Reflection Of Luke In The Film

Decent Essays
Luke played a role as the guy who was cool, calm, and collected at any moment this was why the director singled out Luke because he had a sense of power like the son of god Jesus Christ.Jesus got his disciples to follow him by his healing powers such as making the blind see again and made the deaf to hear. Since Luke had a sense of power and leadership the prisoners even followed Luke when they figured out that he had a sense of power. This is showed when the prisoners are working on the road pouring asphalt and he starts to work faster Dragline tells him to slow down but Luke is persistent on working faster. The others start to follow him and they got the road done faster because of Luke. This is connected to Luke being like Jesus when Jesus …show more content…

When Godfree the boss man got around the prisoners the music would change or the cameras would get a close up on his sunglasses none of the prisoners could look him in the eyes. This goes back around to His in the name god free no god was a representative to the devil he was the boss and decided to punish Luke.
After Luke runs away for the last time he runs with Dragline they were in the wood and he said that they had to slip up as they split up there was a clap of thunder and it was a sign to go to the church. He walked into the church and started to talk to God he told him to send him a sign and the cops showed up and Dragline came back. Luke opened the window and stuck his head out and started to talk and he got shot in the neck. And he was brought back out and Godfree say this must be a case of miscommunication. At the end of the movie Luke was going back to the prison and when they are driving on the rode the rode was shaped like a cross and the light on the traffic light turned from green to

Being the first live action TV show for a black superhero in the Marvel Universe, Netflix provided the platform for a resurgence in the interest of such an iconic and vital figure. It is not crazy to assume there was an intrinsic amount of pressure on the producers and cast to live up to fans and critics expectations and feedback.

    The Holocaust was a ghastly event that caused the mass genocide of the Jewish population under the Nazi Regime. The Nazis put the Jewish people into camps with abhorrent and gruesome living conditions, some of which seem to be places of inhospitality. Many died from acts of violence, starvation, illness, and many other horrors. The sights of rotting corpses, hanging bodies, and the malnourished is more than enough to leave a mental scar. The survivors of these concentration camps show that the physical pain did not stick with them, but it was the mental trauma that scarred their minds.…

    I was at Easter Seals Lilly Academy this week which consisted of three teachers. There was no occupational therapist or any other therapist at the facility. If a child needed therapy, they received it outside of the school. Sometimes the therapist will speak with the teachers and let them know what individual needs and skills the student is addressing in therapy and the teachers will incorporate that into the school as best as they can. Easter Seals School was a school for children with special needs and cognitive issues from 4-22 years old.…

    Luke Cage Definition

    Step in the Arena I suppose it was only a matter of time until we were presented with Luke’s origin story, but I appreciate the show’s forethought into giving it such a well-timed placement within the overall narrative. By waiting until now, Luke Cage avoided feeling too similar to many other superhero stories that can’t resist showing us a character’s history right away. Had it waited any longer, it could have run the risk of putting too much distance between the audience and the action happening in present day. Since nothing too epic has happened yet – ok, the explosion, but we all knew Luke would survive – this completely avoids that concern. In fact, the excitement of seeing Luke Cage become Luke Cage, actually manages to amp up the anticipation…

    Luke is struck with boredom for most of his deployment, causing him to believe the army didn’t do a thing for him and he would just go live his old boring life back at home. However, on the last day, Luke goes to the top of the hill by himself and thinks he sees an enemy. Luke decides to watch him through the scope of the gun, but as Luke becomes indecisive, he shoots and kills an unarmed man who is accompanied by his son. He wants to help the child move the unarmed man, but instead, shoots the child too, then goes down the hill and flies back home from his deployment as if nothing ever happened. When a person allows the pressure of satisfying others, boredom, and unpleasant memories to affect their decision-making, it can lead a person to disconnect from the reality of life.…

    In the film Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide, it has shown me how much young girls and women in worldwide are not getting the equal opportunities compared to men. As I was watching the film, many young girls are not getting educated due to their non-supportive environments where their family traditions are for women to be working for the family as they do not believe in women getting education, and as a girl they are to be married off to or sell their body to support family financially. Before I watched this film, I knew women in other countries did not get education because their family economic situations and unsupportive family for females in the household, but these ideas were just so normalized to…
