The scene which I chose from One flew over the Cuckoo's nest is when Nurse Ratched arrives next morning and finds everyone in a disaster. However she unexpectedly finds Billy locked in a room with a prostitute. She feels disappointed and amazed of Billy.
The director has created particular feelings in this specific scene because we can see at first how Billy comes out of the seclusion room full of energy, happiness and confidence. He projects a big smile on his face the moment he comes out. When Nurse Ratched starts asking him questions it is the first time he does not stutter. He feels like if he has done a heroic act because everyone claps and cheers him. Then everyone steps into silence and Miss Ratched looks at Billy with an intimidating look. When he is asked to confess everything, Billy timidly looks for help from his friends specially Mc Murphy which gives him confidence but he finds he has to answer alone. At that point Billy starts to make knots to himself and doesn't know how to answer.
The Director creates tension by focusing in Miss Ratched's unemotional, dry expression. She uses a sarcastic tone. For example "what worries me is..." this is pure sarcasm because she is not worried at all of what would happen to Billy. She just wants to make him feel bad and ashamed of himself. The minute Nurse Ratched tells Billy she will tell her mother Billy's smile changes in seconds into anxiety and frustration. It shows how powerful just a simple comment Miss Ratched says can affect the emotions the patients feel. The silence the director decides to make there makes the audience nervous as well.
Billy's hesitation also creates a big impact on how the audience feels that moment. It puts you in a position where you don't know what to do and makes you want to help Billy immediately. The shot into Mc Murphy's face also makes us see how much he hates Nurse Ratched and how Mc Murphy does not know how to solve the conflict and makes him feel guilty as well because he was the one that had the idea. Billy does not know how to answer Miss Ratched's arguments backwards. He fidgets with his arms and legs not knowing what to say. He finds himself troubled and forced to confess Mc Murphy was the one who obligated him to do that. The shot of everyones astonished face creates a tense atmosphere. Also a very important action is when Billy begs in his knees, this gives Nurse Ratched the position of superiorness and power.
Finally we can see how Nurse Ratched can change the way people feel just by looking at how confident Billy comes out of the room and the way he has to be removed. He turned into a complete crazy and animal. That is how Miss Ratched does, instead of bringing this mentally ill people comfort and love she makes them suffer even more. Overall Miss Ratched should be the one in a hospital because she is evil and selfish. I think that by making her patients suffer it brings her happiness. She has not got love in her heart and that is why she isn't able to offer. She is like an empty barrel.
