The truth, the good and the beautiful country comedy movie

After watching this movie, I was actually stunned. This movie is a bit "silly" and a bit "earthy". It's more of a musical than a comedy. The music interspersed in the film is full of country music and church music. For someone like me who likes to listen to music, it's a treasure.

As for why I watched "Three Kings from Prison Escape", it was actually because I just finished watching "The Living Roommate" a few days ago and wanted to watch a similar prison comedy movie, but I didn't expect to watch a country music film in the end. It's amazing.

At the beginning of the movie, the three foolish prisoners started to escape from prison. Messages like this oracle are always ambiguous, like a riddle with multiple meanings, which can be understood from either side. When I saw this, I almost understood the film's routine, which should reveal a state of consciousness through the actions and encounters of the protagonist.

The various characters encountered by the latter three idiots have been dramatized, none of them are normal people, and they are very absurd. To be honest, the joke may not be universal, which is a bit lacking. But the absurdity keeps the film from degenerating into a hard-boiled didactic film, allowing viewers to view the protagonist's journey with a lighthearted attitude.

It may not be a good movie if the viewer wants to watch a story, but if you want to listen to music or want to easily understand life, I highly recommend it, the music is really good. Especially the songs that Sansha and the black guitarist sang when they were recording at the Fat House, they were very, very good.

    When I just watched this film, I felt that the clouds and mists were not very clear, and I couldn't find the smile at all. I slowly understood its black humor in the later stage, and then I fell into the plot unconsciously, and I had to sigh. This classic movie makes sense. (PS: The songs sung by these three fugitives are so good~)

  • Ulysses Everett McGill: I don't get it, Big Dan.

  • Ulysses Everett McGill: Yessir, the South is gonna change. Everything's gonna be put on electricity and run on a paying basis. Out with old spiritual mumbo-jumbo, the superstition and the backward ways. We're gonna see a brave new world where they run everyone a wire and hook us all up to the grid. Yessir, a veritable age of reason - like they had in France. And not a moment too soon...
