Its not about luke fighting a man bigger than him. Its about the common man fighting the battles in life and getting back up. Each knock down is harder for him to get back up but he does it anyway. You have to have drive and a willingness to want to succede. Luke wasnt fighting him he was fighting LIFE.
@dreamkasts Exactly! When I was going through a depression a little while back, I must have watched this scene about a thousand times. It gave me strength. I saw him get back up and keep fighting this opponent that seemed so much bigger and stronger than him, and it made me want to get back up and keep fighting. Dragline IS life. It'll knock you down, but the only thing that can really keep you down is yourself.
@RichardElden I tend to disagree with you, Newman had all the right moves down to the smiles. He was by far a better dramatic actor, McQueen was good but as a smart ass, both were great actors but Newman was Oscar worthy everytime he stepped inside the camera. Hey, each his own you got your views and I got mine and if you read the other comments you will see Paul was a master, ciao, Jimmy
I guess it isn't fair to complain about youtube since we get all this great stuff for free. But sometimes the every 20 second interruption while it gives us the circular pattern is really annoying.
You can't break a man unless he gives you permission to..... gotta love Luke. NO sense tryin to break a man's body cause his spirit's just too strong to bend. Timeless classic no doubt.
LIFE with eddie murphy and martin lawrence had many similarities to this film. i am sure that this classic provided alot of inspiration. this is definitely one of my all time favorites.

can i remind u all that this was onli a film not real life but may i add one of the best movies made this and grantorino fighting for number one in my book
My favorite film and this is the best part of the film, newman wins the fight from just not giving in, he throws the last punch and george kennedy carries him off. total classic film moment. A REAL STAR,, SHINE ON.

it's the moment in the movie when the bosses realize that luke would probably never get his "rabbit" spirit broken if it ever gets remade Clooney should be in it
Not even the bosses made an attempt to stop it. Buy of course, they're sadistic and were probably enjoying it anyway.
If these two would have been weight classed, George Kennedy would have been an overweight heavyweight. Newman would have been more like a light middleweight. I say that because, while on a small frame, he was of average height.
He does give a fuck, that's why he keeps getting up.
