The warden made a big net, and the fate of the five little bugs was already doomed.

There is no soundtrack, and every hit seems to hit the audience in the heart. The small saw that has to be stopped after 20 pulls, the accidental collapse, and the sudden inspection are so many perfect preparations that the audience can't wait. I wanted to see the picture of 5 little animals running on the street and raising their middle finger to the prison at the same time, but when the camera turned, the pictures of countless prison guards appeared in the small mirror, which made it so unacceptable. But at the end of the movie, when I think back to the whole story, and countless scenes flood into my mind, it will make people feel more and more that such an ending is reasonable. Perhaps this is the charm of this movie.

The first step is to transfer Gaspard to the cell where the warden is least concerned. Because this cell is full of felons and the relationship between the four of them can be seen to be very harmonious, and there are habitual criminals who escaped from prison, it is not surprising that they are focused on. Why choose Gaspard? There are several reasons. The most important point is that Gai's case is very likely to be withdrawn. When such a person finally faces the choice between prison disaster or escape plan There is a high probability of choosing against the water. The second is that he came in precisely because he was unfaithful to his wife, which has proved the character of this person, and it is more suitable to choose him.

The second step is to win Gaspard's trust. The warden largely did not hold him accountable when he made two mistakes, and gradually left a trustworthy impression in Gaspard's mind, so in the end, Gai believed what the warden said. The lawsuit was withdrawn, and the jailbreak plan was fully revealed. The first time was when the lighter was confiscated at the beginning, and the warden's attitude was very kind. I think the focus on bribery or whether the warden will corrupt is just speculation, and it doesn't make much sense. The point of the plot here is that there is a penalty for bringing such a thing into a cell without permission, but the warden is being extra generous. The second time, I went to the wrong cell. I saw that the warden and Gaspard colluded in advance. The argument was that the building was not renovated when he returned to the original cell. I think the decoration was just the warden's cover It was just an excuse for Spader to switch away, and Gai had been in the new cell for a long time at the time, and it was normal for it to be renovated, and Gai was really upset when he visited the prison earlier. This has already paved the way. , it is reasonable to go wrong. The focus should be on the attitude of the warden. The comparison between the attitude of the warden and the guards is also used here, which is even more obvious. The guards insist on punishment. It can be seen that according to the rules of the prison, there must be such mistakes. However, the warden said that this time it was over, which shocked the prison guards present. Just imagine if you were the warden, at this moment when the prisoner and his subordinates were in conflict, what motive would you have to go under normal circumstances? Embarrassing his subordinates by defending prisoners also proves that the warden has a purpose long ago, and when there is such a conflict, the warden has won the trust of Gaspard even more.

The third step is to close the network. When talking alone, the warden made up the news of the withdrawal, just to see what expression and attitude Gaspard had. If he was very happy, it might mean that there was no abnormality in the cell, but the fact was that the warden saw himself. The long-awaited expression, combined with the foreshadowing of the previous period, it is not surprising that Gaspard told the truth.

A few more interesting points:

The classic spider web clip, which appeared in the plot at that time, felt very abrupt to be honest, but the director still let it go. "What is he talking about? I didn't understand a word", that's what I thought when I saw it here hh

Please pay attention to the arrival time of the cardboard box, just after Gaspard entered the cell. This is definitely not a coincidence. The warden, an old fritter, must know more escape methods than Roland, and based on Roland's understanding of the prison structure The level of familiarity and the clear idea of ​​​​finding the sewer can be drawn. The way he escaped from prison the previous times should be similar. And the role that cardboard boxes can play in jailbreak is self-evident. From the whole movie, you can see that the dummy made of cardboard boxes blocks the hole, and it is not an exaggeration to say that cardboard boxes are MVP (Roland will continue to work hard), the warden's fishing Law enforcement is really high

Digging through the sewer and seeing who is in the free world outside, it happens to be Gaspard, here is also a hint from the director, "Gaispard almost got into a taxi and left", this line strongly expresses Gai's yearning for a free life outside, at that time, it was doomed that he would not be able to escape with his fellow inmates in this way and live a life of fear. On the contrary, withdrawing the lawsuit is different. Using his small legs that were born for the runway, he walked out of the main entrance of the prison with a model step, and said goodbye to the prison warning. Confidently shouting "taxi~~", isn't it fragrant?

Finally, I want to say that the most basic point of film criticism is to respect the plot, and all guessing based on imagination is a hooligan. The whole film shows the warden's great chess and the struggle of human nature in layers and layers. It is the foreshadowing of the first two hours. In the end, Gaspard tells the truth. Countless prison guards appear outside the door. Unexpected and in the process of cleaning up, this is what some movies lack, the motivation of the characters, the motivation of Rowland is never shown or foreshadowed in the whole film, so there is no need to discuss it.
