English 12 One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest When R.P. McMurphy started to show signs of leadership amongst the patients, Nurse Ratched started to become jealous of his position with the patients. I am going to compare Dale Wesserman's play "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" to the movie directed by Milos Forman, of the same title. The play is similar to the movie in many ways. The battle between R.P. McMurphy and Nurse …showed first 75 words of 1178 total…

…showed last 75 words of 1178 total…the play because everybody is awake and get to see the chief put the console through the window. I like the movie version because McMurphy is the only one that knows the chief can talk and it remains that way at the end. I also think it kind of makes McMurphy more of the hero in the end because it's more him saving the chief and getting back at the nurse in his own way.
