Nothing is impossible

In the warden’s heart, Alcatraz is a natural prison that cannot be escaped. After two solitary confinement and seven years of dark spiritual torture, Papillon survived because of the moment of escape in his mind. He has not been dismissed, and the fact that he has been wronged also makes him unwilling! He and his good friend Degas both failed to escape from prison twice. The physical torture and mental shock made Degas slowly lose the fighting spirit to escape, but Papillon did not let go of every opportunity. When I came to the cliff of Alcatraz Island, there was no one to guard here, because jumping down was either dead or disabled. Even if you were lucky enough to survive, it would be difficult to escape on the boundless sea. Papillon found that the law of the ocean tide was consistent with the direction of the mainland, and determined to try to escape again. Degas secretly gave up, but he still made a raft with his friends, and left his thoughts and paintings to the dragon, Papillon. This time it finally succeeded! Many years later, he returned to France to request the publication of his memoirs, revealing the dark history of Alcatraz and bringing the painting of his good friend Degas...

Regardless of the environment, a firm belief is a strong reason to support people to jump over the wall. A brave person is a strong mind, and does not float on the surface...
