      I don't understand why you want to jailbreak

      Although, everyone said that this is a movie that reflects the aftermath of the war. But I always feel a little awkward.

      Luke himself was sentenced to 2 years of labor camp for damaging public property. I don't think this is anything.

      Your thoughts are fluctuating because of the war. You can keep the door closed at home and do whatever you want, and no one will care about you. But you go out to the street and saw off a lot of the automatic meter. It is estimated that the...

      You can't be a hero just because you're handsome

      "Blood Against the Window" is a wonderful film, the rhythm is tense and gripping, especially Paul Newman's smile becomes the brightest point of the whole film, even the most fierce resistance, but also the most calm attitude, even the most difficult Tortured, but also showed the most charming smile, making his every escape full of expectations. This kind of person is imprisoned not because of the crime of "destroying state property", but because of actions to protect the majority of women....

      So boring, except for a surprise discovery

      The film of more than two hours, which shows the ordinary prison life of an ordinary prisoner, took 2/3 of the time. Every day, it is difficult to cross the road - either weeding or digging trenches, or inexplicably all excitedly heading towards the asphalt. When I was shoveling sand in the competition, I saw that I could endure it again and again.

          This Paul Newman is really wrong. He brought the prison disaster (at first I thought he was going to ambush into the prison to do...

      Cool Hand Luke

      The film tells the story of criminal Luke's rebellion against authority. Luke was jailed for two years in chains for tearing down a parking meter while drunk. He was a cold-hearted hero who was always considered a hero by inmates during his time in prison. When he received the news of his mother's death, he tried unsuccessfully to escape from prison time after time, and was finally shot and killed by the guards. The "rope" that escaped with him was taken back to the prison, replacing Luke's...

      flee only to flee

      The same life behind bars, if Andy in "Shawshank" finally escaped through forbearance and perseverance, then Luke proved himself by getting up again after being knocked down again and again, although he obviously forgot he escaped. Go for the purpose.
             He was trying to prove to the world that he was a never-say-die legend, a tough guy who wouldn't give up, and he obviously did it in his escapes, knowing that he would fail again and again. It is a pity that his goal is not a free land...

      It feels a bit like a cuckoo's nest; a different life behind bars, with a taste of river crabs; some people, everywhere, will be independent and do amazing deeds just to find something to...

      Terrible subtitles, I didn't fully understand the conversation between Luke and his mother, and I couldn't understand Luke's motives from his peaceful life in prison to his decision to escape from prison one after another. It's a...

      What we've got here is failure to communicate. Some men you just can't reach... So, you get what we had here last week, which is the way he wants it! Well, he gets it! N' I don't like it any more than you men. I finally know the source of the gun flower civil war, I will never forget luke's...

    Movie plot

    He was sentenced to prison for only a few small things. Isolated and helpless, he was unwilling to accept the horror of the real environment, and only fought hard to resist.

    Background creation

    The director used extremely rich metaphors in the film and used montage photography to create the expression technique of social violent films in the future. This is one of Paul Newman's most exciting performances, and other actors are also very prominent. The egg-eating scene and "What we've got here is a failure to communicate" have become classic scenes and classic lines. 
    The film is based on Don Pierce’s 1965 novel of the same...
