In the place of imprisonment and freedom, the male protagonist takes the care and research of life as an opportunity, slowly accumulates, deeply explores, and clears his anger, and finally completes the self-redemption and self-achievement after loneliness. The level of freedom is the ultimate intellectual agitation and spiritual transcendence of the prisoners (caged birds) in the shackles and adversity of the flesh. The film's narrative is steady, the rhythm is just right, and it is very...

Prison is an environment that provides restraint, and the other half of it is to help people recover. The output caused by violent correction will only be a machine that is not beneficial to society. For life sentence prisoners, the system needs to eliminate their boredom, healthy interests and labor is not a long way. We are in different big prisons. The current situation of the epidemic, which is not free to enter and exit, restricts your dream family, or hinders your company's circle of...

This is the best prison movie I've ever seen. There is no intense and exciting escape plot, no deliberate sensationalism and preaching. Some are just the protagonist who feels the dignity of life from a bird that he gets by chance, and experiences the meaning of life through raising birds. Life imprisonment is not terrible, the terrible thing is to turn your heart into a cage, no matter where you are, you will always live like a...

Accurate and powerful in the cold black and white shots, it is very enjoyable, and the hug in the last scene is almost crying. Adapted from real stories, a large number of indoor plays, precise photography scheduling, and the performances are natural from youth to old age. A violent person, because of his perception of weak life, gradually enters the realm of researcher practice, and he has a long-lasting belief in the...

The originator of the prison theme? Is this what JK Rowling's Prisoner of Akkaban means? In fact, prisons are used to map national government management. Although people live in a wider and freer time and space, those invisible rules and regulations still constrain people's freedom. The better the society develops, I think those at the bottom of the society have more personal...

I have spent nearly 20 years of study, and so far I have not found a person and subject matter that resonates with me. Until I met the birder of Alcatraz, and Frankenheimer. The great thing about this movie is that no one is right or wrong, all they have is paranoia. Yet some paranoia fights paranoia, and some paranoia creates paranoia. Those who demanded dignity, although a minority, came too late. It is often accompanied by pride, old and...

A realistic prison movie. Compared with the hole, the death row and Shawshank. This film explores the embodiment of the value of life in a special environment. The fly in the ointment is that the ending is a little...

Robert Stroud: Why did you come 2,000 miles for nothing? Just to see me once a month?
Stella Johnson: I came because I'm your wife, that's why. Bob, the only life I got is you.
Robert Stroud: Then you've got a damned poor future, old girl. I'm never gonna get outta here.
Stella Johnson: I could get a job in a factory. I could write letters every day. It would be like old times.
Robert Stroud: You'd wither away and die waiting. Forget it, Stell. It's the end of the line.
Robert Stroud: Please, Bob.
Robert Stroud: Now, listen to me. Listen carefully. You fought your heart out for me. You fought your heart out for me, but the sun's gone down. And don't look for it to rise again. I want you to pretend that I'm a dead man. I want you to pretend... that you're standin' on my grave.

Harvey Shoemaker: Bob... I've been sent here as a delegate of the Bureau to make you an offer.
Robert Stroud: That's what I've been waiting for.
Harvey Shoemaker: Now the bureau is willing to let you keep your birds. You can even sell 'em. Now this is their official proposal. You can continue to raise and sell the birds, but the profits will be turned over to the prison welfare fund, and you will receive a salary in the form of a share of the profits. I consider that quite a generous offer under the circumstances. Frankly, it's more than I would have offered, had I the authority.
Albert Comstock: Well, Stroud?
Robert Stroud: Let me see if I understand you. You're proposing that the United States government go into the canary-bird business. That's against private enterprise. You sound like a Bolshevik, Harvey.
Albert Comstock: You have no legal right to raise canaries at all.
Robert Stroud: I know. Rule 60 of the Federal Bureau of Prisons Manual: "An inmate cannot be permitted to operate a business, no matter how legitimate, while in prison." That right?
Harvey Shoemaker: You quoted it correctly.
Robert Stroud: That's what I thought. That's why I'm confused. The rule says I can't have a business. You say I can, provided I give you the profits. It's reinventing regulations. It's not like you.
Albert Comstock: Mr. Shoemaker came all the way from Washington to try to work out a plan so you can keep your blasted birds.
Robert Stroud: Don't con an old con, Warden. He came because of public opinion, and you know it. 50,000 signatures on a petition. Congressmen jumping all over MacLeod's back. I think I got you over a barrel, Harvey.
Harvey Shoemaker: Is that you last word?
Robert Stroud: I could use more room. For my birds.
