One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest- Forman Vs. Kesey

"Foreman's film version dilutes Kesey's meaning, but makes the text much more accessible" This phrase rings very true when concerning both Milos Forman's film version and Ken Kesey's novel, "One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest." Both portray basically the same ideals, meaning and storyline, but are presented from two very differing perspectives. I believe that the narration of the story is the foundation of the quote above, and I think it affects both the accessibility …

…'Combine' reflects everything that Kesey was against. And, in saying this, I do not believe that Forman's film is nearly as powerful as Kesey's original novel due to the fact that the 'Combine' doesn't feature as a central theme. However, I do believe that the film is more accessible for people who are not willing to put in the hard yards reading the somewhat-perplexing novel. <Tab/><Tab/>
