Movie to novel

The different narration between the movie and the novel makes the two very different. In the movie, it seems like Mcmurphy is the main character and we tend to see things through his perspective. While in the novel Chief Bromden is the main character or narrator of the story. We really only hear his thoughts and feelings from the novel because he is acting deaf so he can hear what is really going on in the ward. It would have been quite difficult to make the Chief the main character of the movie because he wouldn’t have been able to say anything. Just a simple change of narration really can change the story or the perspective of the story for the reader or the viewer (of the movie).
