I find that many screenwriters like to use metaphors. For example, the Experimenter I saw before, talked about Milgram's life and his social experiments. This experiment is very famous. It is to let the participants shock a stranger, and to prove the obedience of human nature to the evil authority by putting pressure on the participants. But since Milgram did this experiment, he has received various blows from academia, and his life has gone from bad to worse. In the movie, there is an elephant and Milgram walking in the same room. Use the English proverb: Elephant in the room to describe some obvious but overlooked facts.
In the women's prison, the elephant became a chicken. Obviously the screenwriter is playing a guessing game with us. The mystery is a chicken, what is the answer?
Some people say that there are drugs in the chicken, some people say that there are 1,000 dollars in the chicken, and some people say that the chicken can be transported after eating it.
The warden of the prison also specifically talked to Pipe, saying that she wanted to impress everyone, so she made up stories here.
The same chicken, everyone's opinion is different. Later, when Pipe called her sister and asked her sister to help connect with the head of their business partner Barney department store. The chicken appeared magically.
Pipe desperately put down the phone call related to her career and went after the chicken. Just to prove to her inmates that she really saw a chicken!
In fact, is it really so difficult to distinguish between a chicken and one's own career rationally? Isn’t it self-evident that the prison experience of a short year or the rest of life is more important?
But once you get to the prison, the strings of reason begin to twist. You no longer think about how to do business, how to build a network, and how to form and maintain a family. Just for a Big Mac to give oral sex to prison guards, a screwdriver is equivalent to five years of losing freedom. All the ordinary things in the free world can make people in prison desperate for it.
The chicken is just one of them.
When Pipe desperately chased the chicken, he finally saw the chicken jump out of the cage easily and he was still in the cage. A series of close-ups showed us a big fence and a small figure.
In fact, the world inside and outside the prison is only separated by a fence. Our laws of survival are so different. Isn’t the world we live in itself also cut into different worlds with different rules of the game? Isn't each of us struggling in this small world?
Chicken farmers will put a few chickens outside the cage to inspire the chickens in the cage and make them feel that they are still alive and hopeful. The gaze of Pipe and the chicken may be the moral.
Perhaps each of us lives in such a world. We look at the chickens that escaped from the cage and envy their lives. And the chickens escaped from the cage. What they saw was a larger and gorgeous cage. They looked around and found that there were chickens outside the cage.
The chicken looks at you, you look at the chicken.
