It's not love, it's not an explosion of character

This is a typical prison break movie, especially for audiences who like smart crime. But what kind of prison did the protagonist cross? If there are no certificates, if all countries have signed extradition treaties, can they still succeed? It can be seen that through continuous improvement of the law, all the loopholes in the law will be filled, but this is really Is it the ultimate goal of mankind, absolutely not. The ultimate goal of human beings should be to establish a self-improving system, but the current law is not like this. He is always pursuing a kind of perfection. It seems that everything that conforms to the law is perfect, and only the law can eliminate all ugliness. Personally, we've basically been flooded with this idea and don't know what else can really liberate us. But this film clearly tells us that the law can be distorted, the truth will always exist, but it cannot be restored through legal means. We must leave enough space for the result of the law, and we must admit that he is powerless. . Perhaps, the so-called freedom is not just about gaining, it may be more free to give up the fetters we have established for freedom.

Damon Pennington: No prison in the world is airtight. Each one has a key. You just have to find it.
John Brennan: How do you do that?
Damon Pennington: A lot of looking. Especially at things that break up the daily routine. Guards get comfortable doing the same thing day in, day out. Something happens, that's when they make mistakes. But when you see it, you have to be ready. You have to have the entire plan already in place even before you know how you're gonna get out of jail. Escaping's easy. The hardest part is staying free.

Damon Pennington: From the time they make the call, the police can have the center of the city sealed tight in fifteen minutes.
John Brennan: How can they be so exact?
Damon Pennington: After 9/11, Homeland Security made every city have a lockdown plan. Downtown Pittsburgh, Philly, Boston, Minneapolis, fifteen minutes. They can do D.C. in under ten. Within 35 minutes, they can have cops at every tollboth on the interstate and be running rolling stops on the secondary roads. They won't have your photograph yet, but they will have your description.
John Brennan: What if you can't get out? 35 minutes is not a lot of time.
Damon Pennington: Then surrender. Because they will shoot you on sight, along with anyone else you're with.
