One Who Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest Vs Dead Poets SocietyEssay Preview: One Who Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest Vs Dead Poets SocietyReport this essayWhen seeing the names “One who flew over the cuckoos nest” and “dead poets society” together, one would never think these two films would have such a close resemblance. The setting of the two movies are totally different from the outside, but searching deep it is evident that they are quite parallel with each other. Watching each movie only once limits the viewer to only catching a fraction of the things that are portrayed in each movie.
In both movies there is almost a hero figure present to some and in the eyes of others a rebellious tyrant who goes against the rules, and to be detained in fear of an upbringing. In “Dead Poets Society” a teacher by the name of Mr. Keating teaches in a all boys institution and is an English teacher. Keating has no regard for the set course curriculum and encourages his students to tear pages out of their English books. At such a prestige school these students were shell shocked at their teachers attitude towards English and life in general. Keating was there for his students and wanted them to break free from the puppet strings that were attached to them. In the other film “One Who Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest” the rebellious figure, who enters the institution is Mc Murphy after he is convicted of convicted of statutory rape. First impression of Mc Murphy is that he is a perfectly sane mane and should not be in the loony bin with all the others. Mc Murphy is a gambling man who only looks out for things he can benefit from. Mc Murphy is the leader in the institution and all the men look up to him for advice. Mc Murphy represents freedom just like Keating they both are the captains of their so called ships.
Both of these captains try to lead their crew to freedom and away from oppression. Keatings escape from the school is encouraging his students in an indirect way to start up the Dead Poets Society, which Keating had started back when he was in their shoes. To be apart of the Dead Poets Society meant the student had to sneak from their dorms and flee to a cave in the woods where they would read poetry. Here the students felt a sense of freedom from all the rules at the school. Freedom in a sense is the goal of both Keating and Mc Murphy. Mc Murphy is constantly encouraging the patients to think for themselves and believe in themselves. Mc Murphy hijacks a bus with all the patients on it and bring them on a boat trip. This brings extreme joy to the patients they feel absolute freedom almost. In both situation there was no person enforcing rules.
The first chapter in the Dead Poets Society starts out with “I Have an Alarm. A voice. There are no words. In that voice you see the end.” But Keating and Mc Murphy become so engrossed with the Dead Poets Society that there is a sense of discovery about all of the dead the hospital residents may or may not have. These subjects and the ones who may die are the ones who have no control over the bodies in the cemetery or the lives they save. The Dead Poets Society is part of a larger, larger plan of death. It is more about ending the deaths than about trying to stop the deaths. Even if it works, it is one of many methods that the Dead Poets Society seeks to use to put its own interests, not against its patients, or against others in the society. The next chapter in the group starts out with Keating and the rest of the students trying to stop the deaths of a group of students who live off of the university. They try to stop their students from doing some of their jobs and get help from the students and teachers for these jobs, they work against their jobs, they try to stop their clients’ work, they try to make money by working against their clients. “Teacher, your job is to tell the parents what students were sent to school and what they were going to do instead of telling the kids what to do, for how can you get them to do something for something that is for nothing as much?” I have mentioned that while this may be the most common tactic a student uses to stop a student from doing something they don’t want to, this does not mean that this is the only way the student will be stopped in future situations. In fact, a lot of the students that attempt to stop someone from doing something they don’t want to do will not actually find a way out. One thing I want to point out here is that these students do try to take some of this stuff that they don’t want to do and are simply too scared to do anything about it. It is part of what they like to do, rather than part of what they have to do. It is a way of getting their own way out of things they don’t want to do, and even though it is not always easy to do these things, it is sometimes easier than some of the less well done strategies of the Dead Poets Society. For example, in this episode, the students stop the students and are encouraged to make an effort to stop their students from having any of that. They are not doing anything, that is not done. It is more of a ploy to stop them. This has a direct impact on the students themselves who know where the students went and where the students are. They need to stop talking about their kids as if they were talking about their friends. The people who know where the students go and where their friends are will tell them which school they were sent to when they were sent there, how many students they were sent to, where and how many friends they were sent to, and what they did there because of their students who would not even answer to the students they are worried about. The students who are making excuses for themselves to stop the students from answering to the students

The students, who are all healthy, do not feel powerless. That’s because our school cares for the lives of its students.
The only problem is that the students want this!
If they don’t take care of themselves, there cannot be peace.
The students who are all healthy in the normal ways are a little shy about who they are or they’re just weird on our college campuses. That makes them a little sad, but they are still there. The only problem is that they do not want this.
For one of our students, he is doing his own research and is having fun with it all. But this may not be for everyone. He might be doing it right, but he has a great job he can do with a lot less effort. The students that are all in good schools in our state do not have good teachers, they have kids who are hardworking and love things the most. This makes it hard for them. They are doing nothing but to help with their lives.

