Imagination Protects Us

OMG originally saw that it was about to end and was going to sentence it to death, thinking it was a movie with more form than content... It's
about a group of people breaking out of prison, and the time clues are interspersed back and forth. Yes, the actors are very interesting, especially the old man Brian Cox, the male lead, but there are too many characters and the various things that happened in the middle were so condensed that I was a little dizzy, and the time was intertwined (×this Can the word be used like this...?), and I really can't see what there is to talk about for more than an hour with a group of people breaking out of prison... I'm a little secretly scolded for pretending to be B...
But! Just the last ten minutes! Although there are all kinds of foreshadowing ahead, I have also made such an idea, but when the ending came out, the last paragraph of dialogue and several scenes, the little girl who had not grown up and lived in the photo used red and green under the gray tone. It's really shocking that the sub is protruding... So the style of this movie has been improved by several grades... In
addition, there are many small details that echo before and after, which are very delicate...
It's still worth watching... Sigh But the last ten minutes gave me a lot of energy... I'm still suffocated in the front...
Oh and what song is that Coldplay song at the end? It sounds familiar, but I can't find a song called the escapist in their album...
[I rely on me just to avoid spoilers. It's really hard...

    So, will the director's next work also talk about captivity and escape...

    Except for the plot conflict in the middle, which is a bit cliché, photography, editing, music and other aspects are very powerful

The Escapist quotes

  • Rizza: You don't have much, but you just subtracted from what's left.

  • Frank Perry: I'm free now. I'm old now.

    Rizza: Free? You've got an imagination.

    Frank Perry: Imagination is what protects us. It's what keeps us alive. You're still living, but less and less. Inside, you own this place. You run things. You're the king. But look around you, what do you see? It's all pretend. It's all made up. You own nothing. Nothing except sorrows and bars and rusty metal staircases. You'll never live, because outside you don't exist. No one will remember you. No one.

    Rizza: You behave.

    Frank Perry: Behaving myself is what's kept me living.
