The basic contemporary interpretation of despair is that there is no hope, no hope, no hope. Generally refers to a complete loss of confidence in something. Just seeing this sentence can feel a deep fear. Maybe just experience it once, you can be beaten for a long time, or even give up. I watched this movie a while ago because of a song, and the content is similar to Shawshank's Redemption. It tells the story of Babylon's escape from prison, which is very shocking from the beginning to the end. The male protagonist has gone from hope to disappointment to despair, rekindled hope, and finally regained his freedom by relying on the belief that he never gave up. I didn't dare to watch the ending for a while, and didn't dare to think what his ending would be like. Maybe despair enough to have hallucinations, and then turn into a butterfly and fly out of the cage. Or be hit hard and lose faith, become a walking corpse in prison, or choose another way to be free. But what I didn't expect at the end was that after experiencing countless despairs, he still hadn't given up, and at the last second he hadn't given up his faith and desire for freedom. The first time he escaped from prison for two years, he learned to be quiet in the dark. The second time he escaped from prison for five years, he still did not give up hope of life. The third time he was betrayed because of the darkness of human nature, he came to the confinement island. His friends who used to "fight side by side" with him all chose to give up, but he still didn't, so he was finally reborn. He knows how to give back and be grateful, kind and righteous. Even more commendable is his determination to never give up. He can really turn into a butterfly, into a shining diamond.
