One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest- Milos Forman- 1975
Genre- Drama
I like this films poster as it is so simplistic and also really represents the era t was made/ set in. I also like the font and the font colour used in the trailer and how it was over-layed over the shots rather than stopping and starting again. This is something I'd be interested in doing to stop the titles from distracting the audience.
It's main character is played by Jack Nicholson who is well known for playing characters with some sort of mental problem, like in the film 'The Shining'. I think that this must have drawn a large audience in for being familiar with the actor and also knowing what to expect from both the actor and director as Forman is well known for specialising in Dramas.
This film focuses on investigating the minds of the socially deemed 'mental' this is something I think that I would personally find really difficult to create a story line around without it somehow being interpreted as insulting as it's not a very easy topic to come to terms with.
