What are you living for

This is not a cool film about how to escape from prison with a high IQ. After watching the protagonist Papillon’s repeated failures in prison escape career, it is unforgettable except for the unbearable despair and various difficulties in solitary confinement for many years. A friend's indulgent indulging towards the sea without any regrets despite the nine deaths. What echoed repeatedly in my mind was the sentence that the warden seemed to be torturing everyone, "Bobby, why are you living for?"
