"The Hole" 8.5 (1960)
⑦
Bresson likes to emphasize sound, but he rejects music. The only real ambient sound that appears repeatedly in "Death Row Escape" is the amplified and emphasized real ambient sound. Until the final protagonist successfully escapes from prison, he finally has a hymn that symbolizes new life and freedom. Knot. In his opinion, music will only draw the audience's attention away from the real world and allow the audience to enter another world, so he usually only uses it at the end. In those movies that are talking and acting, and then suddenly start playing music, the story itself, or the performance of the actors, or the failure of the director's scheduling, is in the sound of the music.
Jacques Baker must have taken this quite seriously. In his posthumous work "The Hole", the rejection of music went even further, even rejecting the appearance of music at the end, even though this film has the most rapid and violent in history. Another thrilling twist at the end.
Although there is no clear historical data to explain the relationship between the two, "Death Convict Escape" and "The Hole", which were separated by 4 years, are equally strong, cold, and realistic in style. How to observe the environment, collect information and then plan carefully, and how to The tightrope execution in the unknown and thrilling, all of which are presented without modification or even without editing, such a stupefying and shocking plan, in the continuous sound of gouge, is suddenly given really persuasive.

Claude was only a misdemeanor, and his rhetoric about shooting his wife was just a makeshift lie he made to cater to his roommate. When his sister-in-law's lover came to visit, he mentioned his plans to study abroad, "I will go to the UK for a year, and when you get out of prison, I will come back." Obviously he lied about the sentence.
From this point of view, the warden's practice of mixing light criminals with serious criminals is really a clever move. Sure enough, most of the fortresses in the world start to disintegrate from the inside. In less than a second when the looking glass turns from the empty corridor to the other side, the horror enough to make your heart stop is just like the sentence "other people are hell".
