ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO’S NEST by Ken Kesey is, “A classic book that has left an indelible mark on the literature of our time” according to its back cover. A statement like that put this book on my list of books to read at some point, and this seemed like the perfect time to do so.

The scene that I chose to analyse is one of the most captivating scenes in Australian director, Peter Weir’s, The Truman Show. Through effective acting, camera techniques, sounds, lighting and careful mise en scène, the scene informally named, “Do Something” is a critical segment in the movie. The scene shows Truman Burbank (Jim Carrey) completely lose his sanity in front of his wife, a moment that the previous tension built up for.
