"Clips from the movie and a wonderful soundtrack combined..."
Chief Bromden explains what everyday at the asylum is like, a patient will pee himself, music will play in the background, and games will be set out. All patients will follow the schedule or else they get the needle or vegetated. One regular day, Bromden went back to a memory, when he went to a California cotton mill for basketball because their coach wanted to go there. Several black girls, teenagers, were working and staring at Bromden out of curiosity and even giggled. One of these girls approached Bromden and started some small talk. Bromden couldn't see the girl very well because of the fumes from the cotton machines. As they talked, the girl asked Bromden why he was wearing camouflage, he said he was wearing it because it was his duck hunting jacket. She grabbed him all of the sudden and stared into his eyes. He stared back, looking at her pretty face when she said that she wanted to get out of this place that wanted to run away from this life. Bromden stood there speechless and before he could answer, the girl went back to one of the machines so she wouldn't get yelled at. Once Mcmurphy arrived, he caused a stir among the patients and disrupts the order of things. Mcmurphy knows how screwed up the whole asylum is, it's like a fascist- runned prison. Nurse Ratched watches and runs everything. She thrives on the misery of her patients by having "sessions" where is demands that each of the patients openly discuss their uncomfortable "problems" so that can comment and "help" that patient. The patients act like childern and are treated as such, because Nurse Ratched wants it that way. She is unconsciously manipulative and doesn't like how Mcmurphy is not falling for this. During one of these meetings, one patient, Harding was asked by Nurse Ratched about how, because his wife was well endowed in the chest area, she attracted male attention which made extremely jealous and even made him feel inferior. She asked one of the patients if they wanted to touch upon the subject. McMurphy, being the smart ass he is, asks if he can touch upon Harding's wife's... well, you get the picture. With an truly evil, nasty stare, Nurse Ratched pulls out McMurphy's record and tells McMurphy's criminal record to everyone. Mcmurphy has done everything you can think of, and Nurse Ratched accentuated the word... rape. Mcmurphy was sent to prison for the billionth time and this time was sent for raping a 15 year old though he claims she said she was 17. The meeting ended. McMurphy approached Harding and asked him why he put up with that humiliation. He also said that Nurse Ratched was a ball busting buzzard and the biggest b*** he has ever met in his entire life...
