If you only watch the opening minute and a half of the first minute and a half of "Escape from Dannemora", you will think this is a literary film.
A swirling bird in the blue sky, the tree-lined town is quiet and peaceful.
However, this is not a literary film, but a crime film, a suspense film, a prison break film. And it's based on real events.
To be honest, three years ago, when I saw the news, I knew that it was very likely to be adapted into a film and television drama, but I didn’t expect it to actually come when I was about to forget it.
This is the miniseries "Escape from Dannemora" launched by SHOWTIME.
On June 6, 2015, an explosive news broke out in New York State, USA.
In a high-security prison in New York state, two convicted murderers drilled through pipes, drilled through the iron walls of their cell walls, and finally climbed down the inner pipes and out of the sewer exit on the street. He also drew cartoons on the wall mocking the police.
The domestic media reported the following
For a time, the whole world was shocked and shocked.
Oh my God! Isn't this a real-life version of The Shawshank Redemption and Prison Break? To actually leave cartoons on the wall satirizing the prison guards, what a arrogant and arrogant prison escape.
This is 2015! Modern America, the modern prison with strict management, is not the last century.
This is a New York State prison for felons, mostly murderers.
Therefore, various police forces, weapons and various facilities are strictly managed, and it claims to be the prison with the strictest security in New York State.
Usually, in the public perception, all vicious criminals are finally declared guilty in court and thrown into prison to serve their sentences.
And now, it's like telling the public that bad guys can escape from prison so arrogantly and premeditatedly.
Is the prison paper? ? ?
All the media is crazy!
Everyone is guessing how they could escape under the nose of the police, and where would they go?
For a while, people were full of fear and curiosity and doubts.
Within a week, however, the police had no clues.
A dozen days later, one criminal was caught and the other was shot dead.
The investigation also gradually surfaced that a female prison staff member, Joyce Mitchell, had a physical relationship with one of the two men, facilitating their escape.
The woman is a staff member of the prison, not a prison guard, but is only responsible for training criminals in sewing skills.
She is fifty-one years old, and is just a very ordinary working-class woman, but under the temptation of two criminals, she has a relationship with them and becomes an accomplice in the escape of the criminals.
The male prisoner seduces the female prison worker, how is this the rhythm of the peach tabloid headlines every minute.
So much so that after the director got the script for the first time, he asked: How much of this is true?
The final script was revised based on the investigation of the case that came out a long time later, and the degree of restoration is quite high. Even the filming location is in that prison.
If you look at looks, then this show doesn't exist.
The rest is all acting, acting, acting.
One of the male protagonists is Benicio del Toro, who is known as the baggy version of Pete, while the female protagonist Patricia Arquette once won a golden statue. She was also sexy and beautiful when she was young, and she will play a 51-year-old aunt in the play. (The heroine was also a sexy stunner when she was young, but she does not hesitate to act ugly in the play, and the modeling degree is quite high)
Patrice, who played Joyce Mitchell in the play, was a young photo and won an Oscar for best supporting actress
Joyce Mitchell is 51 years old. She has been married for more than 20 years and has three children. Her husband also works in this prison. Her main job is to train prisoners to be familiar with sewing machines in the prison's sewing workshop. Weekly production of clothing.
Of course she wasn't pretty, thick, strong, hard, just a normal aunt.
This is a men's prison. In order to prevent the prisoners from being restless, naturally they will not choose sexy and beautiful girls and charming young women.
Any staff member is to be tested and trained.
However, there are surprises in everything.
Among the male prisoners is a 31-year-old inmate, David Sweet. He looks handsome and harmless, and has a pair of skillful hands. He has good sewing skills. He often helps inmates repair sewing machines, change needles, and change thread ends. He is skilled. Far beyond the other prisoners, he essentially became a teaching assistant in Joyce Mitchell's sewing workshop.
When Joyce and Sweet crossed the Chencang secretly, and who seduced who is unknown, but they often entered the computer room for a few minutes by repairing the machine and looking for accessories.
An incoherence that could never have happened in real life happened in a heavily guarded prison.
Joyce Mitchell's husband and wife relationship is similar to that of most people who have been married for 20 years. The husband and wife have become like air, and they are the most familiar strangers under the same roof. Dog, yes, not even walking the dog together, separate.
Do you mean indifference? But the two lived together for twenty years and raised several children together.
