The title of the film that I have read several times and can't read it well

The movie "The Birdkeeper of Alcatraz" has been in my favorites for a long time, and I have never been interested in watching it. It is a prison movie, will it be a prison break story, and it is an old movie, black and white. But after watching it, I was deeply shocked, worthy of such a high score.

The story is very simple, an extraordinary story of a felon in prison. The reason is that he murdered, and when he arrived at the prison, the prison guards insulted his mother, and then killed him, and because his mother went to the president to plead, he changed his death sentence to life imprisonment. After being instructed by the guards and after reflection, his temperament changed greatly. Raise birds in the cell. Another bird fell ill, and in order to see a doctor, he read books, wrote books, and became a pathologist; after a long time in prison, he put forward his own views on prison management and wrote books. This is just someone who has read the third grade, more powerful than Shawshank's redemption. Extraordinary sense of self-management, skilled craftsmen, super self-learning ability, insight into people's hearts, filial sons, etc. It also responded to a recent popular sentence: resignation can directly affect the talents who land on the moon in China, and only deserve to stay at the bottom of state-owned enterprises. Such outstanding people deserve only to be in prison.

But don't forget that he was the murderer who killed 2 people, and his later inventions can be worth 2 lives. He is not like the male protagonist in Xiao Shen Ke Li was wronged. This is a problem, it is better to save one life, or to kill one person to warn others. There have been many such cases recently, such as the Dongge incident. He raped a person compared with his contribution to the society. What impact does arresting him have on society? Another example: the Lushan incident and the rape case were settled through mediation by the procuratorate.

When we watch a movie, as the plot progresses, it will affect our judgment of right and wrong. For example, watching "The Godfather", we have a new view of the underworld. Also watching "Birdman", we will have sympathy and support for this murderer. That's the power of movies.

Birdman of Alcatraz quotes

  • Robert Stroud: Why did you come 2,000 miles for nothing? Just to see me once a month?

    Stella Johnson: I came because I'm your wife, that's why. Bob, the only life I got is you.

    Robert Stroud: Then you've got a damned poor future, old girl. I'm never gonna get outta here.

    Stella Johnson: I could get a job in a factory. I could write letters every day. It would be like old times.

    Robert Stroud: You'd wither away and die waiting. Forget it, Stell. It's the end of the line.

    Robert Stroud: Please, Bob.

    Robert Stroud: Now, listen to me. Listen carefully. You fought your heart out for me. You fought your heart out for me, but the sun's gone down. And don't look for it to rise again. I want you to pretend that I'm a dead man. I want you to pretend... that you're standin' on my grave.

  • Harvey Shoemaker: Bob... I've been sent here as a delegate of the Bureau to make you an offer.

    Robert Stroud: That's what I've been waiting for.

    Harvey Shoemaker: Now the bureau is willing to let you keep your birds. You can even sell 'em. Now this is their official proposal. You can continue to raise and sell the birds, but the profits will be turned over to the prison welfare fund, and you will receive a salary in the form of a share of the profits. I consider that quite a generous offer under the circumstances. Frankly, it's more than I would have offered, had I the authority.

    Albert Comstock: Well, Stroud?

    Robert Stroud: Let me see if I understand you. You're proposing that the United States government go into the canary-bird business. That's against private enterprise. You sound like a Bolshevik, Harvey.

    Albert Comstock: You have no legal right to raise canaries at all.

    Robert Stroud: I know. Rule 60 of the Federal Bureau of Prisons Manual: "An inmate cannot be permitted to operate a business, no matter how legitimate, while in prison." That right?

    Harvey Shoemaker: You quoted it correctly.

    Robert Stroud: That's what I thought. That's why I'm confused. The rule says I can't have a business. You say I can, provided I give you the profits. It's reinventing regulations. It's not like you.

    Albert Comstock: Mr. Shoemaker came all the way from Washington to try to work out a plan so you can keep your blasted birds.

    Robert Stroud: Don't con an old con, Warden. He came because of public opinion, and you know it. 50,000 signatures on a petition. Congressmen jumping all over MacLeod's back. I think I got you over a barrel, Harvey.

    Harvey Shoemaker: Is that you last word?

    Robert Stroud: I could use more room. For my birds.
