Lucky (2017) directed by John Carroll Lynch, follows a man nicknamed "Lucky" through his everyday life, until his declining old age threatens him with the idea of death. Throughout the film, the character is "thrust into a journey of self exploration, leading towards that which is so often unattainable: enlightenment." While watching this film, it is obvious that many objects have symbolic meanings that relate to the overall theme of embracing life.
In a way, this scene represents one of the most important aspects of actor Harry Dean Stanton's life. A friend that used to attend bars with Stanton said "He’ll tell ya, “You’re nothing.” Everybody would get mad, because they didn’t understand why he’d always be saying that. It’s his way of expressing that we’re all just individuals on the planet Earth—that you’re no bigger or better than anyone else." The people at the bar joke around with Howard because they think the tortoise is insignificant compared to them, but that is soley not the case.
