The movie probably tells the story of Kyle killing the murderer who bought the judge and acquitted him, while being detained in an extremely corrupt prison. If you look closely, you will find that this is not just the story of the Avengers, but also a story of escape in the game to avoid losing yourself.
I hesitated for a long time and finally set this movie as my three or four stars.. I feel that the plot is not only described as "not compact", but even a bit "jumping", and the successful escape at the end seemed a bit sudden.
But there is indeed a lot to learn from it. For example, before the climax of the plot, in order to resist the corruption and cruelty of the wardens, a big riot was triggered. In addition to the so-called "unity" and the meaning of "the law does not account for the people", In this scenario, it appears that it cannot punish anyone. But at the same time, it is obvious that such a big riot cannot be successful. When people's right to speak is not taken seriously, it is more likely that they will not even be able to shake some of the management methods in the prison. I personally feel that there will always be many people who are unwilling. Changes, such as those who bribe the warden, there will always be people who “benefit” the majority of people under this constitution. Although breaking the constitution may get better choices, the “goodness” may not be mentioned. The overall social status.
Also, in addition to the pursuit of justice and freedom, it also highlights the pursuit of human dignity. For example, the 21-year-old man in the film who was arrested and imprisoned for his girlfriend's riots has only one and a half years of imprisonment, but he frequently wants to bear a heavy burden. There is a great risk of escape (shown at the beginning of the movie), because the suffering he suffered in prison was not just physical suffering, but more pain of loss of dignity. In addition to basic human control, there is no freedom in terms of freedom. His collective exposing lifestyle is often regarded as the object of sexual venting, and his desire to escape makes viewers really heartbroken.
This movie also incorporates many other points worthy of consideration: for example, black brothers living under racial discrimination, although many people call them sexual perversions, they are actually the image that "others" think he should be. In such a chaotic small society, no one except the direct stakeholders (such as the male host who is in the same room with him) really cares whether he is a perverted murderer or not. The person is symbolized. He is not a life, but an image. It exists in society, so when he burns to death the person who betrayed his friend (although this is somewhat inhuman or violent...) or helps the male protagonist escape from prison, or kills the general at the end, I don’t feel abrupt. He wrote in his diary that he was living in hatred, but I felt that he was not driven by hatred, he really yearned for peace and love.
For another example, the male protagonist lost himself and lost hope during the fight. When he refused to entertain others and was tortured in the fight, he saw the moth again and thought of the female protagonist again (in fact, the process disappeared in the middle). It's not a moth, it's himself) This point is also worth thinking about.
There are others: legal issues, system issues, corruption and enjoyment of officials, inhuman and incompetent issues, loneliness, discrimination, and self-seeking displayed by the "big guys".....
Therefore, although the plot of the film feels a little jumpy, which leads to too much emotional conversion, and the emotional point at the climax of the film is a little pale, the elements and foundation in the middle should be considered pretty good.
Under PS, my personal feeling is different from Xiao Shengke’s salvation. Although they are all about the same escape theme, but the key points are different. I think Shawshank’s salvation is more prominent in the relationship between the whole and the individual (such as personal institutionalization, but At the same time, I certainly did not deny the theme of pursuing freedom).
