I watched a movie "Cool Hand Luke". This movie's story is about a man who breaks out of prison several times. The main character is Luke Jackson. He was arrested for being drunk and destroying parking meters, so he is sent to jail. While he does a stretch in prison, he gets along with a gang of convicts. He challenged a lot of things. First, he challenged Dragline who is serving a sentence in a prison to a fight with. Dragline was very surprised because Luke has never gave up. He likes Luke very much. Luke is very good at poker. He always wins even when he had bad cards. I thought he knows how to play and win at poker. Also, he is the life and soul of the convicts. He can show the convicts to finish their work early, and give them free time in the afternoon. He was liked by everyone. He breaks out of prison for the first time when he heard that his mother has died. He was caught, but he escapes again. Everyone who was in the prison camp thought he is a man with a lot of guts and they don't have such a spirit. I think Luke is a symbol of hope. They are envious of him.
The scene that left an impression on me is when Luke ate 50 boiled eggs scene. He has to eat 50 boiled eggs because he makes a bet. He could eat all boiled eggs thanks to Dragline. After that, he lied down on the table. I think he looked like Jesus Christ. He didn't believe in God, but he looked like Jesus Christ. I thought this is an irony. Also, he went to church and prayed on his knees when he has been on the run. He prayed even he didn't believe in God. I think he turns to God only in trouble.
