分析《飞跃疯人院》中的麦克.墨非

摘要

电影《飞越疯人院》是美国作家肯••••凯西的小说改编而成的。

电影讲述的是主人公麦克•墨菲带领病人们积极反抗的故事。

本文通过该电影的社会背景以及剧情简介来分析墨菲的善良、勇敢和反抗精神。

同时揭露了精神病人们受到一大护士为首的“正常人”以及各种荒谬规则的束缚和压制。

所有的分析都是在为了引出作者的观点，电影的结尾并非是一个以麦克·墨菲的死亡而结束的一个悲剧，而是鼓励更多病人勇敢的追求自由，当我们面对不公正的待遇的时候，我们应该打破常规去为了我们自己的权利而抗争。

也许大多数的我们并不能都成为像麦克·墨菲那样的英雄，但是我们都应该选择我们自己的方式生活。
