7, I am interested. Because I just watched one of his movie "Halfway Killer" before, it was really boring, and Harry Potter's favorability suddenly decreased a lot, and now there is another film, which may be able to shine. This movie is about a prison break. When it comes to prison break, you may think of the American drama "Prison Break". It's so addicting, all I can guess is that it is proficient in various technologies, unforgettable, super memory and cool movements. This is also one of the reasons that attracted me to watch this film. The imaginary prison escape plot, but it is a very down-to-earth story, which makes people feel real and actionable. At the same time, the design of bridges and scenes is also exciting, and the protagonist can breathe. , Emotions such as fun, tension, excitement, fear, and concentration also make you experience the feeling of a prison break. Tim and Stephen were originally white. They were regarded as terrorists and imprisoned for participating in the anti-apartheid action of the African People's Congress in 1978. It can be seen that the protagonist is not that kind of villain, but has a high ideological consciousness and is anti-racial discrimination. The good old man, Tim's girlfriend is also a black man, but he was arrested and jailed by the white police in South Africa. Tim has had the idea of ​​escaping from the moment he stepped into the prison. At that time, the prison was still very old-fashioned. There were many iron doors, and the prison guards wore a lot of keys. Tim was in the room thinking about how to get out, staring at the keyhole in the door, thinking about making the key himself. He told Stephen about the idea, and Stephen must have believed in his buddies, and then they went to see the veteran who was going to be in prison for 60 years, hoping to join them, and because the veteran had been in prison for many years, for It's no surprise that new friends want to escape from prison, because no one has succeeded. After a week or two, those thoughts vanished. So for Tim and their proposal, the old man smiled faintly and wished them good luck. And another Frenchman in the prison, Mark, is very interested. He doesn't want to stay here obediently, he wants to go out, he wants to see his children. So the three hit it off and started the road to escape. The film also begins to tell from the first day, the 32nd day, the 159th day, and the Nth day, which also echoes the "two weeks theory" of the previous veterans. The method of making keys from blocks, exhausting the resources in the prison, making keys one by one, making seven or eight keys, and testing the way to escape from prison time and time again in the middle of the night, this is also a particularly worrying place, they opened the first one Door, to the second door, the Nth door... Excited, nervous, excited. At the risk of being approached by prison guards To identify the risk, hold your breath and deal with it calmly. Finally, most of the prison guards were not on duty during the day. I was also very surprised. The video did not make it clear why they were not on duty that day? One fat prison guard staggered. Then they escaped from the prison, and it happened that the gate of the prison was not closed, and there was a street outside with pedestrians coming and going. This is also very strange to me. The outside of this prison is so "bustling", which is completely different from the movie prison in my impression. Moreover, after the three people came out of the prison gate, the people who came and went did not find out, just like that, the prison escape was completed! I really can't imagine that this is an adaptation of a true event, and that Mark, one of the three, is actually a prototype. My God, this also confirms the rudimentary reality of the South African prison at that time, so he escaped the prison. But no matter how simple or complicated, there are always people who dare to solve problems first. Just like when they were questioned by others in prison, Stephen repeatedly emphasized: "No one can do it doesn't mean it can't be done." The will and the ability to solve problems have created such a down-to-earth prison escape story. After they went out, they continued to join the anti-racism team. With their will and ability, they might be able to contribute a little to the liberation of black people in South Africa! No matter what you do, even if no one has done it, just focus on it and all your questions will be answered!
