Never at ease

Watched a very old film. It is hard to imagine a person like Papillon.
The beginning of the story is that he was mistakenly convicted of killing the pimp and arrived on the island. When a friend is frustrated, he helps, ran away, was arrested, and detained, so hungry that only half his life was left, but he thought about it but never betrayed his friend.
Bobby has always said that he is innocent, but that wasted dream, his sin, is also the sin of almost every one of us. After that, Daiger told him that he had the opportunity to make arrangements and only tolerated it for three years. However, it was Papillon and refused.
Papillon’s escape route is a support for the infinite pursuit of freedom, and will never give in to life. Difficulties and obstacles, I hope, that time, he succeeded.
Even when his hair is gray, he can get along with his friends and cultivate on the island.
At the end of the story, Papillon once again invited Louis to travel with him. Louis said that I had no money, and the money was taken away. Yes, "you can't buy freedom with money". Maybe Louis is us who are entangled in mundane affairs, without the courage to pursue, let alone possibly fail again. And in life, how many silly hard work hope to buy freedom with money? And I imagined what a wonderful life might be.
The last pursuit is a jump full of courage. How brave.
Louis watched him as he walked away, flipping away in the waves, tears in his eyes.
At the end of the story, Papillon won in the narration and finally lived the life of a free man. It's comforting.

    A small room can be made into a movie for modern people, so it is really shocking to watch Papillon with such a grand narrative and so full of scenes that were filmed 40 years ago. The most visible scenery is the jungle and the sea, a symbol of freedom and vitality. The road to growth, the road to love and the road to escape must be accompanied by someone to be lively, whether it is a good person or a drag. Dustin is so natural to die! What I watched for Mao was the two and a half hour version, where did the other half an hour go...

    I forgot to add this film. It's really awesome. It has enough length and enough twists to make the film express the theme so much. The actors are also very attractive. If you only look at the first half, there is still a bit of dirt, anyway, the more you look, the more powerful it is! Be stingy with 5 stars now, otherwise it would be 5 stars.

Papillon quotes

  • Warden Barrot: [to Papillon upon his release from solitary confinement after five years following his second escape attempt] Your five years in solitary confinement are at an end. You've paid part of your debt to France.

  • Warden Barrot: Put all hope out of your mind. And masturbate as little as possible, it drains the strength!
