Pure minimalism

1. In this movie, the content: simple story and rich details. Bresson made the main event development process, namely the escape from prison, including the depiction of the main characters very clear, without obscuring his personality and working style. A protagonist who is meticulous, intelligent, tough, and courageous can be portrayed in one stroke. The expression of the lens language: There are no large scenes and complicated and gorgeous scenes. The simple composition and a large number of close-ups even limit the audience's perspective, making the whole film like refined metal, hard and free of impurities. 2. Calm and restrained narrative combined with superb sound and picture. Good at using the sound effects in the scene to create a tense or sad atmosphere, such as the sound of the prisoners knocking on the wall, the footsteps of the prison guards and the sound of the key to the escalator pillar, the sound of the shooting prisoner, the sound of the protagonist digging the door panel... Repeatedly In some turning points, such as the protagonist changing rooms, going out several times and Orsini’s death, the same symphony clip is used to further stimulate the audience's emotions. Bresson’s Catholic faith can be seen in many places in the movie, and the dialogue between Christ and Negotim (?) The protagonist tries to inspire everyone to use his methods and so on. Few characters talk, but mostly use the protagonist's diary to narrate this thrilling and fascinating escape from prison. 3. Classical refers to the era of ancient Greece and Rome. Like classical paintings, it has the characteristics of simplicity, grandeur, tranquility, power, and elegance, and also pays attention to the expression of personal heroism and human suffering. The same is true of "Death Convict Escape". I won’t repeat the statement about the last master because I don’t understand the history of classic films.

    Refining the narrative with strictly selected core perspectives, holding the audience away with crisis from outside the painting. There has never been a prison break-themed movie with such austerity and arrogance.

    Few people understand the true meaning of "minimalism"-minimalism does not mean very few. Here again I have to use "Creed" to set off the comparison: if "Creed" is a four-thread or even eight-thread visio schedule, then "Death Prison Escape" is a cloud picture-the former is dazzling, but it is actually a mechanical setting. ; The latter can be known at a glance, but it is precisely because it is extremely natural and intuitive to grasp it all, the amount of information is actually two orders of magnitude higher. The collision analysis of water molecules will make people pierce their heads, but the water will be known without a glance. The difference is probably the same.
