Applause for changes only when they do not change us 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' is a highly-rated movie, and it deserves its credit. The story talks about a lawbreaker, McMurphy, who is moved to a mental institution. Although not actually mentally ill, he hopes to escape working in a labour camp. Long story short, he inspires and leads other patients to break the institution's rules and rebel the strict Nurse Ratched's order. It came as no surprise that most of the movie commenters praised McMurphy's actions, describing him as a man with a free will, and a symbol of anti-bureaucracy. It is true that his carefree and uninhibited characteristics are charming, which help his patient friends overcoming the obstacles in their minds. He is undoubtedly the hero in that building, but also he can only be a hero within that building. When McMurphy breaches the rules of the institution, we cheer and admire him. But when he violates the laws of society, we spit and despise him. Fragmenting hospital's windows is an unforgettable win. Breaking ours is an unforgivable sin. Our society has no room for a man that perpetually hankers after freedom. We pay our tributes to changemakers only when they are far away from us -- such as when they are in a movie. - Rephrase any sentence if you think they are not natural/ native enough. Cheers! - I wonder do I need to add 'to' before 'rebel the strict Nurse Ratched's order' in the first paragraph?
