"Papillon" is an excellent feature film. The filming technique of director Franklin Sfanner is rough and fine. He made a story of escape from prison. It is true and touching. While showing the strong will of mankind to survive, the film also shows the precious friendship in adversity. The excellent acting skills of the two leading actors Steve McQueen and Dustin Hoffman made the film a classic in prison films. In addition, the color combination of the film is also excellent, the saturation and richness are perfect, and the soundtrack is also quite beautiful
.
"Papillon" is slow and sometimes boring. It plunges the audience into the horror of the French exile. It also leaves them with hope-the possibility of escape, but more importantly, in the worst. The ability to create meaningful bonds under conditions.
"Papillon" is an escapist film related to escape. It is a large-scale adventure escape. This escape is deeply imprinted with Hollywood marks. Although it has excellent performances, gorgeous photography, and exciting passion, at the same time, it deletes some of the qualities of traditional action movies and carries the defects of modern action movies. The 150-minute film, the wrong ending, and mind-numbing repetitions, all of these are the ancestors of action movies pretending to be amazing, which makes the film a greater disappointment from mediocrity.
