    FILM DESCRIPTION:
    When petty criminal Luke Jackson (Paul Newman) is sentenced to two years in a Florida prison farm, he doesn't play by the rules of either the sadistic warden (Strother Martin) or the yard's resident heavy, Dragline (George Kennedy), who ends up admiring the new guy's unbreakable will. Luke's bravado, even in the face of repeated stints in the prison's dreaded solitary confinement cell, "the box," make him a rebel hero to his fellow convicts and a thorn in the side of the prison officers.

    I always loved the scene between Luke and his mother. To me the undertones were sadness "you did this to yourself...you couldn't listen to anyone since you were shorter than my knee. You always thought you were smarter than everyone." But also she loved him more than her other kids precisely for that reason. She admired his independence of spirit. That her boy was supremely confident, but not malicious. And she was sad he was locked up, but also she was locked up. They were both locked up; she was dying and he was in prison.

      I loved Arletta. The scene when Luke receives the telegram about her passing really hit me hard. You saw it in her eyes when she left him for the last time that she knew they would never meet again. Truly an emotional roller coaster and a timeless masterpiece.

    • @jondstewart
      @jondstewart 2 роки тому

      Arletta and Luke were products of an environment in the Deep South that looked down and scoffed at people that were independent and nonjudgmental. They lived in it and just took it for what it was. Arletta realized Luke wasn’t traditional and wouldn’t marry or give her grandchildren. It made her sad, but she loved him unconditionally. Luke refused to bow down to the man and lived on his own terms. He won the respect of the alpha male leader Dragline just being himself and not holding grudges.

      Don't let people tell you how to understand this perfect piece of art. Personally, I think the whole film is a big metaphor for abandonment by a father figure. Luke is Jesus, abandoned by God, his real father abandoned him, the state, also a father figure, abandoned its children (the prisoners), but what's interesting is that without authority, without that fear of punishment, Luke managed to free the minds of the prisoners, and give them hope, if not real freedom. Your mental health issues are part of you. You can't physically be free of them. But you can free your mind from it. Maybe not always, maybe not for good, but there will be moments you are free. Like how Luke frees the prisoners, but waivers each time he's caught. But he's still there for them, until the end. Don't give up trying to better yourself. Be your own Luke

    GREAT movie & GREAT cast ! And Paul Newman had more style, class, and talent then ALL of today's so called Hollywood stars put together. He lived quietly in Westport Ct. with his wife Joanne Woodard since 1960, give or take a year, and the Newman's Own Brand (salad dressing, popcorn, spaghetti sauces, Fig Newman's, ) raised over 300 million plus so far for charity. EVERY DOLLAR in profit went to help the needs of others. And he started " The Hole in the Wall Camp for kids with terminal illness. He was the coolest.

      you completely do NOT get what that means. what it means is that there are a great many who's sentiments of life are that nothing's left up to grey, only black or white, and sometime black and blue. those who define life like that work in offices, have badges, kill other people. they see a right, and a wrong (black/white) they don't see moral ambiguity (grey)...and they fight like hell to keep it that way. every so often, there is someone you just can't beat into either right or wrong. they walk their own path refusing to sacrifice their morals just to fit in. in a world of round holes of all shapes and sizes, they're the square peg forever challenging what it means to truly live. that's Luke. he can't be broken....he's just Luke. not prisoner 23. Luke.
      Lightning McQueen is NOT Luke. Lightning is nothing more than the young kid that doesn't have the experience to see past tomorrow, and Doc knows what happens to people like that. Doc never tried to break Lightning, never tried to make Lightning anything more than the best of himself. the practical application of learning from mistakes. that's nurture. empathy. there is no empathy for those who define people as "failure to communicate"....failure to communicate what? communicate that there is the right way, the wrong way, black or white, never grey. empathy IS grey.

It sums up the problems we as humans have with each other, whether it be family problems, marital problems, work place problems, teacher/student problems, race relations, political problems, and like Luke, problems with authority. It’s just a great scene, I especially love Strother Martin’s uneasy, ambivalent yet truthful delivery of the line. Failure to communicate, yes that is the root of all problems. Oh, and also the fact that even though someone MAY be trying to communicate with another party, sometimes that other party cannot be reached, no matter how much effort is made. Some people you just can’t reach, ever.

      John, It’s not a failure to communicate. It’s a failure to capitulate to injustice. It’s a refusal to degrade his humanity. It’s why so many of us that degrade ourselves a little every day, so we can pay our bills, wish we could be more like Luke. Nobody respects the warden. They only fear him. Fear is not conducive to communication. Thats why his claim that it’s a failure to communicate is ironic.

      @@Muzikman127 Precisely. It has little to do with communication. Luke's unwillingness to capitulate is actually noble, even if it ultimately leads to his demise. His resistance is how change begins. The power of the film was in its depiction of simplistic, self-serving systems, particularly justice, which was both harsh and cruel, as well as utterly ineffectual.

      What do you mean for a 60’s film? The best performances of all films were in the 50’s, 60’s, 70’s.
