“Cool Hand Luke”
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses a number of the sociological aspects of group interaction and 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. Even in the first of circumstances, Luke maintains his cool and finds the humor in the most difficult of circumstances. The group then defines itself through its understanding and appreciation of Luke. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
