"Babylon"

I will not be content with the status quo, nor will I live on.

I never gave up my original will, no matter how bumpy the road was.

Papillon (2017)
7.4
2017 / US Czech Spain / Drama Crime Mystery / Michael Noel / Charlie Hunnam Rami Malek

In order to ease the depressiveness of the plot,

This show turned me into a love movie.

The poignant love between Papillon and Degas,

Degas gave all the money to Papillon,

Papillon did not leave him in every difficult situation,

Especially at the end of the play,

Degas doesn't go, it's not what he said, he's used to Alcatraz,

What's more, I'm afraid it will drag down Papillon.

Eternal love.

But going back to the movie itself, the plot is a bit flat.

In 2 and 5 years of closed life,

No light, starvation, no sound,

That kind of despair is hard to imagine,

And the movie was even replaced by a segment.

It may be left blank for our imagination,

After repeated failures,

and hold on to the belief in freedom,

It's a rare thing.
