2. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

Tonight I watched a movie which is One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. In this movie Jack Nicholson is starring with the character R. P. McMurphy. There is a mental hospital and in this hospital there are many patients with different psychological problems. McMurphy, who fakes to be "nuts" gets shocked when he sees the way patients obey the hospital managment. In his mind he knows that the order in the hospital will not do any good for the patients and he starts an uprising. For example in the scene where he bets others that he can escape from the hospital he tries to show other patients that there is an other way. Although he fails in this attempt he leaves the scene with the words " At least I have tried..." As he tries to break the "daily routine" of patients he get some new enemies like nurse Ratched. Doctors and nurses try to "help" McMurphy to get in to the "routine". The question, which the audience should be asking at the end of the film "How can we claim that those who decide, who is normal and who is not, is "normal" indeed?

1. The Enormous Radio

Last week we read the text"The Enormous Radio" and I want to mention the important parts ( at least for me :)) of that text. The story is about Jim and Irene Wescot. The couple is interested in music. They like to listen radio too. Wescot family has an old radio and one day Jim promise to buy a new radio for Irene. However, the radio makes some disturbing noises, which are the sounds of their neighbours. Jim and Irene try to solve the problem with the radio but they can't achieve that. Irene follow the conversations. It seems funny but then Irene becomes depressed and start to questionized their marrige, future and money. This couple lives in an apartment in New York's East Side and wants to move in a house, which shows us "the American Dream". They want to own a house in the suburbs, they have two kids and the husband has a job... The husband, Jim, loves his family. But Jim and Irene don't share any thing except music! Jim is a naive person because he doesn't spend time with his wife and family. He finds a sollution for this by buying this radio but the new radio becomes a significant factor between their relationship!
