In fact, I think it may be more interesting to discuss how to treat a person with high IQ and low morality, that is, I think more descriptions should be given to the warden and prison guards, but unfortunately the context is focused on the life development and character of the male protagonist change. Therefore, this film lacks support for the discussion of the theme between prison and freedom. And the motives of the characters of the mother, wife, and prison guard are quite vague, so I don't...

This is a film about exploring freedom in prison, reflecting the nested relationship between people and social rules. The liberty of the warden's alms and the awakening of Lancaster's self-redemption make the whole film full of sharpness, and there is no lack of warmth through the vitality of the prisoner. Wang Xiaobo said that life is a slow process of being hammered. In social attributes, everyone will eventually bow to social rules. Even though Lancaster, who was as fierce as a tiger in his...

Revisit: It seems too preachy and rigid to portray characters under the preconceived premise that a self-taught bird-raising "scientist", prisons cannot confine the soul, and punishment is enough to offset sins; Lancaster's inner transition is extremely rough, manic and easy The angry murderer instantly becomes a harmless, even peaceful and kind bird-raiser like a Buddha. He may represent a class that has been abandoned and discriminated against, but in reality, there are very few people who...

What attracts me is not the development process of this god in prison, but the buddhism and indifference of the male protagonist after being denied & destroyed again and...

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...

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.
