A modern take on a title sequence for the 70s film One Flew over the

Cuckoos Nest. Our main character Randall McMurphy brings a freedom and sense of rebellion to the mental hospital. He does not belong there but has faked mental illness in hopes that the mental ward will be a peaceful respite from prison, and thinks that he is able to leave whenever he likes. The longer he stays the more he sinks into insanity as he learns that the nurses are keeping him there indefinitely. The sequence uses a disillusion, comparing an ocean to a toy pool. The ocean is vast, free, and open. This reality shift to a toy pool symbolizes this sense of suffocation and entrapment that the mental hospital has. The use of depth of field and blurriness represents McMurphys slow descent into madness, seeing things less clear.
