Movie Review 2 Cool Hand Luke

The original of this movie is a novel. This novel is written by Donn Pearce. He has experience living in a prison. It is said that his experience at that time became the motif of this story.

The story’s hero is Luke Jackson. He was a soldier in the old days. One day, he breaks parking meter because he got drunk on liquor. He is charged with a crime of the instrument damage. He was ordered to undergo 2 year penal servitude at a prison of Florida. The prison was influenced by an air full of a feeling of hatred. The work of Luke was hard labor such as mowing and excavation under the hot weather, but he was shrewd. He took an impudent attitude unlike other new prisoners. He thought that he would not succumb to the rule of guards. His attitude won antipathy from the other people. Especially, Dragline did not like it. Dragline is a boss of the prisoners. They have a boxing match. As a result, Luke did not give up to Dragline and became a new boss.

After that, he finds out that his mother is died. He was surprised and shed tears. So he decided to break out of the prison. He did it three days later. He escaped earnestly, but he was caught. He did not give up. He breaks out of the prison again! He sends a letter to Dragline. Prisoners know it and feel envy towards Luke, but they were not angry with him. Luke was hope of prisoners, but he was caught again. He did not give up even it. He broke out of the prison again. He escaped with Dragline, but they break up on the way. They went ahead through another way. Luke went to a church and asked God what to do. Dragline appeared there. He had been chased by the police. He persuades Luke to come back to the prison, but a policeman appeared and shot Luke. He refused medical treatment and died.

I was surprised at tenaciousness of Luke. I think that he was very noble.

I transferred when I was in the fifth grade. I decided to join to chorus club because I like to sing a song. I was uneasy, but the club's members warmly welcomed me. I was very happy in it. I could meet precious friends.

Our club took part in a chorus meeting every summer. The rule is that a team sings two songs, assigned piece and free music. Dynamism was not enough in our song because there were few people in our club. We practiced a lot to be able to give loud voice.

We could not win, but we were satisfied by having been able to show a convincing performance.
