Comparison of Book and Movie of One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest :: Movie Film comparison compare contrast

Comparison of Book and Movie of One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest One Flew over the Cuckoos Nest is a book written by Ken Kesey to accomplish a certain mood within its chapters. The feelings and moods given in the book differ greatly from those in the movie because of multiple changes in character development. Each and every time a movie is produced from a book, the producers are forced to change parts of the story in order to fount the audiences needs for a faster paced plot. It is impossible to capture every mood or setting which the author creates. What is lost can sometimes be the in truth meaning behind the story. The characterization of chief Bromden is a good example of the changes made from book to movie. His past is a vital piece of information lend to the mood and discernment of the story. In the movie, Bromden is nothing more than a crazy Indian who doesnt want to talk so pretends to be deaf and dumb. Much of the understanding and respect is lost in the tran sition between book and movie. In the book, Bromden has flashbacks to his childhood, lighting on significant points in his childhood. His background is never even napped upon in the movie. Of course it would have been nearly impossible to tell of Bromdens life in a movie, much less show the world from his point of scene as in the book. Bromden is still a very interesting character but the real puzzle to his problems is lost. McMurphy is a very sly, cunning man. He knows how to solve his game and does it well. In the book as McMurphy progresses, he goes through many stages where he is rebellious, then docile, then rebellious again. This is due to the fact that he learns hardly what it means to be committed and what it takes to be released. Then he begins to see that all his ward mates (I dont know what you want to call them) are numbering on him so he becomes rebellious again. These reactions to his environments encourage McMurphy to be not crazy but intelligent and quic k. This is exactly the way a character such as McMurphy should act.
