I really hope they can escape and be free! However, Gaspar actually betrayed them, why? Didn't he say that his decision to participate in the jailbreak plan was the best decision he had ever made in his life?
Follow the director's rhythm and witness a prison escape spectacle, which is shockingly real!
Had to admire Orland's technology, tied the broken lens to the toothbrush to make a small detector. In order to prevent them from being discovered by prison guards, they made movable devices out of cardboard boxes to act as moving human bodies. Under the cover of the sound of prison construction, Orland smashed the floor desperately. I looked at such a record that did not compress time at all. The sound of the thumping sound seemed to hit my heart.
Armed with a homemade light source, Orland and Manu came to the prison's underground passage. Breaking the steel bars, opening the prison door, everything went on in an orderly manner. The guards who were patrolling almost discovered that Manu was standing on Orland, shielded by the pillars, spinning, and escaped their inspection.
They worked together and took turns smashing the concrete wall of the sewer. Neo, who had always been lazy, was buried under the gravel of the landslide. Orland was trying his best to clear the gravel. Looking at their clasped hands, I saw that we were in common weal and woe. This is a rare warm moment of human nature.
Manu's suspicions were not wrong, Gaspar really betrayed them. But let's not forget that Gaspar was beside him when Manu was digging through the concrete wall. Together they walked through the sewers, lifted the manhole cover, saw a taxi, and heard the church bell. Together they enjoyed the impending freedom. Why, Gaspar still wants to betray them, betray such a rare friend, a friend who has experienced the most precious emotion in life together? This is the despicableness and coldness of human nature.
There is no soundtrack in the film, all the voices come from the dialogues and actions of the characters, especially the sound of digging holes, which not only reflects the aesthetics of documentary, but also conveys their strong desire for freedom, no matter what, they must resist.
Prison guards carefully, almost harshly, inspect items sent to prisoners by relatives, slicing cheese, breaking smoked fish, stirring pudding. From time to time surprise inspections, as well as daily routine rounds. It was in such tight confinement that they presented us with an almost impossible escape story. They were about to succeed, only to lose to vile humanity.
The assembled prison guards were reflected in the lens, and the voice suddenly sounded, followed by the commotion of the prisoners. Manu rushed up to grab Gaspar's neck, but nothing could be undone.
This is your room, cell number seven. Gaspar did not get the freedom he was promised.
The cave, dark and damp, unknown and mysterious, may also be the only way to freedom. We can drill through hard cement, but we cannot see through the black hole of human nature.
