I had limited time last week, so I couldn't write a review of the first episode of the fifth season of "Prison Break", so I didn't "get" the best hot spots, so I could only write the first two episodes together this week.
I re-watched "Prison Break" once the year before, and the first season was still a classic, and the second season was also very exciting, but I couldn't watch it in the third season, let alone the fourth season of the dog tail... It should be said, comeback The quality of the "New Prison Break" is acceptable . Today, this IP is destined to not be able to give us as many surprises as it did back then-but, if this story that has affected a whole generation can be marked with a truly satisfactory Full stop, that must be the ending that everyone is happy to see .
By now, what Michael and the others wanted to escape was no longer the prison where the prisoners were being held. What they really wanted to break through was the cage that trapped their hearts .
Resurrection from the dead, brushed to bursting feelings
From the beginning, the story tells us that Michael is not dead, and implies that he is still alive somewhere in the world.
Then came the tea bag brother "T-bag" that we both love and hate. Thanks to the help of an expert, he left the Fox River Prison where he had been imprisoned for many years, and got the (impossible to fake) envelope left to him by someone, It contains a recent photo of Michael and a riddle .
Feeling strange, T-bag found an old acquaintance Lincoln and told him, " Your brother is still alive, it seems that fate is destined for us to join forces again. "
However, Lincoln's mood is more complicated than T-bag. On the one hand, he firmly believes that Michael has been dead for seven years, and this photo is completely nonsense. The bag was driven away but the photo was left behind .
Lincoln had a heart-to-heart talk with Sarah, but he didn't come up with the result, but found the answer to " Ogegia " in front of Michael's grave... The tangled Lincoln finally chose to dig the coffin to find out, even if he made psychological preparations, but The truth still frightened him.
Next, there are two murders that are too watery...
At this moment, Lincoln still doesn't understand that he has been involved in a big conspiracy. Although he is still confused, one thing is certain: he must find his brother and rescue him .
"...So I took part in jihad. The real jihad is not the chaos you see on the news, but the inner war, the inner struggle to change one's heart , to find and pursue God." The hardworking "C-note" Franklin , who has now converted to Allah, became Lincoln's first profitable assistant.
With a professional counterpart and a platform close to the water, Franklin quickly found a lot of information for Lincoln, but the more he investigated, the more frightened: Michael was detained in Ogegia Prison in Sana'a, Yemen. The past information has also been erased one by one ...
"You know how complicated it is to fake a death? Let alone let a living person live for seven years without anyone noticing."
The situation was very severe, even worse than his own experience back then. Lincoln decided to fly to Yemen, and Franklin couldn't just sit back and ignore it. They didn't let Sucre, who was eager to help, go with him... The two were introduced by their local guide Shiba, and they ended up in the city. Saw Michael Schofield in prison , even though his name is now Garnier Utis .
The story of the first episode is relatively simple, but it is very powerful to bring back the emotions of everyone (especially the old fans) - many important characters have returned, the talented sportsman Michael, the sturdy brother Lincoln, the evil and charming T-bag , the only heroine Sarah, the good man Franklin, the friendship crazy man Sucre and so on.
The power of this feeling is huge and immeasurable. It is no exaggeration to say that just to recall the memories and feelings of the audience, the new season of "Prison Break" is strong enough...
In the second episode, even Kellerman , who was supposed to be silenced at the end of the second season, appeared again... I was relieved immediately after the momentary surprise. Since even Michael can be resurrected, why Keller Man can't?
Through the strong transition of the first two episodes, the fifth season of "Prison Break" has successfully whetted the appetite of new and old audiences. If we can tell another good story in 9 episodes, then we will really no regrets .
How to jailbreak?
Back to the most fundamental focus, this time Michael wants to escape, and it is an almost " impossible task ". What's more terrible is that, unlike in the first season, the brothers were united and the plan was meticulous, the fifth season is different. The brothers didn't even know each other when they first met, Michael, who goes by the pseudonym Utis, was a notorious terrorist ...
The identity is uncertain and the situation is unknown. This time, the escape plan is full of various uncertainties and bizarre questions .
At the beginning of the second episode, the signal that had been waiting for a week still did not appear. Obviously, the person outside the prison had a problem, which directly caused Michael 's original plan to go to waste .
Unwilling but helpless, Michael and Vip could only go back to the cell, and they had to make a long-term plan.
Looking at it now, Michael has two forces available, one outside and one inside. In the end, if he wants to escape from prison successfully, both are indispensable .
External force: old acquaintance
" I still have a move to go, which I didn't want to do, but it's already started. "
The original plan failed, and he had to start the backup Plan B. Michael, who was careful and well-planned, still kept his hand. In the worst case, he could only turn to the closest person .
Since then, we can also understand why Michael tried his best to attract Lincoln and others, but they did not recognize each other. Before the original plan completely failed, he still did not want to completely pull his brother and the others into this operation . After all, water Too deep, the danger is still great.
But now, backup means and manpower have to be used.
First and foremost, of course, are Lincoln and Franklin. When brother Lincoln learned that he was still alive, he would definitely break through all difficulties and come to him, and if he wanted to act in Yemen, a place he didn't know well, he had to have the help of an acquaintance . The upper guide Shiba constitutes the core force outside the prison .