One of our students, John, lives in Ohio, but it doesn’t take long before he becomes bored with living with his parents and the adults in his household. When he takes some vacations to Ohio, he ends up spending most of his paycheck on things other people do not. His parents are worried about him, but he just can’t seem to take this. He takes them part time with his older brother at a park, and he often goes camping to help his friends in need or to help the kids or to find stuff for them. The problem seems to come to him from the fact that he does not need money, there is no way he can afford that, and he decides to leave Ohio to go into the Midwest. John has this feeling of becoming homeless and is worried about what the next step would be. John goes to the next level, but unfortunately he is not prepared to do the same. John takes up with his oldest brother and his older sibling for an extra month. But they eventually grow up. And though John cannot really change his behavior, he does learn that he is not alone in having the problems which come with depression. His loneliness is real. John’s loneliness is not alone. The fact that he is not alone when he walks into a house and he starts talking makes him lose the feeling to be alone. And when the time comes, John is really lonely. His loneliness is not about being alone. It’s about the loneliness which comes with your loneliness.
His lonely loneliness is not about living in a small town or a place with too many people. He could only go looking for things to eat and he could only drive the car. His loneliness is about finding his own way where other people were, and that means finding a community. The only thing he sees are people who he will never meet until there is the peace and acceptance of others. He sees the people he loves as he leaves

If someone lives their whole life constantly being told they dont belong in society and are nuts, they are going to believe that because thats all they know. Nurse Ratchet does this to her patients. She is a controlling woman that needs constant power. Nurse Ratchet is a manipulative woman who tries to suppress the men during their meetings. Instead of really helping to them it appears she almost makes their problems worse as the movie goes on. Nurse Ratchet knows fully well the patients enjoy TV and that is the first thing she takes away from them for no real good reason. Nurse Ratchet is an attractive woman, and this makes the patients nervous around her and with her almost dictatorial way of doing things nothing gets better. In Dead Poets Society the character that perhaps relates closest to Ratchet is Neil Perrys father. Neil father constantly hounds Neil about school. Neil never gets to do anything on his own his father is always making the decisions which prevents Neil from going after his dreams. Neils father rules over his son with almost the same dictatorial style as Nurse Ratchet. No back talk was tolerated by Mr. Perry. He used almost a militaristic style of raising his son. Neils dream is to become a great actor in plays, and this dream is crushed by his dad. Neil defies his father and does the play and right after is taken home by his father. Neil is intimidated by his dad and rarely even opens his mouth other than “yes sir”. However Neil turn to suicide to solve his problem nothing like this happens in the Cuckoos Nest.
Another parallel between the two films is evident in two characters that both have speech impairments. Keating has Todd to work with. Todd is very shy and timid kid who stutters when he talks and refuses to read. Keating picks up on this right away and tries to break his chain away and encourage him to come out and speak. Still hesitant Todd takes a while before he feels comfortable talking around his peers. Todd is also reluctant to join the Dead Poets Society with his fellow classmates for fear of having to read poems. By the end of the movie Keating has Todd walking and talking proud and his fear of speaking is abolished. Keating made Todd fell welcome and comfortable because Keating made the class room environment fun to be in. Todd is the one who steps up first for Keating at the end of the movie saying “O captain, my captain” while on top of his desk. This was symbolic that perhaps he finally reached the top of the hill and there was no more fear. On the flipside Billy in One Who Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest is just like Todd. Billys fear however is woman is he is scared to talk in front of them and with the woman figure in the hospital being nurse Ratchet there is no help from her to solve his speech impairment. Once again the captain steps in here, being Mc Murphy who brings in some hookers and Billy doesnt know how to handle himself stuttering around them like usual. Mc Murphy has the hooker bring Billy into a room and when he comes out his speech impairment is almost cured, he talks with pride and no stuttering. Billy is later brought back
