It's been a while since I've seen the movie, but I do not "revere" the Captain. The prisons in the 50s were a lot harsher then they needed to be, and I do not advocate going back to that. I, however, do think Luke was a stupid idiot who caused his own hardships. I think he is also a good metaphor for people making a relatively small infraction worse whether their name is Michael Grown, Deven Guilford or our unnamed Rag Doll.If you are unable to empathize with Newman's character, and actually revere Martin's character, then I can see why you tend to respond to these issues in the way that you do. ...
Interesting you call her a rag doll. Rag dolls don't resist, they are passive. So thanks for acknowledging that the girl was not resisting and therefore didn't deserve being tossed about the classroom.
