make a movie out of the manuscript. Unfortunately, there are
some harsh differences between movie and book, which in some cases
change the original plot in a way that influences the viewer. Most of the
differences come out of the different narrative perspective of the film
because the story is just to ld objectively, while the book tells it from a
patient's point of view. But there are inexactnesses that change the
viewer's perspective towards the characters. The only fact "saving" the
movie is the choice of incredible actors. Jack Nicholson (McMurphy),
Louise Fletcher (Ms. Ratched), William Redfield (Harding), Will Sampson
(Chief Bromden) and Brad Dourif (Billy Bibbit) are only the main examples
for the unbelievable performance shown in this movie by all actors.
Although most of their characters are illustrated differently in the book, they
all did a great job.
Since my project is to compare the narrative perspective of the book to that
of the film my sources were the book1 and the DVD.2 Additionally I have
used several essays collected in "A casebook on Ken Kesey's One Flew
Over the Cuckoo's Nest" edited by George J. Searles3. This book was a
very valuable source for my work because the essays content lots of
information, interpretations, and views of various authors on many different
themes.
