Getting Your Mind Right

[@markthomas9273]

To this day.... one of the best movies ever made. The acting was incredible!!!!

[@markthomas9273]

One incredible movie!!! Every person in the cast deserved an award!!!

[@bushbasher85]

I always hated how the inmates turned on him. Any of these guys would’ve been broken at this point.

[@benfisher1376]

But the whole point of the story is that he is a symbol of hope and defiance for them to live vicariously through.

[@10tepeyac]

The boss’s voice is the scariest thing about him. Someone that vicious and dangerous and then speaking so sparsely and so quietly makes him appear like a predator who’s counting the seconds to when he’ll kill his prey. Every word weighs a ton.

[@jeffreywright2294]

One of the most awesome movies ever made

[@lotatude]

“You try to run again we’re gonna kill you…” I guess he thought they were bluffing

[@miamitten1123]

No, he just didn’t care.

[@lotatude]

@@miamitten1123 yep and it was probably from PTSD (my opinion). The only time you see the American flag (as far as I know) is in the beginning when the warden is saying “says here you did pretty good in the war (WWII no doubt) Silver Star, Bronze Star, couple of Purple Heart’s” he remains expressionless; meant nothing to him as that flag waves behind him.

[@RobertoLopez-123]

Nah. Mr.Jackson just couldn't or wouldn't get his mind right.

[@Cyrus-3D]

When Tramp stops playing the guitar half way through 1 of the many songs in his arsenal, something is definitely wrong. They could all tell that the guards finally broke Luke.

[@realazduffman]

Wouldn't have had come to this had he not left his dirt in Boss Keane's ditch

[@tyrese3745]

Oh, come off it. It is just a movie! It ain't real! Besides, they were torturing poor Luke and kept at it.

[@krampus7520]

The inmates turned on him because he was their unbreakable hero up until that point, he wouldn’t go down under anything before. Seeing that made them lose faith in him because they sort of stopped seeing him as a real human being at that point. (hence all the prior christ imagery) it ain’t right but that’s why (in my opinion)

[@XJarhead360]

Although this is a movie it depicts that everyone has a breaking point. Ask any POW. The only individual who did not break was DEA Agent Enrique Camarena who was tortured for 3 days and never gave his drug captors any information before he died.

[@cokekola8477]

2027850 there could’ve been plenty of POWs that didn’t give up information. And like Kiki, they probably ended up dead. And I’m pretty sure Enrique did give up information and that’s why they had several recorded tapes.

That scene was the whole point of the movie.... never mind. Just wasting my breath, based on the wealth of info provided by your image, name and comment. Enjoy your obviously easy life.

[@dinomyte0899]

@@billianddarbis3582 why make so many assumptions? We're not even sure why he said what he said? Trying to understand why this scene would ruin the film for some (though not for me), I think that ultimately when he does run away at the end and chalks it up to, they broke me... i dont plan anything, we, the viewer,dont really believe it. The whole film we see him as a triumphant hero, beat and hurt but never submitting. Finally, we think , he has. He seeks God. Only for him to run away, what 2-4 scenes later?

[@PunkSlapper123]

Luke wasn't invincible. He was human. A human being can only take so much. The threat of being killed wasn't enough to stop Luke from trying to escape again.
