If I live but have no freedom, what is the meaning of life?

Is there anything more precious than freedom in this world?

If I live, but I have to be imprisoned on a deserted and dark island all my life, but cannot live the life I want, then what is the meaning of life? I want to take back my freedom, I want to take back my freedom! ! Even if someone tells me that being alive is a gift, even if someone tells me that the road to the outside world is blocked, even if I will die tomorrow, and even if I will fail this time, it will not stop my crazily desire for freedom.

Papillon planned to escape multiple times. After each failure, he was imprisoned or beaten with reduced food. One time, he was detained and beaten with reduced food and almost died. After more than ten years, he and his cellmates had gray hair, and finally obtained a humble "freedom" on the island. Although they could not leave the island, they could raise them, and they also had their own independent cabins. But how can these compare with the great and precious freedom? The inmates who shared with him no longer hold any hope for freedom, and Papillon, with a thirst for freedom, bravely swam across the boundless sea on the coconut shell, finally enjoying the freedom of the last four years of his life.

Once a person cherishes a certain belief and persists in madness, there will eventually be results. So there is nothing incredible or impossible, as long as you dare.

Believe me, this is more shocking and profound than "Prison Break",

    The plot design of the movie's several escapes should come from "Blood Against a Window" starring Paul Newman in 1967, but the difference is that the male protagonist is implanted with a background explanation of the grievances, so that the theme of this film is not "Blood From a Barrier Window" "Be free or die" in the book, and became Hemingway's tough-guy philosophy of "one can be destroyed, but not defeated". Thanks to the length of the film, in the 150-minute film, the prison, torture, escape and re-imprisonment are very clearly displayed, which also makes the sudden increase in age less abrupt, and the depiction of many branch lines also makes the film have What other prison break movies don't have, the details of the prisoners' lives and the state of mind, are particularly exciting in the confinement period, but in the development of the plot, the characters who help find the boat are too scribbled. It is set like this on such an important plot, It's a bit perfunctory. The director asked Steve McQueen to play the role because he thought that you failed to escape ten years ago, and now you are trying to escape. Dustin Hoffman has already appeared in this film.

    It's a good movie, although it's a little weird for "French" people to speak American. Most of the time, characters, including the protagonist, are closer to real people than to the tools that have been given moral meaning. The camera language, art, soundtrack, etc. can also reach the upper-middle level, which is a rare quality in American movies.
