If I go out, I will definitely live a different life.
[Babylong] is a prison escape movie, the male lead is named Babilong, and he wants to escape from prison.
On this Sunday, the warden is going to put a movie in the yard to entertain local politicians. At that time, the guards will be spread out and the yard will be very noisy, which is an excellent time to escape.
But the prison is on the island and surrounded by the sea. So counting him, a total of four people participated.
He pretended to be mad and tricked him into a box of tranquilizers. The man in glasses crushed it, mixed it in the wine, and sent it to the guard on duty that night. The big guy bought a boat and met him upstream. Xiao Bai Lian'er is responsible for hooking up with the jailer.
To put it plainly is the mouth.
The jailer smiled like a thousand trees blooming, and immediately took off his pants and enjoyed it. He was humming, and there was a stick behind him, and the key was also taken away.
In this way, the four of them escaped from birth, drove a small boat across the sea, and walked all the way without stopping. The sunshine leaped on his shoulders, and a poetic freedom gushed out.
Many years later, someone asked Papillon, is this really your story?
At that time, Papillon had white hair and wrinkles on his face, but his eyes were extremely firm. After a long while, he said, " This is the story of many men. "
The first man to escape from prison was called Jack Shipard .
In 1723, he was arrested and imprisoned for theft. It was a good time to catch up, because the imprisonment system had just been introduced at that time, and the prisons were too crude and shabby, all of which were "unit cell structures."
According to the "Spatial Features and Evolution of Western Prison Buildings", every 10 cells are a unit, and supervision is not perfect.
So, Shipild broke the ceiling, tied the clothes into a rope, and climbed out along the way. The whole journey took only three hours.
But he was really used to being sneaky and was sent in again soon.
Fortunately, the mistress came to visit and secretly brought him some women's clothes to cover people's eyes. After replacing it, he removed a railing on the window, stretched out the knotted sheets, climbed on and fled.
The writer Defoe wrote a novel based on him, which sold very well. It was once sold to Luoyang Zhigui, which caused the Royal Theater to have a play for it.
But it's not a clever way, let alone put it aside, even in the 19th century, you can get caught in minutes.
How to say, this 19th-century Britain, there is a philosopher named Jie Mini Bentham, he designed a Panopticon , the central tower there, as long as the jailer Wang Libian children a station, you can see the situation of all cells.
The role of surveillance is brought to the extreme.
It's a pity that Bentham was almost paranoid in marketing everywhere, but he was repeatedly frustrated and almost went bankrupt. Fortunately, in 1811, on the other side of the ocean, the young and energetic United States adopted this design and built two such panoramic prisons.
There is a saying that "there are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom".
In 1863, during the American Civil War, a Confederate general was captured along with six officers under his hand.
The general wondered that the fire from the outside was so high that it was not a solution to consume it like this. He mobilized the other six people to dig a tunnel with pipes, pass into the inner courtyard, knot the quilt, and climb out of the high wall of the inner courtyard .
Set a "example" for the younger generation.
In February of the following year, the United States was freezing cold and the west wind rustled with snow beads on the eaves of Libby Prison, killing many people alive.
Seeing this situation, the Northern Union Army prisoners of war decided to escape from prison.
The leader was Colonel Rose. He found a basement that was abandoned due to a large number of rats and organized the excavation of a tunnel. He successfully dug under a straw shed at the east end of the prison and broke out of the ground smoothly.
It also shows a truth. Successful escape from prison depends not on luck, but on persistence and patience. These two things matter.
Shiratori Yuei is considered patient.
He escaped four times in his life, but not to escape sanctions, but to dissatisfied with the prison treatment, such as "poor food, not enough to eat", "request for an extra quilt, rejected" and so on.
The time that best demonstrated his patience was in Akita Prison in 1941.
At that time, the jailer imprisoned him in a "calm room" on the grounds of "prison escape". It was three meters high and all four walls were made of copper. The bed was made of concrete, and only a narrow and narrow iron grille skylight was left. It was really a copper wall and iron wall. .
He grinds on the copper wall every day, grinds out a step that can barely build his feet, and stepped on it while it was dark to remove the skylight fence.
After that, the taste of the soup is served daily by the province down, pour in the whole bolt shackled with handcuffs, relying on salt corrosion, the bolt will pull out smoothly . Finally stepped on that step and got out of the skylight.
In the 2017 movie [Broken Prison] , the prisoner played by Takayuki Yamada was modeled after him and restored the calm room.
But not all prisoners have this kind of patience.
In the 1930s, during the Great Depression in the United States, a gangster named John Dillinger was caught . He escaped from prison purely by courage and luck.
First, he polished a piece of wood into the shape of a pistol, and then smeared it with shoe polish that he got from nowhere . It turned out to be fake, and he held it against the jailer's forehead, forcing him to take off his police uniform and put it on him.
I deceived everyone in this way and left grandiosely.
In 2009, the [Public Enemy] put his entire life on the screen, played by Johnny Depp with a very sly smile.
