To be honest, it is also a prison break, but "Babylong" and "Shawshank's Redemption" are too technically lacking. Of course, it is a far cry from the precise design of Michael in "Prison Break". In my opinion, in "Papillon", Henry Charlie is simply using his life to escape from prison, relying entirely on tenacious vitality. Perhaps after abandoning technology, the value of life will become more and more obvious.
Seeing Henry Charlie being locked up in a confinement cell and living on rice soup every day, I didn't doubt that he would betray his friends, but I doubted how he would survive this almost impossible life. When I saw the insects in his hands, I suddenly realized. This film taught me a truth: the greatest pain in life is that a person who yearns for freedom is locked in a small room and slowly tortured until he grows old. Fortunately, Henry Charlier will not succumb.
After the failed escape, it was confinement again. Some people say that Henry Charlie cares about the escape process, even if he doesn't know the result, he must always get rid of the shackles. This sentence is right, it can only show that he has a free heart in his heart. This heart does not belong to any place, or only a place he thinks can be stopped, but that place is definitely not a Guyana prison or Alcatraz. Even though the scenery there is very beautiful, you can grow your own vegetables, and there is a very familiar old friend as a neighbor.
At the end of the film, after a failed experiment, Henry Charlier jumped down holding a bag of coconut shells without hesitation. Jumping from a high cliff into the rough sea, this scene lingers in my mind, this is one of the most classic scenes in movie history, forever. At that moment, the heart longing for freedom was finally liberated, just like the butterfly on his chest flying into the distance, the phrase "Dog bastard, I'm still alive" is the best response to all restraints.
