Religious Symbolism in Cool Hand Luke
I was aware that there was some religious symbolism in the movie, but after looking at this website, I was amazed to see how much more there actually was. The site is a blog, so it's not the most reliable source in the world, but it has some indisputable points that it raises. I think this is really good review for the test, if you want to write about the religious aspects in the movie and book. Even if you don't write about it, I feel like this is really interesting. It makes me think about the other movies we watched and if there was any symbolism that we missed while watching those movies. Why do you think they went out of their way to put so many references in this movie? Are there any more references that in the movie?

I was really confused about the religious symbolism in the story, i tried to keep my eye out for it but i didn't see much. The only one i really understood was the one when Luke ate all those eggs and was full and laid out on the table. I guess he was suppose to look like Jesus.
