Movie “Cool Hand Luke”

 Movie “Cool Hand Luke” (1967) directed by Stuart Rosenberg

This movie is very good, with a great performance by Paul Newman. The film leaves, at least in my case, a sense of insecurity or injustice due to how well-acted it is. Furthermore, even though it is set in a different era, one cannot help but watch it through the lens of modern principles, which creates the feeling I mentioned. The contrast between right and wrong, legal and illegal, just and unjust runs throughout the film, building a sense of solidarity with the character. A great choice to enjoy classic cinema or for those who have never seen it to watch it for the first time.
