When we finished watching the movies, Cool Hand Luke and One Flew Over the Cuckoo Nest i realized how incredibly similar the charecters Luke and McMurphy were. They are basically the same charecter. Looking at both main characters Luke and McMurphy are both leaders. Luke's 'group' that he 'leads' are the prisoners and McMurphy's are the patients at the ard. In both the ward and the prison, the men look up to Luke and McMurhpy for help and leadership. They look up to them, almost as hero figures. McMurphy and Luke are constantly trying to fight against those with higher power and always trying to switch the rules to their liking. They are constantly acting rebellious and doing as they please, this also shows they're 'manly' side. Just like McMurphy, Luke tries to escape the place he was forced in. The difference between McMurphy and Luke is that McMurphy fights for the patients freedom and manhood and Luke does not really do that or show that in the movie. In the movie, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, the Big Nurse is like the Boss in Cool Hand Luke. They both have significant power over the other man but the men still fight them and try to escape.
