In the blink of an eye, the American drama "Prison Break" has once again gained favor and suddenly attracted the audience's attention to film and television themes such as police, bandits, and prisons. Every year, such films are shot and shown in various countries and regions.The only difference is to see who can use similar stories to make more audiences obediently pay for themselves in the cinema and stand out from the crowd. You are afraid of thunder and rain if you have a large production.In order to stand out at a small cost, it is by no means a celestial miracle that can be created without thunder, lightning, and rain clouds. It is necessary to pay some price.

Prison Life, Stephen Dorff, 2008. Maybe you still remember the emaciated detective Mike in the horror film "fear.dot.com", but fortunately, Stephen can still make a breakthrough in the image in this play, otherwise the scenes of many violent fights in prison would not be so good. With a little bit of capital, the viewing experience will be greatly reduced. The trailer for "Felon" is well done, like the sweet and sour pork ribs printed on the menu, which is very tempting. It is a pity that after the film was released, the director's desire to break through with this kind of drama was not perfect, but he quietly called the curtain.

In order to protect his family, a man who puts the family first defended himself against the thieves who had broken into the house at night. As a result, the police came to collect the body and took away the hero in the hearts of his wife and children. He very skillfully expresses the image of a good man with the most ordinary details of life, after a subtle foreshadowing, a sharp turn, and smoothly brings the rest of the story into the prison as a continuation of the text. This can be regarded as a relatively good opening prelude, but later in the film the film strives for a steady pace to stifle the surging expectations.

Maybe my preconceived notions ruined the experience of watching the movie. I just feel that the closer this film is to the dramatic point of dramatic change, the more it reveals a sense of restraint that is neither loose nor tight. But the tone of the film is very memorable to me. The story is edited neatly, and the main line intersects with multiple sub-lines in an orderly manner. Perhaps this is the sin and transaction that do not need to be hidden under the sun, so even in the cold and dark prison, the picture still presents a bright and bright color. In this respect, it is different from many similar films. Director Ric Waugh attaches great importance to the visual color rendering, which can be roughly felt. Some people are happy, and some people are annoying. To put it simply, this film drew attention. Take the ride to "Prison Break". Continue the enduring theme of prison, stand in front of the stage generously, and let others point fingers. Not to mention other things, just talk about this brave spirit, which will definitely make the production team show its lovely side.

I'd also like to say that the story, despite the small traces of plagiarism, is creative and covers a lot of ground to think about. Any deviation from the normal rules of the game will be broken in the face of justice and conscience, but the price to be paid in this contest is too great and too painful. The various characters who turned the story into a food chain were originally just obstacles that had to exist around the protagonist, Wade, but the narration deliberately set by the director at the end caused these characters to discover it all at once. Belonging to their absorption box, their spiritual world has also received attention.

We should adhere to the principles of society, family, friends, ourselves, and everything. Be loyal, be honest, like the words Wade left behind when he walked out of the prison gate. Be a good person and find a good person to be your friend. Even if the simple truth is "idiot," I think the expression is extremely clever. You must know that modern people have computers, and it is easy for them not to use their brains. Why not use a butcher's knife to kill a chicken? But it doesn't matter what kind of knife it is, if you don't use it, it's not a knife.
