雅思阅读电影：飞越疯人院

　　英文介绍：

　　Randle Patrick McMurphy , a criminal who has been sentenced to a fairly short prison term, decides to have himself declared insane so hell be transferred to a mental institution, where he expects to serve the rest of his term in comfort and luxury.

　　His ward in the mental institution is run by an unyielding tyrant, Nurse Ratched , who has cowed the patients, most of whom are there by choice, into dejected institutionalized submission. McMurphy becomes ensnared in a number of power games with Nurse Ratched for the hearts and minds of the patients. All the time, however, the question is just how sane any of the players in the ward actually are.

　　Throughout his short stay at the hospital, McMurphy forms deep friendships with two of his fellow patients: Billy Bibbit , a suicidal, stuttering manchild whom Ratched has humiliated and dominated into a quivering mess; and Chief Bromden , a 65 muscular Native American who has schizophrenia. Recognized by the patients in the ward as deaf, and unable to speak, they ignore him but also respect him for his enormous size. In the former, McMurphy sees a younger brother figure whom he wants to teach to have fun, while the latter is his only real confidant, as they both understand what it is like to be treated into submission.

　　McMurphy initially insults Chief when he enters the ward, but attempts to use his size as an advantage . Later, both are suspended, along with patient Charlie Cheswick , for being involved in a fight with the male nurses, and are sent to a detention area. Cheswick is sent first to undergo shock therapy, while McMurphy and Chief wait on the bench. During this time, McMurphy offers Chief a piece of gum, and Chief verbally thanks him. A surprised McMurphy realizes that Chief can speak and has actually been faking his situation at the ward the whole time. This leads McMurphy to allow Chief in on his escape plan because of his hidden wisdom. Ending this scene, a more defiant McMurphy emerges from the detention area to an awaiting Nurse Ratched.
