      Father and son

      In the film, the British prison management is quite chaotic. Prisoners can go to other people's cells at will, mix with prison guards, and hand out dangerous items such as lighters. Prison guards collude with prisoners and are prone to riots. Mr. Bowmer's special care correction group was disbanded because his father Neve wanted to go in, but because his father Neve wanted to go in, the correction group was disbanded, and Bowmer left. Eric beat Neve and won, but also beat the prisoner boss by...

      Use almost primitive violence to tear the latent love in happiness

      Over the years, I have become more and more admired by British movies and British dramas. They make comedies, which can make you laugh from the bottom of your heart. Whether it is playing English word games or the kind of slightly neurotic British humor, American comedies are not able to match (Does this also show the two The country’s control of the English language is unsurpassed); they make social problem dramas, which can make you worried and depressed and even willing to accompany the...

      "Father and Son Affection in Prison" is trying to find you

      From the police car escorting the prisoner, the prisoner led the spectator into the prison. The moment his forefoot stepped in, he needed to look for the "safe exit" route. The veil of the other world in the British Empire was bit by bit. Uncover. Similar to most films about the prison situation, inmates sign in, strip off, check in, clean up, and formally get a prison green card. The beginning of "Father and Son in Deep Prison" is really nothing new. This is the first step to fall into the...

      Story running account--personal memo


           19 Boy Eric was imprisoned for crimes. His violent behavior further led to his transfer to an adult prison. He was in a pathologically violent situation and could not control his emotions at all. His father was also serving his sentence in this prison. His father left him when he was five years old. Deep down in his heart, he still yearned for his father's love. At the same time, his father cared for him deeply. It's just that the violent father and son can't express their emotions...

      Complement each other

      Different from the previous films that express the emotions of father and son, the two are placed in the same space at the same time, and they are in a special environment like a prison. There is a clear contrast effect in the form of expression. The style of the image is cold and realistic, expressing the tender theme of father and son. It just complements each other.

      The fly in the ointment is that apart from the father and son, the other characters are severely flat, without any...

      In fact, it is still about the parents' love for their children, their desire for control, and the youth's rebellion, but I don't quite understand why the prison guard is reluctant to let the social worker intervene and put Eric to death, just to show the darkness inside the prison? The male pig's acting skills are amazing, and he's even more handsome than when he was filming Eden Lake....

    Movie plot

    As a childhood Eric ( Jack O'Connell ) heard his father Neve ( Ben Mendelsohn ) abused his mother as soon as he left, his heart was filled with hatred for his father. What's even sadder is that his mother, who is dependent on each other, treats him badly, so much so that he wants to go to jail to see his father. Eric went to jail for a crime, and with his outstanding fighting ability in prison, he became a popular figure in prison....

    Evaluation action

    The film’s old-fashioned title is a film that can deeply present the lives of prisoners. The sketches of British prisons are as meticulous as a documentary. The straightforward violence can make people feel uneasy. Despite the small format of the film, the clues seem trivial. The old-fashioned topic of father-son relationship was once again moved into a confined space. Director David Mackenzie demonstrated the ability to bring warmth...
