It is a very different prison/breakout movie. Very shocking. By examining the lives of the actors themselves, we know that the relationship between such a movie and the actors is arranged by God. Another Anthony Perkins. Although the music is old, its short climax and ending have been elevated to the...

On December 1970, the American boy was forced to be imprisoned in Turkey for carrying marijuana. At the end of three years, the United States and Turkey had been guilty and sentenced to life. During the period, he failed to escape, was beaten and starved. The last time he was singled by the cell leader, he fell to his death and escaped by changing clothes. It's a little literary, because the brush strokes are too delicate. The story is unsurprising, and there is too much talk about the...

Screenplay by OliverStone, American in Turkish prison, victim of Nixon's diplomacy and temporary tensions in US-Turkish relations. The Turks were portrayed as abominable. The four-year sentence was once changed to 30 years. The fight scenes, the masturbation scenes with his girlfriend visiting prison, and the hysterical performances of BradDavis are all impressive. At the end of the escape, the process of being born is dramatic, and the continuous freeze-frame pictures and the desolate theme...

He was initially sentenced to 3 to 5 years in prison, but then the Turkish authorities decided to try him on...

Mr. Hayes: All right, Billy. I know it sounds tough, but - we are going to get you out! I promise you. I don't want you to get stupid and pull anything. They can play with your sentence. All right. Now, I'm putting 500 dollars in the bank. Anything you need, you write. There's food here. There's candy. And there's writing paper. Books. Cigarettes. Soap. Toothbrush.