The effect was immediate . Michael, through the paper crane, hinted to find Mohamed El Tunis, director of the electrical engineering department in Sanaa, who had been missing for a week, Lincoln and others took a lot of trouble, and finally managed to find the person back. , Since he wants to help his son escape from prison, Tunisia will definitely help out - power off, give a signal, and Michael's plan will restart.
Followed by the affectionate good buddy Sucre. I'm not sure if Sucre came just because he heard about Franklin, or if he learned the truth through other channels, but his appearance was timely - Sucre is now a man on the dock, that is, on a free cargo ship, begging for a living, all over the world Most of the ports he has been to .
what does that mean? means of escape . You must know that this prison break is not just about getting out of the prison. They also have to escape the war-torn Yemen. The sea route is undoubtedly an excellent choice .
Although Lincoln and the others did not let Sucre go with him out of safety and practical considerations, there might be a more important mission waiting for him .
And finally the T-bag. Lincoln was able to learn that Michael was alive by virtue of the envelope he received when he was released from prison through the T-bag, and apparently it was safer to deliver the message through a seemingly unrelated person than to send it directly to Lincoln (and through two murders). As well as the attack that just arrived in Yemen, it can also be known that someone has been stalking).
The question is, is the T-bag just a postman? In that case, it's enough to help him get out of prison smoothly. Do you need to arrange for a doctor to reconnect T-bag with a fake limb ?
Judging from the doctor's answer, it was Michael who helped T-bag, but it is still unknown what role he can play in the future.
As for Sarah, I don't see how she can help, and Michael should keep her away from this vortex.
Inner Force: New Friend
Sarah's current husband , Jacob , probably best describes what Michael did in prison: "In game theory, you need to be two-faced and be friends with everyone until you don't . Love you, people's loyalty to you can lead them to do things that are against their own best interests when it matters ... Calm, rational, focused on winning ... You'll be on good terms with them until you eventually need to use it for yourself these relationships ."
Utis, who was Michael's incarnation, was so scheming and silent , pulling every cellmate who could play a role to his side .
The first is the gay brother. He was sentenced to 20 years in prison because of his sexual orientation. However, the current situation is turbulent. He has no sense of security in prison and may be killed at any time.
But his father is Tunisian, the director of electrical engineering in Sana'a, and has the ability to temporarily put the whole of Sana'a into a blackout ...
As early as a week ago, he should have found an opportunity to send a signal to assist in the escape, but he was accidentally stranded in the occupied area because of his daughter's relationship. Now he has finally returned to his position, and the plan within 24 hours has restarted .
Next is Korean Ya, who is not only a huge fan of Queen and Freddie Mercuria, but also a highly skilled world-class hacker (so why are you locked up in Yemen?), even in the humble Ogier Gia, he still has a durable mobile phone .
But this Korean is not easy to mess with . He has been addicted to drugs for a long time now, and his already withdrawn and indifferent personality has become even more severe.
The more capable people are, the more they need to have a good relationship. Michael has been close to Yatao for a long time, and now the time has come to use people- he tried his best to get two tablets containing morphine, which are high fever medicine for ordinary people. But for addicts who are forced to quit drugs ...
Want it? Bring my cell phone and credit card number , and I'll order a "pizza". Then, Michael has further external liaison means and financial and technical support .
In the end, there was Vip who was by Michael's side almost all the time. The two of them went to the rooftop to wait for the signal, and he knew the most about the entire escape plan... Michael even said something like " You are my advantage, my killer ."
But so far, I can't see anything special about this ordinary guy, but since Michael values him so much, I believe that Vip can definitely play a role at a critical moment .
In addition, there is a man near Michael who seems to be with them, but it is not clear now, so I put it aside for now and talk about it later.
The signal of the power outage has appeared, and the rush version of the prison escape plan has begun . Time is running out, and Abu Lamar has come out to play - but it seems that "Utis" and him have a really good relationship ...
The only question now is: How many people will Michael take when the breakout actually begins?
Visible Prison
The other protagonist of this season's story is, of course, the Ojegia Prison in Sana'a, Yemen . It has a lot of origin in the local area. In addition to the common criminals, it also detains many prominent figures , such as Abu Lamar, the leader of the ISIL terrorist group .
If nothing else, it will become another object of conquest by Michael .
Is it enough to escape from Ogegia Prison ? Of course not, Michael and Lincoln have to flee Sana'a, Yemen, and even the whole Middle East .
At this time, the war in Yemen was raging, and the ISIL terrorist organization was raging everywhere. The locals tried their best to escape, but Lincoln and Franklin rushed in. In order to get the chance to see Michael in prison, Lincoln also gave his passport to someone else...
It's easy to get in, but hard to get out .
The city of Sana'a was devastated by the civil war, and the government forces and ISIL fought for every inch of the land. Because of this, it was impossible for Lincoln and the others to find people normally .
