Papillon was indeed an ordinary prisoner who wanted to escape at first. But as the film progressed, his charm began to show up.
In the rain, in order to save Dykov, he stood up and fought with the prison guards.
In the two years that he was locked up in the trumpet, he showed a tenacious will, did not give up any performance of collapse, and never betrayed his friends.
This is something that ordinary people can hardly do. The Papillon's image is therefore taller.
After returning to the collective prison, he immediately began his second escape plan.
The whole process was ups and downs, and the last three people were all captured.
It is worth mentioning that on the leprosy island, Papillon has shown great courage and sincere respect for leprosy patients.
His image is taller again.
After a small black house closed for five years, the gray-haired Papillon was exiled to grow vegetables on an isolated island.
But he still planned and implemented the third escape. This belief in desire for freedom shocked our hearts.
Combining the above plot, it is not so much that the film is expressing belief in freedom, it is better to say that the film shows the most ideal male personality-bravery, empathy, tenacity, unyielding, and striving for happiness.
Compared with the city-style heroes of "Prison Break" and "Shawshank", Papillon is obviously more straightforward, naive, and less scheming.
But the film does not consider this to be a shortcoming. On the contrary, the film deliberately uses Papillon’s sincerity and straightforwardness to expose the hypocrisy and ruthlessness of human society.
The butterfly collector, the Indian doctor who sold the boat, and the last nun of the monastery, these sanctimonious guys actually have no conscience at all.
On the contrary, who is the target of the film’s praise? The simple and hospitable indigenous people and the loyal lepers, these marginalized figures in society, embody beautiful humanity.
In many cases, only when you have more contact with society can you know how sinister, selfish, and ruthless people are. Betrayal, frame-up, and use are so common in life.
An ordinary person at the bottom of society has to encounter too much injustice, repression, and unprovoked provocations.
But an image like Papillon will inject strength into our hearts.
Sometimes, we often complain that happiness cannot come. We are afraid of the risk of failure, afraid of the eyes of others, and our confidence has been destroyed by setbacks and shame. As a result, we started to follow the trend, we started to
talk about it, we started to laugh at ourselves... But think about it, many times, we really just need a package of coconut shells. Even if the body is bruised and bruised, even if you fail miserably, you should bravely turn your back to them and march towards light, hope, dignity and freedom with your coconut shell.
Papillon has already moved forward in the sea, but how long do we have to waste our lives?
