It took nearly two hours to watch it, and I didn't feel much touched. The only shining point of the whole film is undoubtedly the male protagonist's unyielding perseverance to yearn for a free life. He escaped from the first attack on the guard and was arrested and imprisoned in a solitary cell for two years. Afterwards, he was still full of fighting spirit. By the time the four of them escaped from prison in partnership, they were caught again because they were thinking of their companions. What’s more, they survived five years of prison that no one had done before, and finally got caught on Alcatraz Island. The companion has lost his fighting spirit and is integrated with everything here, but the male protagonist is still looking for a way to escape from his life, and finally escaped successfully, and wrote a book, leaving a story that he will never give up.
After talking about the advantages, let's talk about the disadvantages. The first point is the character building. The male protagonist has changed from a poor person to a person who can't pay the rent. After entering the prison, he instantly incarnates as a spiritual leader. Tell me this kind of person can't pay rent in society? Then who framed the male protagonist? Going out to seek revenge on this person with the character of the male protagonist is definitely the first priority. How is the male protagonist's girlfriend after so many years? According to the first senses, the biggest motivation for the male protagonist to escape from prison is his girlfriend. When he laughs at his companion's wife for remarrying, what does his own girlfriend say? These plots are not described. It is precisely these plots that can promote the change and sublimation of the characters. The other characters in the play are even more featureless, optional, and there is not even a brilliant villain, which makes people look more and more boring.
Forget it, don't go to the detailed evaluation, it's a waste of time, and it fails.