So, escaping from Ogegia is just the first step, and a bigger challenge awaits Michael and the others in the whole city (it seems that it is very important to have a good relationship with Abu Lamar, but if it is true, Michael's identity is even more important. Hard to figure out...).
invisible prison
The story of "Prison Break" spans twelve years. It is not only high walls and bars that want to escape, but more importantly, the inner demons and karma that shroud everyone .
However, the deeper you sink, the harder it is to extricate yourself .
lincoln
" Lincoln Bruce, a sturdy man who made his mark from the ghetto, look at you now, the fallen leaves are returning to their roots, you have always been such a person, a little thief who can't pay his debts ."
Lincoln's appearance was very poor . He was so embarrassed that he was chased by debt collectors at such an old age. It can be seen that Michael has been living a very poor life since his "death" .
Why do people who are free and should have a better life fall here? The main reason is precisely Michael's departure .
As a brother, Lincoln has taken good care of his younger brother since he was a child. In order for Michael to go to school, he went to the society early to seek a living, and entered a gray area... But in any case, as long as Michael is there, Lincoln's will is there .
"My life has been a mess since you left, I'm back in my old business, some things you can't get used to...but I'm at peace, Michael, at peace... just if you'd be there to help me then Better together ."
Lincoln's so-called "inner peace" is completely self-deceiving nonsense . The younger brother who depends on each other is gone, and the thoughts that have supported him for so many years have collapsed. He doesn't know how to face the life of losing Michael, so he can only get more and more. the worse .
But when he knew that Michael was still alive and needed his own help, Lincoln became a completely different person - he flew into the battlefield resolutely, did everything possible to complete the goal, and even rescued him from many militants in the hail of bullets. several girls .
Lincoln, who got out of the car, looked like a god , and even Shiba, who had never looked down on him before, couldn't help but love him...
Yes, with Michael's Lincoln, all the energy is back - Lincoln's inner demons are deep, but they are the best solution. As long as his younger brother is here, he will try his best to become the best version of himself .
Sarah
Michael "died", widow Sarah married economist Jacob with her son Wheat, everything seemed to be very happy, only when he chatted with Lincoln about Wheat, we know that this knot may be solved for a lifetime no :
"Not only did he think of you as a myth, but Michael was in his heart as well. He felt like his father was like a god, a god he had never seen... not just now, but never in the future."
It was precisely because Sarah believed that Michael could not abandon his wife and children and live an incognito life, so she firmly believed that Michael would not be alive . In her mind, Michael's impression was already dead , and she told her son: "Michael Schofield, like a storm, he is handsome, scary, mysterious, he will appear in your life from the blue sky, and then he will quickly disappear without a trace... "
Saying a thousand words and ten thousand, Sarah is destined to never forget this man . One can imagine how she would feel when she actually saw that Michael was still alive .
What followed was constant rushing and inquiries, as well as repeated torment and anxiety brought about by doubts ... To Sarah, Michael was not only a man who had loved each other, but also a lingering heartbreak throughout his life .
Michael
The eye of this storm is Michael, and he seems to be sinking into a quagmire that he cannot extricate himself from . Although the truth is unknown now, he has indeed changed .
"Your brother is dead, Lincoln... then why did he leave? Why did he abandon his own son if he was out all these years? "
Sarah's doubts are also the questions that most people want to ask. Even if he faked his death in order to avoid the limelight, but after so many years, he didn't care about his wife, son, brother, and other people who were closest to him, and he didn't hear from him . What's the difference between this and death? How much unspeakable and hardships exist...
According to Kellerman, Michael's pseudonymous Utis killing of the CIA deputy director is " conclusive ", which can be put aside for now. The key is: "The official records, including his past, are different, you think behind the scenes Master, that's scary, because only a powerful person can change someone's identity at an official level, such as a genius like Michael ."
No matter what the truth is, at least one thing is certain - without Michael's approval, he can't play self-disappearance, and even he is the mastermind .
Look at what Michael is doing in the eyes of ordinary people: killing people, opposing the government, supporting terrorism, jailbreaking...
It's hard to tell whether the previous allegations are true or false, but you can't escape from jail...
And at the end of the second episode, watching Michael and Abu Lamar hugging each other further confirmed the rumors that he was related to terrorists .
All signs prove that the current Michael is not what it used to be, and even Sarah has begun to doubt it. Jacob's words seem to explain:
"He's changed... He gets too deep, and in the end, it will drive people crazy. At first, he may think that in order to take care of the overall situation, he can condone small evils, but sometimes it is difficult to distinguish between good and evil, and the manipulation of others has become the most important thing. things, people become so focused on winning that they don’t think about whether the victory itself is right or wrong .”
Maybe so, Michael is caught in the endless pursuit of victory, he is addicted to challenges, eager to constantly push the limits, he wants to conquer all the impossible .
...until Sarah received the paper flowers .
At least, Michael still cares about the safety of his lover and knows to let her avoid the danger that comes with it - since Michael still has this heart, it means that he still has a trace of reason and clarity in his mind .
" If you want to change the world, first change yourself ." Michael Schofield is a man who wants to do great things. He must put himself in danger in order to achieve his goals. People inside and outside the play can't help but worry about whether he has lost himself ...
However, until now we are still willing to believe that he can stick to his will and remain unchanged .
