Luke as a Representation of Rebirth in “Cool Hand Luke”
Number of pages:
5
ABSTRACT:
This 5
page report discusses the religious symbolism and the
relationships in the 1967 movie “Cool Hand Luke” starring Paul
Newman and George Kennedy, directed by Stuart Rosenberg.
Throughout the movie, the audience understands how an apparently
average man can find himself in the midst of a situation in which
his personal power and control is completely denied. When that
happens, people are drawn to a character through a strange
combination of admiration, envy, and irritation. The group then
defines itself through its understanding and appreciation of
Luke. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
