Cool Hand Luke Review

Cool Hand Luke is the best movie we have watched so far. The story was great, veteran, winner of a purple heart basically an American hero gets put into jail for twisting the heads off of parking meters. He joins the chain gang and proves himself to the other inmates. Luke's story was inspiring for those who think they are in a bad situation to keep their chin up and keep on smiling. My favorite part of the movie was probably the fight with Dragline because that is where you really got a sense of who Luke is. He got punched down so many times, got a bloody nose and couldn't stand straight but he kept getting up, his never give up mentality made the audience respect him. I also, liked how Luke created a fun atmosphere for the other inmates. He liked to make bets, like the card game when he bet all of his money for a bad hand, that is how he got his name cool Hand Luke. Also the time he bet he could eat 58 eggs, it was gross but the inmates had fun for awhile and stopped thinking about their bad living conditions. I really liked this movie and it is going on my list of favorites. I was very sad at the end when Luke was shot, but Dragline punched that officer to the ground so that made me feel better that the officer got what he deserved.
