Cool Hand

Cool hand Luke was cool. Unlike our previous films the plot was not what drove the film it was Paul Newmans swaggerific preformance. I appriciated that Paul Newmans defiance was seen as sacraficial and christ like but I did not actually believe it. Every act of rebellion should have a greater purpose other then just being and annoyance to the gaurds. The rest of the inmates were unified because of Paul Newman rebellion but they were not united in action or for a cause so it almost seems like his sacrafice was without reason. The background of florida as the location of the prison camp lends to the feeling of oppression for the inmates. Overall I thought this was a good movie but I was not nearly as impressed as the previous two movies we watched.
