I believe you have watched a lot of movies about prison escapes . The most well-known of them may be "The Shawshank Redemption" and the American TV series "Prison Break" .
But today, the newspaper elder sister wants to recommend to you a work with a completely different style of prison escape. Showtime has just aired a mini-series.
Escape At Dannemora
The biggest difference between it and other works is that this American drama is based on a true story .
In 2015, a piece of news caused a stir in the United States. Two inmates successfully escaped from the Clinton prison in New York State. You know, Clinton Prison is the most heavily guarded prison in New York State , and it generally holds felons.
After investigation, the police found that the two prisoners who were sentenced to life imprisonment used tools to smash the wall, cut the pipe and get in, and finally escaped from the prison, and even left a note mocking the police...
After the incident, the U.S. police used thousands of police force to search across the state, and finally found two suspects more than ten days later, one was shot dead for resisting arrest, and the other was seriously injured.
Many media have called it a real-life version of "The Shawshank Redemption", but a movie is a movie after all. It is impossible for two prisoners to escape from prison alone. Someone must help them.
Soon, the police facilitated the investigation and found that it was a 50-year-old female employee of the prison who provided them with the tools to help them escape. She maintained a sexual relationship with two prisoners and agreed to their request to bring them the tools. ...
In addition, the report also pointed out that a total of 20 prison guards and employees were more or less involved in the escape incident, consciously or unintentionally. Although the two suspects were eventually arrested, the prisoners sexually bribed the female prison staff to help them escape from prison. It's astonishing in itself...
So, people put this story on the screen, showing us the whole picture of the story in detail from another angle.
The heroine Tilly and her husband both work in prison. The 51-year-old is a supervisor in the tailoring department. Both of their children have also left home. Like many families, the couple lives a mediocre and monotonous life. There is not much communication, nothing more than the trivialities of life...
However, she is not satisfied with the current monotonous life . She likes rock and pop music, and she longs for a life full of passion. On the road, a man talks, laughs and kisses with two young and beautiful women, and she also stops to watch.
When the other party greeted her with a smile, a smile appeared on her face, and her eyes were full of longing and envy. The long shot really tests an actor's acting skills. From envy to frustration to joy to gloom at the beginning, every second on the heroine's face is full of drama!
However, with a bloated body, an aging appearance, and no time to dress up, it is almost impossible for her to live such a life. Her husband has no interest in her at all, and he doesn't even bother to look at her.
So, lonely and helpless, she turned her attention to the group of male prisoners under her . The young and handsome Sweat became the best choice. When she was working, she would call Sweat to the workplace in the name of helping. The two have a quick fight...
Even so, it is enough for Tilly, this short-lived passion has become the precious seasoning in her life , making her life less boring, and she has a sense of being needed and loved by others. Feel...
But Sweat didn't want to go on like this, and he would have been a good engineer if he hadn't gone to jail for killing a police officer. He didn't like everything about this prison, but he asked his family to help him change prison countless times, but what he got was the family's ignorance and indifference .
After being hung up by his family, he was full of despair for the future. He thought his life was over, but at this time, he met another prisoner, Matt.
Matt is a very charismatic person, thoughtful and good at dealing with others . He can paint and often give his works as gifts to others. Even the prison guards have a good relationship with him.
He can easily see through a person and use words to deceive people. He saw Sweat's confusion and helplessness, and Tilly's loneliness and emptiness, so he began to plan how to use these two people to carry out his own escape plan.
Soon, a sudden report letter directly hit "Mandarin Duck", saying that Tilly and Sweat may have an affair, Sweat lost the opportunity to work and earn money, and Tilly, who had just felt "love", was also heartbroken. ..
And Matt also took this opportunity to convince two people to help him execute the prison escape plan . He first found Sweat, who was hopeless and bullied in life, and successfully persuaded him to join his plan.
After that, he played the emotional card on Tilly again. In the face of Matt's fierce attack, Tilly, who had just lost the "little wolf dog", naturally fell again. She did everything she could to help Matt's request.
When Matt asked her for a hacksaw blade on the grounds of making a picture frame, she had no doubts and agreed decisively. At this time, Tilly has completely lost the ability to think, and is immersed in the romantic dream woven by Matt and Sweat...
"Escape from Dannemora" has a total of eight episodes, and the second episode has just aired, wondering how exactly Tilly will help them? What are the specific details of the two people's jailbreak plan? Guys, you can catch up now!
After this American drama was released, many people said that they couldn't bear the looks of the male and female protagonists. After all, compared with Mi Shuai in "Prison Break", these characters in "Escape from Dannemora" are indeed incomparable. Students with severe patients can consider giving up the drama.
But it must be mentioned that this ugly, fat, and unattractive heroine in your mouth is the best supporting actress at the Oscars , Patricia Arquette . When she was young, her appearance was not lost to other women, and she was still very elegant even when she was old.
The reason why she appeared in front of people in such an image was to make herself closer to Tilly in real life. For this reason, she even gained 18 kilograms . It is conceivable that for a woman who is not young , It is very difficult to regain the original weight.
The other actors in the series are also doing their best to make themselves more similar to the characters in the story. The fat and ugly in the eyes of these people, in the eyes of the newspaper sister, is a kind of persistence and persistence in art. Compared with handsome men and beauties, this is the driving force for me to pursue dramas.
Yes, if you want to look good, there really isn't one here. But if you want to witness what is an actor and what is acting, "Escape from Dannemora" will definitely let you watch it!
