It's a conspiracy, full of meaning, like the title of the movie. The beginning of the story is to recall the story in Roland's tone. Let me first analyze his age. There are two possibilities. One is that the director did not intend to draw him old on purpose, and there is almost no makeup in this film. The age at which he was released from prison did not seem to the director to be the point, the point was the story's understanding of human nature. The second is that Roland escaped from prison, because he had 4 prison escape experiences, and he succeeded 3 times. Prison escape may be as simple as the protagonist of Escape from the Shell, and it is the same prison, familiar with it. Why the same prison? Because he is the planner and the main executor in the movie, he has a very clear grasp of the structure of the prison, and at first glance, he has escaped from prison many times. Then you may ask the most important question, how to explain whether Roland is the real betrayal? Indeed, this question has troubled me for a while, but after scrutiny it is not difficult to find that he is not a betrayal. There are two reasons for those who support him as a traitor: First, his age at the beginning. 2. His last classic sentence "Poor Gaspard" seems to be that Roland has manipulated everything and made all the plans flawlessly, well, if it is a 21st century movie, maybe it will be like this. Below I will tell you why.
In fact, the point of the whole story should be analyzed from the plot where Gaspard walked back to Building 8 unintentionally after seeing the innocent and lovely sister-in-law. Why did the director arrange this abrupt and strange plot, wouldn't it be nice to let him walk back to Building 11? In fact, I think it has the effect of strengthening the main line. 1. It proves that Gaspard has lived in Building 8 for quite some time. I remember when I was in elementary school, from grade 5 to grade 6, one downstairs and one upstairs. When I'm not paying attention, I always go to the third floor and then go upstairs when I realize it's wrong. Habits are hard to change, and this is evidence that detectives often use when they make reasonable reasoning.
Second, this building is not under repair. Maybe you ask, maybe the director didn't show it or it's done? First of all, this is a movie with a delicate plot. From the details and the depth of the story, it can no longer make people stupid and not thinking about it after watching it. Why is it delicate, I will talk about it later. Why was it finished so soon, and if it was finished, why did Gaspard not go back to live, but stayed in Building 11 to huddle with them. Are you going to leave this whole building empty? Do we still need guards in empty buildings?
3. The director arranged for Gaspard to meet the warden to deepen his worship and pursuit of material things. He has nothing to impress others, only a gold lighter (as long as 998, well off topic.) And he wants to It's not hard to see a good impression on the warden.
So why explain these three things? Because then there will be the conspiracy I'm talking about.
Gaspard is a little white-faced, who conquered a rich woman with his good education and cultivation. But this rich woman was going to marry a local official, and he had sex with his sister-in-law, and he injured her wife. Seeing that his vanity and money were about to disappear, he beat his wife to death and "continues" to inherit heritage. but failed. She and the local official hired a good lawyer to file a lawsuit, and told him that the lawsuit would not be withdrawn. But after all, it is a lawsuit, and there is a probability of winning or losing. But the money gave her a 100% chance of winning and she and the magistrate bought the warden.
This is how the story begins. The warden arranged for him to leave Building 8, which was not to be repaired, and found a gold lighter from it, and began to interrogate him why he had to bring it, thus highlighting the material desire and weakness of the cover. Fill up the character. He was then taken to the escape foursome in Building 11. When you get here, you will ask again, why is it so coincidental that someone is going to escape from prison and you are caught. This is also a conspiracy, why, remember that the four of them said they would all face prosecution in the near future? And one of the key figures, Roland, had escaped from prison three times, and it is conceivable that after each escape, he still returned to the prison. For this type of habitual offender, the possibility of a fourth escape is very high, so he was placed in this group of four. You may say that this is speculation, how do you know that he is going to escape from prison, have you found that two times in the movie, the prison guards deliberately entered the door suddenly to check, and Manu and the others said why they kept checking them, which shows that their room has been Was closely watched by the warden. Then Manu said, "Hurry up and dig the tunnel, either today or tomorrow", which means that they were charged the day after they were arrested, and the night they were about to escape was their last chance. Putting Gaspard in is just trying to take advantage of his weakness and kill two birds with one stone. Come and report Roland to stop them from escaping. Secondly, the crime of escape from prison will put him to death. And why did the warden want to talk to Gaspard the day before they were charged, because it was time to pull the net and collect the fish. It was 12 noon, and it was 2 pm. Guy has said over and over about the escape from prison. Don't you think that they are talking about life and dreams. It doesn't match the theme. Does Guy have a dream in life? In the end, his wife didn't withdraw the lawsuit at all. From the fact that the warden didn't even see Gai and the warden suddenly mentioned Gai's wife's love for a local official when talking to him, it can be concluded that no one knew about the private plot, Guy is simply a pawn. The ending turned out to be a happy event for all but these five people.
The subtlety of the plot is difficult for you to observe. I don't know if you have noticed that the clock strikes at key points in the movie. With the calculation of hourglass we can deduce the time of their daily jailbreak. Rowland said that the sewer said he would go there in 28 minutes, which is about 30 minutes every time the hourglass needs to be turned upside down. He drew a diagonal cross on the slate where he led two other people to smash the wall, which means 30 minutes, and when he and Manu smashed the wall again, he drew 6 crosses and 12 diagonal crosses, which means 6 hours , he and Manu said, "It's 2 o'clock (of course it's the early morning), we'll go back", which means that it takes 6 and a half hours for them to return to the prison from the completion of smashing the wall every day, so their departure time is 8 o'clock in the evening. When they finally escaped and were caught, you can listen carefully to the clock, it was 8 o'clock in the evening. They planned to leave at that time, but they had already been betrayed by the soulless Gaspard, who had already been seen through by the warden, who was too easy to take advantage of. In the end, Gaspard was forcefully torn off his tie and locked in Room 7. Roland said "poor Gaspard", and then there is another detail, that is, Roland bit the root after saying that. This action was made by the actor and director with full knowledge of the character. This micro-expression is An actor cannot do anything casually.
Does anyone else say that when they were digging the concrete floor of the prison cell, there was so much noise that the guards couldn't hear it? The director has actually explained that when Gaspard was led into the corridor of the four-person prison house, the sound of the digging of the toilet was exactly the same as theirs, and it was opposite their prison house, and the prison guards were in the corridor. Only echoes could be heard. What about other prisons? Well, didn't they start by sending their modus operandi through the window? In fact, other prisons already know, what the director wants to show here is that the people who are locked in are not necessarily those who lack goodwill, but the people who are closest to the bars every day sell their souls to the devil. Remember what those two guards said when they were patrolling around the cellar? They play with the law as a shield for moral loss. In the end, they were caught, and after the plan went bust, the entire Building 8 was blown up. Their failure is a loss of hope. Remember the look in everyone's eyes when Batman climbed that cliff cave? There is only one kind of look that desires to survive.
In the black hole, there is no light, only a dirty swamp. Seeing this, do you still think Roland is a betrayal? Just imagine, if Gaspard hadn't told the warden about their escape plan at the end, wouldn't this movie have been so memorable to us?

    It's definitely better than Shawshank, but the ending is so frustrating.
