His name means butterfly. , a free creature. The film is average, but the story is more contagious than the "Shinshaw Redemption", which is a story of a strong desire for freedom.
Let's not talk about the authenticity of the story, but in such a hellish environment, I have a belief in my heart to live and escape from bondage, which moved me. Inspirational story of a criminal, something we have at our fingertips that he spent his entire life longing for.
I can always feel that Papillon's desire to be free is unabated. I want to give up my fate and resist, and when he conforms to the destiny, he chooses to jump down. There is also the actor Hunnam. I can feel that he has paid a lot for this movie. He took off his clothes during the confinement, and he looked so skinny. He was so thin that he was about to catch up with me. How long does it take to go on a diet? How thin is it, it's really a man.
The director's autobiographical style basically reproduces the old version, which is not interesting, and does not focus on portraying Papillon's strong belief in freedom. It's an autobiographical film, the front is delicate and the back is hasty, which makes the whole film feel a little anticlimactic. The paragraph from the third confinement to Alcatraz is obviously omitted too much, and the original Babylon can end by jumping off the cliff, with some explanatory text. Either the shot of going ashore, the shot of Papillon laughing, the back is inexplicably handled so casually. You don't even give us a look at what Papillon so desperately desires.
There is also a fatal point. The actors are too modern, and they are not like people from the last century. There is no sense of strangeness, distance, and retro feeling that come from the surface. They are all too familiar, whether it is expressions or actions. is the line. Not to mention watching old movies, you can feel that there is still a big difference between people of which era and modern people. In fact, foreign films have this common problem. The most classic I have seen is "Farewell My Concubine" that can do this. Jiang Liwen, who portrays a lowly prostitute, can feel the same from the characters in the troupe, children to supporting roles. The breath of a historical figure.
In short, the recording style is a little more, the artistry is less, the story is very powerful, the film is mediocre and mediocre, and it did not have the shocking power it should have. It is still a regrettable film. Good story, I hope the next director of the remake can manage it well.
