Although this film was not as accurate as we thought when it came to the interpretation of the original text, it did contain a colourful cast with exceptional acting skills; thus beautifully portraying the characters from the film. Acting is one of the few elements that we analyze very thoroughly because how well a person acts reflects on how well they portray their character. Forman made the right move when he casted John Nicholson as the protagonist of the story, Randle McMurphy. Nicholson clearly demonstrates perfection when it comes to acting but in this film, he took it to a whole other level. Who knew that he had more in store for us. For the most part, Forman has done his job in using his characters to convey the theme of conformity
