Cool Hand Luke

Introduction A journey is often more important than the destination you reach; a popular message that is represented in both the films Cool Hand Luke and Shawshank Redemption. Both of these movies focus on the themes of determination and self worth, even while being set in the bleak lives of prisoners in intense prisons with seemingly no hope. Still, these films create a sense of motivational drive in individuals and have even changed the lives of the people who view them. Furthermore, it is…

Cool Hand Luke is a 1967 film that portrays the experiences of a prisoner who refuses to adhere to the orders given to him in jail. This inmate Luke’s rebellious behaviour is in opposition with the general sense of conformity illustrated by the other prisoners. An individual can choose to conform and be obedient to authority, or to be non-compliant which can result in severe punishment. This paper will examine how conformity and obedience are strictly enforced and how non-conformity is punished…

I watched the "Cool hand Luke". When I watched this movie, I admired the rebellious spirit mind that Luke is a main character had. Especially, it is the scene where he breaks out of prison many times. He didn't lose the authority of prison guards and society. A web site says, "the parking meter of the beginning of the movie was a symbol of absurd authority." If you park on the road, it is the parking violation.

Psychology: Cool Hand Luke as Exemplar," Frank Barron employs a metaphorical comparison between religion and movies to claim that Cool Hand Luke is “about the Passion and Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ” (102). He substantiates his claim with in-depth mise-en- scène analysis, which does make Barron’s argument convincing, but to a certain extent. Barron highlights how Lucas Jackson’s figure movement and expressions symbolize that of Jesus Christ. For example, when he says “Luke is [seen]…

writes about the exhibit, ‘American Cool’, at the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery and its numerous examples of cool. She says, that it highlights the idea of Americanness “earned individuality” as opposed to inherited arrogance. Cool people know which rules can be broken for illegitimate and legitimate reasons. Research emphasizes that cool people break the rules, but the right rules (Winkler, 2014). In fact, there has been a new research that finds cool people break the rules, but only…

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. Similar to how Jesus broke the rules and customs of his society by not conforming to the high priests, Luke does the same by refusing to…

funny and they all laugh and even on the next day they were bringing it up and saying how funny it was. so If I act bad then they are going to think Nathan is being bad so it must be cool to be bad and that is not the kind of example I want to set so the kids in the younger grades I want them to know that they can be cool or funny and still follow the rules and that the rules are in place not to make the class more lame or boring but to make the class easier on us and on the teachers. So In the…

I cannot imagine that time has flown so fast. It seems like yesterday when I was first hired in summer quarter to be a Peer Mentor. I used to have a lot of imagination about what it would be, and how I would react with my mentees when I officially become a Peer Mentor. This is also my first time to be a Peer Mentor, so I got super excited. However, everything is not like what it seems. When I first received my cohort assignment email said that I would be a Peer Mentor for IESL level 1 and 2, I…