Are you saying there is love? It is clear that the flow of emotion is not felt at home.
There was numbness and indifference in each other's eyes.
The old man's husband didn't seem to know how to express his concern for his wife. Even if other colleagues in the prison secretly reminded him to pay attention to his wife, he made a change and suggested taking his wife to a movie.
Sounds good and romantic.
However, the movies he watched were war movies he liked to watch.
The wife couldn't see it at all.
Asking his wife if he was getting too close to a prisoner between movies.
Of course Joyce didn't want to admit it. The two had a big fight, and Joyce slammed the door.
After Joyce went out, he glanced at himself in the glasses when he passed by the mirror in the window of the roadside.
The short blond hair is messy, the face is full of ravines, the skin is dull, and the figure is even more bloated.
Anyway, in this cold weather, everyone is in a hurry, who will pay attention?
But as soon as he turned around, he encountered a visual crit.
Not far away, at the entrance of the cafe, a man who looked elegant and gentleman was chatting and laughing with two young and beautiful women.
Even in winter, even though they wore warm hats and cashmere coats, they were so delicate and fashionable.
She watched intently until the middle-aged man felt a gaze and turned to see her.
At that moment, she was inferior and flustered. She was so crude that she could not wait to drill a hole in front of her young and beautiful peers.
However, the man smiled at her and took off his hat politely.
Then he drove away with the two girls.
There was a smile on the woman's face, then she froze.
That's just a polite response, how could she be as ordinary as her, how could she meet the favor of such a gentle and elegant man.
Looking back on my entire life, maybe I have never been serious and lived a good life for myself.
No one has ever paid attention or cared about him.
And himself, he was just like this, confused, hurried, fat and ugly for most of his life.
How can I live like this.
Such a life is not without regrets.
And Sweet in the prison over there was already tired of his relationship with Joyce, but because of the severe winter weather in Dannemora, he couldn't stand it. He begged his mother on the phone, asking her to write a guarantee and an application, and transfer him to a prison in the south, but everyone here has committed serious crimes, and all close relatives are shunned.
Sweet, who was rejected by his mother and hung up, was on the verge of despair and collapse.
The seeds of escaping here at all costs may have been planted at this time.
At this time, there were only a few people he could rely on.
Therefore, he wanted to hold on to Joyce like a life-saving straw.
Even the day before, he was so disgusted by this old woman's stupidity and flattery that he rudely rejected her.
But with a premeditated mentality, using the fabric left over from making trousers, he made a small mini trouser and gave it to Joyce, expressing his willingness to restore the old one.
It was this kind of small tricks, little things, but Joyce was moved. When he returned home, he kept playing with the little pants, showing a girly smile.
She is in love again.
But it is full of dangers and taboos.
At any time, you may be ruined and fall into the abyss.
Another prisoner, Matt, is like a god in prison.
He is good at oil painting and understands the precise projection of light and shadow.
He is familiar with human nature, and his dealings with prison guards are gentle, playful, humorous and intelligent.
Even the prison guards had to like him.
All prisoners who want to buy high-power fuses, electric stoves, and daily necessities must go through him.
He doesn't have to do the most tiring and heaviest work.
When he was painting, a prisoner gave him a sketch, and he was reprimanded for the inaccurate placement of light and shadow, because he believed that only second-rate painters would say that the wrong light and shadow were intentional. So, he considers himself a first-rate painter?
When he was resting between work, some prisoners made coffee for him, and every time he would pick up on the wrong ratio of sugar to milk.
The prison guards who escorted the prisoners would also ask him to paint a portrait of his girlfriend.
When the prison is suddenly searched, he will be notified in advance to hide his things, and he will be taken to hide in other places first, and then he will be brought back to the cell after the inspection.
It was also when he was taken to the warehouse that he accidentally discovered those pipes. A path to freedom.
No matter how comfortable he was in prison, he couldn't compare to freedom.
No matter how good his relationship with the prison guards was, no one dared to let him out.
Even though he thought those people were stupid with zero IQ, he was still a prisoner.
With the idea of jailbreaking and the possibility of jailbreaking, the rest is careful planning and implementation.
So, Matt and Swett teamed up to seduce Joyce, making her an undercover agent, and finally made adequate preparations for the escape.
