The French theorist Jean Baudrillard writes in his essay "Agony of the Real" that prisons serve above all to deceive us about the fact that we all also live in just one big prison. Isn't that also a lesson that Miloš Forman's classic "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" teaches us? The film with Jack Nicholson in his parade role is still relevant, but it should be reinterpreted. Those who see in the asylum only the old disciplinary society subversively questioned by a free spirit miss the real core of the tragicomedy. More on this by Wolfgang M. Schmitt in the film analysis.
