In the opening scene of the film, Rosenberg depicts Luke destroying the city’s parking meters. The parking meters are a metaphor of society’s rules and restrictions. Rosenberg communicates how society tries to clamp down on individuals and make individuals conform to rules and regulations. Luke removing the tops of the meters is a metaphor for Jesus Christ.
