Comparably to The story of Tom Brennan whereby the protagonist fails to adapt to his new paradigm due to immense social and emotional barriers, Norman Jewison’s biographical film The Hurricane demonstrates that coming in terms with inner fear and anxiety allows one to overcome the emotional barriers and enter into a new world that affords a greater self. The protagonist ‘Hurricane Carter’ is an infamous African-American boxer who faces a corrupt world of racial prejudice. He faces an unprecedented calamity of imprisonment due to false allegations of homicide. The close-up shots of his blood-teary eyes conveys an intense thirst for vengeance.
