Review of Cool Hand Luke (1967) by Randy P — 04 Jan 2009
***Spoiler Alert*** Everybody who thinks that bucking the system is cool needs to watch this film, for two reasons. First, no matter how cool you are, Paul Newman is cooler. Second, I think a lot of people fail to see the consequences Luke faces because of his decision to not go along.
Does it make him any less honorable? No. But, in the end what has he accomplished? He's gotten himself martyred of course, but what comes of it? A few stories of fleeting hope shared by the remaining prisoners, and an unintentional strengthening of the wardens' control.
Was it worth it? That's only for Luke to know.