I don't know if it was because of watching this movie. In November 2015, in a detention center in the United States, two prisoners did the same, holding soap and shoe polish, and squeezing out a fake gun.
Originally, they wanted to hold the prison guards with this fake gun in order to escape smoothly. Unexpectedly, the flaw was spotted at a glance and was caught on the spot.
It can be seen that luck and courage require a very high opportunity cost . John Dillinger's kind of incident is really a small probability.
Therefore, during World War II, most prisoners of war chose to use the dumbest and also the most patient method-digging tunnels.
For example, in the Sachsenhausen concentration camp in Germany, there is a British Air Force major Bertram James, known as the "greatest prison escape hero."
From April 1943 to March 1944, he spent a year using cheese cans issued by the Red Cross to lead more than 600 prisoners of war to participate in tunnel excavations, and set up a ventilation system and storage room inside.
The bed board was also completely dismantled to support the tunnel. Worn clothes are twisted into wicks, and some oil and water on the meals are poured for lighting.
In the end, although only half of them escaped, they have been very successful, and are worthy of the title given by history: the great escape of a hundred people.
[The Great Escape] in 1962 was adapted accordingly.
That same year, on Alcatraz Island, surrounded by the sea, three prisoners conspired to plot an escape, and then escaped successfully.
Alcatraz became a federal prison in 1934 and retired in 1963. There were 14 recorded escapes. Among them, 23 people were arrested on the spot, 6 people were killed, 3 people escaped successfully, no one knows where they went.
But since they, any escape from prison--
For example, in the Santa Martha Acatitla prison outside Mexico City in 1971, little Kaplan arranged for a helicopter to take him away because he was dissatisfied with the food and treatment , leaving the prison guards dumbfounded.
In 1996, the legendary American liar Stephen Russell spent many years collecting green highlighters, and then dyed them on prison uniforms to make them similar in color to police uniforms . By doing so, they deceived all the guards and successfully escaped from prison.
Or in July 2017, in Alabama, USA, 12 prisoners used a jar of peanut butter to smear the door leading to the outside into a cell door , tricking the prison guard to open it, falsely claiming to return to the cell, and successfully rushing to freedom.
——Any one of these escape operations, or "ingenuity", or thrilling, but not as good as the one-tenth of the escape from Alcatraz.
In 1961, the Anglin brothers and Frank Morris used spoons, coins and nail clippers to dig through the walls of the cell. He took out the motor from the stolen vacuum cleaner and made it into a simple electric drill.
However, there was noise when it was activated, and they were covered by the prison's accordion playing activities, and drilled a small hole through which one person could crawl through.
Then he covered the hole with wet newspaper, and then painted a layer of green paint of the same color as the cell wall. At first glance, it seemed like a perfect fit.
Then, they used toilet paper and soap supplied by the prison to make dummy heads, and while cutting them regularly, they removed some shredded hair and stuck them on the heads . Then they covered the quilt and pretended to sleep in order to buy time for escape.
In this way, they deceived the jailer and escaped from the cell. According to the magazine "Popular Mechanics" in November 1960, they used 50 rubber cloth raincoats to glue an inflatable raft 1.8 meters wide and 4.2 meters long.
Then the bellows refitted with accordion were full of air, and the oars were made of plywood.
This is the only successful escape in the history of Alcatraz. Because of this, countless movies based on this place have sprung up, such as [Courage to Death Island], [X-Men 3: Last Stand], and [Baby Dragon] .
After failing to escape the second time, Papillon was imprisoned in Alcatraz Island, surrounded by mountains and rivers.
Suddenly one day, he discovered that the waves here have a pattern. As long as a raft is built and thrown into the sea, the tide will bring it to land. So he built a raft overnight and jumped into the sea with howling himself.
Then, riding the rapids to freedom.
Unlike [Ye Wen], relying on the warden who likes martial arts; unlike [Chess Player], relying on the warden who likes to play chess; unlike [Gunkanjima], relying on the warden’s love to listen to music; unlike "Prison Break", relying on The warden liked the Taj Mahal.
You see, there are so many prison escape plots in film history, and there is only one [Shawshank's Redemption] that can be compared with it .
It was the banker who was wronged and imprisoned, Andy, using the prison sewer to dig a hole to freedom. Then he climbed over the stinky water ditch and headed cleanly towards the Pacific Ocean under the torrential rain.
The most unforgettable thing for me in the whole film was a time of wind. He leaned against the high wall of Shawshank Prison and said to inmates:
The Pacific is where I want to spend the rest of my life. I opened a small hotel, just by the beach, bought a worthless old boat, refurbished it, and carried my guests out to sea for fishing.
Papillon also said something similar, with firm eyes: "If I go out, I will definitely live a different life."
Not to mention the sins he committed, and regardless of the right or wrong of the escape, just looking at the yearning for freedom, it seems that the people inside the high wall know how to fight and how to live a life better than the mediocre people outside the high wall.
Therefore, the old version of [Babylong] has a line: You did not kill, but you committed a more serious crime-wasting your life. Do you deny the crime?
Are you guilty?
