Today, countless people discussing "Prison Break" on the Internet have to look at it from two aspects. One is its enthusiastic effect. I think there should be a reason for something recommended by many people, because this reason is worth looking at; the second is its popularity: in fact, to live among people, there must be some common topics, so since it is popular, understand This topic is necessary.
"Redemption" and "Prison Break" are similar, but very different.
Let me talk about the same place first. First of all, the characters of the protagonists all look alike. Generally speaking, they belong to the kind of taciturn but high IQ. Of course, only this kind of person can survive in the extremely dark environment of the prison in a dignified way. Of course, only such a calm person can gradually implement his own escape plan in an orderly manner. The most similar place is the look in Mike and Andy's eyes. They have always been calm and firm in the stormy environment.
Then there are many similarities in the play. For example, escape from prison, both of which are digging walls, digging tunnels, drilling underground pipes or drilling ceilings, and also spreading pebbles on the grass, buying related management personnel in prison, and so on. It's just because of the length limitation of movies and TV series, the difference between fighting alone and group combat, so even the same details are expressed in different ways. TV dramas certainly satisfy the audience's mood in this respect.
Of course, there is also a very important point. Before going to jail, these two people are persons with identities. The former is a successful banker, and the latter is a competent structural engineer. Their image and temperament and reasons for action are emotionally competent. It aroused the audience's understanding, not to mention that Andy was seeking freedom to restore his innocence, nor that Mike's escape from prison for the sake of brotherhood. In short, a non-legal support behavior in a normal psychological sense can get a reasonable basis for the existence of the plot.
Then talk about the difference between the two.
The tone of "Salvation" is to suppress first and then rise. The main part of the play is just to explain Andy's life in prison. Although Xiao has mentioned the idea of jailbreaking, almost no one knows the final outcome before the end. So when the warden angrily slammed a small stone at the beautiful poster, the truth came out. The audience's turbulent emotions were gushing out at that moment, which is really surprising. So "Redemption" is such an amazing climax lurking in a basically calm atmosphere, so after watching it, it is easy to make people feel excited, and the admiration for the protagonist is like a surging river. What's more, he escaped smoothly, without the hardship and downfall of exile, and without a sloppy tail at all, so the ending was very clean. It is more about leaving the feeling after the completion of the movie, which is endlessly memorable.
"Prison Break" has always been the first to rise and then the fall. The preparations for the escape began from the beginning, and because of Mike’s perfect preparation, it has been very smooth. So although the heartstrings were in a state of heartstrings during the implementation of the prison escape in the first season, I was in a state of understanding of American movies and American spirit. , Knowing that heroes are basically able to turn dangers into trivialities and survive safely. So nervous emotions are only momentary. The second season is mainly in a state of fleeing, basically in a state of depression, making those who fled, including the extremely quiet and intelligent Mike in the first season, seem ignorant. Therefore, overall, the second season did not look so good, not to mention the psychology of ordinary people, the most unlikely heroes are in trouble. Mike, who has leadership in the first season, seemed a bit mediocre and at a loss in the second season, so fans Very disappointed.
Then the main difference is of course the main storyline. The main line on "Redemption" is basically just that Andy used his own wisdom to punish the warden. Of course, this is also the short length of the movie that does not allow too many main lines in the play. There are many lines in "Prison Break", which is quite complicated. Not to mention that there are two lines in government departments, one line is the characters in the escape, and many stories are created because of their mutual relationship. The main line will appear to be richer, of course, it will also obliterate the dazzlingness of the protagonist, and it will also make the plot fall into some mediocre loopholes. Moreover, for the feelings of ordinary people, they all hope to see more hope and more success. The first season is quite exciting and exciting, but the main line of fleeing in the second season will make people feel discouraged and start to reflect on the first season. The behavior of those people, so after watching for a long time, you will feel that the TV series gradually loses its excitement. However, many have its other advantages. People of various colors appear on the stage, reflecting the various status quo in society from many angles, and even allowing people from multiple angles to feel the complex aspects of life.
There is also a huge difference in emotional performance. In "Redemption", there are not too many characters who have an emotional relationship with Andy, so the emotional shock of the film appears to be relatively ordinary. It can be said that the focus of its performance is on the relentless spirit of pursuing freedom, not on the true feelings between people and others. The deep feelings between people in "Prison Break" are very moving. For example, the brotherhood between Mike and Lincoln. Sometimes the exchanges between the two have only a few ordinary words, but they are very moving. Such a similar family relationship is a major force in the play. It can be repeated many times. Tears filled the eyes. There is also a little auxiliary love. The emotional communication between Mike and the prison doctor Sarah is often through the eyes, and there are very few words that even shake the soul, but it is very beautiful and can move people. Many escaped Fans want to see Mike, who is handsome, smart and calm, and like this TV series. Therefore, the protagonist's feeling is very important to the success of the script.
In addition, the unity of justice and evil is different. It can be said that neither of these two films can be considered from a legal perspective. In "Redemption", what is promoted more is that the positive power eventually wins the negative power, which is very encouraging. However, in "Prison Break", the pros and cons are not so pure. The pros and cons are not so pure in many cases, such as robbery and kidnapping, etc., while the opposing people continue to kill people in the process, and occasionally reveal them. There are some rare touching true emotions, where the black and white aspects of human nature can hardly be distinguished from the moral and legal aspects. It should be said that in the expression of human feelings, the former is relatively simple, while the latter is truly complex and comprehensive. Because of this, the latter loses a lot of idealism, whether it reflects reality or human feelings, it is much heavier.
The reason for the comparison is actually because the two are wonderful enough. Although there are some similarities in the blueprint, they still leave quite a different feeling. The former makes people excited and makes people never lose hope in adversity, while the latter makes people remember Mike's blue charming and calm eyes, and therefore feel warm, and hope and bless them.
