    7.5 Similar to the thinking about the death penalty, the abolition of the death penalty considers the issue of human rights, but here is the issue of human dignity. Obviously, according to the laws of some countries, breaking the law will deprive you of your civil rights. It also deprives you of your dignity as a human being. However, in such a situation, the authorities still hope that you can be a screw in society and want to transform you into a person who conforms to "social norms", and...

    The unruly teenager eventually grows into a learned and gentle old man, and this is also a lifetime. 147 minutes is not short, but the sense of substitution is still strong. The prison guards are very kind, and the life of raising birds in those years is not like going to...

    From a rude young man who was first imprisoned to an academic master at the end, the transformation of the male protagonist started from picking up the bird in the rain. The jailer's remarks about his character flaws were a strong push, and he devoted himself to researching birds and pharmaceuticals to bring his own benefits. Here comes hope and love. Burning the mother's photo is a big step towards spiritual freedom. Leaving the flock and transferring to Alcatraz is a final reconciliation with...

    A fairly mature biopic, which combines the fate of key characters with the times, so that the image of a bird breeder has changed from a bohemian to a thoughtful, without feeling cumbersome and procrastinating at all. Lancaster's acting has...

    Male protagonist! !...

    The protagonist should have grown up under the cultivation of a wealthy family and was a arrogant and aloof elite, but his words and deeds lacked mutual help, let alone gratitude. Even looking at the fact that the jailer made an exception to give him a bottle, it is easy to see that he is a very egoistic person, he does not adapt to the rules of mainstream society, and his temperament makes him almost never say thank you, including to him. Mother. There are many contrasts in the film. The male...

    Adapted from real events. At first, raising birds may have been a condiment for boring prison life. As the plot progressed, a voice of prisoners' rights protection surfaced. The story of the bird, and its repercussions, appears to be a public provocation of the current political prison system in the United States. The film adheres to a documentary-style bridge, refills and releases the core power of biography. Life imprisonment is also a life. Outside the prison, it seems to be a bigger...

    In addition to being neat and tidy, it still retains the ambiguity in connotation. It is difficult for us to summarize the main theme of the film with only one or two words. It probably shows the perception at the level of life. The film is very well done in all aspects, and there is only one point in the text that I feel needs to be re-explored. As an audience, I will be curious about the ending of characters other than the protagonist, such as mothers, inmates, such as birds. The biggest...

    The title of the film that I have read several times and can't read it well

    The movie "The Birdkeeper of Alcatraz" has been in my favorites for a long time, and I have never been interested in watching it. It is a prison movie, will it be a prison break story, and it is an old movie, black and white. But after watching it, I was deeply shocked, worthy of such a high....

    bird breeder in prison

    Let’s talk about birders and prisons:

    1. Birders

    1. Changes in character image
    Bob, who just came to prison, initially showed the image of a rebellious and very annoying young man. Things are always a righteous attitude. It is also an attitude of indifference to the friendliness of others, and even...

    Tour guide: ...during which you will see all of the man-made and natural beauties, the most spectacular bay in the world. You'll pass beneath the famous Golden Gate Bridge, considered by most authorities to be one of the most striking structures ever erected by man. From the bay, you will thrill to the magnificent San Francisco skyline. Your cruise ship, the Harbor King, will circle Alcatraz, a maximum security prison containing the most dangerous criminals in America. It has been the home of such notorious figures as Al Capone, Baby Face Nelson, and Machine Gun Kelly.
