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.
