Cool Hand Luke

Cool Hand Luke was directed by Stuart Rosenburg in 1967. The starred actor in this film was Paul Newman who played the significant role of Luke Jackson. This film has been different from all the rest by many ways. This was the first in color film that we have watched and it was a prison/chain gang type film. The special effect of use of the color red reflected to show the love and negative imitations. The main factor that was reflected upon and definetly focused in upon on the use of the camera was Lukes smile. Lukes smile was reoccuring throughout the film, and showed the viewers that he was a fighter cause no matter what struggle that was thrown at him that he wasnt going to give up on a fight. I thought this film was very entertainging and had high remarks from its viewers. Another factor that was reflected upon in this film was the struggle of jesus christ which was shown through religous icongraphy and religous symbolism. The main strive and huge success factor towards this film was the stragety and picks of chosen actors to make up the roles in this film. The group of guys that were chosen, were greatly close and thrived off each others work efforts.Dragline was one of the characters in this storyline that really got to see who the real Luke was and they made a connection of friendship and trust that was felt through the camera . I think that that this movie could of been better by changing the story line a litte bit. I beleived that by viewing this movie, that Luke was a well respected man who should of been given another chance at life and not received the master punishment that he did. I felt a sudden change in emotion from the viewers as Luke got shot and killed.