Their original plan was that Joyce would drive to meet them with sleeping bags, food, guns, flashlights, etc. as they climbed out of the drain, and that night they gave Joyce a drug to give Her husband took it to make him sleepy, and Joyce could take the opportunity to drive out.
In the plan, when Joyce picks up Matt and Swett, they will return to Joyce's house and kill Joyce's husband.
In the end, on the night of the plan's implementation, Joyce's last conscience remained intact and he did not appear.
The two criminals fled to the U.S.-Canada border one after another, where one was captured and the other was shot dead.
Was Joyce the only accomplice in this case?
I don't think so.
Dannemora's prison was long gone before Matt and Thwait escaped.
Although there has never been an escape incident in the past 150 years, it can be seen that in the prison, lax management, collusion with prisoners to sell daily necessities and even illegal drugs has become a norm. The prisoners even know clearly which prison guard will come to check. Which cells are strictly checked and which ones are not, and how to deal with them.
Others have long discovered that Joyce and Sweet have an improper relationship, but they did not report it directly, as if they were talking about it as a peach joke.
I'm not saying Joyce is innocent.
Of course she was terribly wrong.
In a closed system like a prison, she enjoys a particularity of power and uses it against Swette.
First, she was the only woman in the group of male prisoners.
In the real world, a 31-year-old adult man and a 51-year-old woman are unlikely to be sexual partners unless there is a huge difference in class and wealth.
But in the very special closed environment of prison, Joyce happens to be a rare female existence, and at the same time she has small but absolute power. She can deploy jobs during working hours and arrange different tasks.
For disobedient prisoners, she could make a complaint to get the prisoner punished.
She didn't even need to pay any money to get the male prisoner into submission.
For example, it was just an ordinary donut with jam. Because of the scarcity in prison, she felt that she could give it to Swett as a gift.
But it's all felony murderers here, all demons.
Swett and Matt quickly took control of the brainless woman.
They even asked her to take naked pictures and give them to them, and they also promised to take portraits of her three children. Excuse me, one day they escaped from prison. They are going to ask your children for another vote. Do you agree?
During the trial, the judge asked Joyce why he helped the two murderers?
Joyce's answer was pathetic and pathetic.
"Because the two of them made me feel that I was different and that I had someone to care about."
"It feels really good to be cared for"
"Makes me feel that I am also beautiful and attractive."
Does inner and emotional desertion and emptiness really allow people to do such absurd and crazy things?
If you think Joyce's case is too extreme and absurd, then the following social news should be said to be extremely true.
There is a kind of old scumbag that specializes in a class of old aunts:
More than 60 years old, divorced or widowed, and still sick, time is short.
This type of auntie often has only one child and cannot always accompany her. The old scumbag is especially concerned, taking her aunt to travel around the mountains and water, and instigating the relationship between her children. Love.
Then he changed all the deposits and real estate into his will, and gave the money and house to this man.
If we just come here, we can say that it is her right to do with her property, even if the real estate in Shanghai is worth tens of millions, although it is given to others out of thin air, it will not be left to her children. Happy, with someone to accompany us, then we have nothing to say.
But is this really true love?
After getting my aunt's life savings, I immediately used it to support the young and beautiful young lady, and the support fee was even more generous. Because it is not hard-earned, it is naturally squandered, and after tasting the sweetness, it immediately goes to look for the next target.
It is said that I accompanied my aunt through the last journey in the name of love, but no matter how I look at it, it seems to be the true inheritance of the PUA technique, using those routines and tricks to cheat marriage and cheat money, just like the PUA study that was exposed some time ago and caused heated discussions. In the same way, the well-established personalities and provocative routines are all for the purpose of introducing women into traps step by step, so as to carry out psychological manipulation, automatically making women offer money and houses, and then abandoning and attacking, some more scumbags will induce women to be suicide.
Specific PUA learning routines can be searched by yourself.
Many highly educated women who are not yet in the world are still deceived by low-education and low-income swindlers who are familiar with PUA.
In the face of such social news, I don't know what to say about the choice of the old aunt, should I condemn it? To a certain extent, I can understand it, and I can't bear to condemn it.
Of course, the elderly have the right to love, but the premise of love at any time is mutual respect and equality, not the use and deception under the interests.
When you are old, you should be more wise and determined, and arrange everything for yourself in advance, instead of disregarding all dangers for a little warmth.
Woman, please don't be a moth to the flame.
