did you know he actually did real life shock treatment for that scene to identify with his character & those institutionalized?? dedication. respect.
the dynamic between chief & mcmurphy is amazing.
mcmurphy is the embodiment of the id, all natural animal & human insticts.
mcmurphy brings life and hope to chief, who's life has been shattered by the destruction of his land, he choosed to be mute to isolate himself from the world.
mcmurphy saved his soul by bringing life back into his cold corpse of existence.
when mcmurphy is forced to get a lobotomy, he becomes a vegetable, the opposite of his very being!!
to me having no emotions and no creativity would be worse than death, the feeling is mutual with mcmurphy. maybe with everyone.
chief sees his friend laying on a hospital bead like a piece of lunch meat. Mcmurphy is gone, his spirit is trapped in his body unable to ever be able to connect to himself or the world ever again.
fuck that would suck ballZ
chief suffocates him and mcmurphy dies.
at first your reaction is purely horrifying
1st degree murder?? controversial.
i dont think so. i see it like having a loved one in a coma, and if the slight chance they do come out of it but they will be a veggieman forever, you'd be faced with the decision of pulling the plug or not.
if it were me i would want my family and friends to say their goodbyes & pull the plug.
i would rather be free then be in a cage.
thats exactly what chief does, he frees his friend mcmurphy from a terrible fate.
chief then breaks out of the hospital & goes back into the forest to his native american roots.
