"The Prophet": The prison that can be walked out, the fate that cannot be escaped

Kennith 2022-03-22 09:01:57

Jacques Audiard used a slightly magical coat to wrap the core of philosophical speculation, and this French-style gang movie brought by it is really too difficult to understand.
Many people say that this film tells the story of a little man's growth and fortune in prison, from a 19-year-old marginalized youth to a 25-year-old gang boss, quite the epic temperament of "The Godfather".
But like the unwashed blood stains on his suit and shirt, just like he still let the security check his mouth when he was at the airport security check, no matter how he fought to change the status quo, but in fact, his fate was already written, Life or death is not under his control.
At the end, the caravan of the gang brothers quietly followed behind Malik. In addition to the grandeur, he felt both visual and spiritual depression. In a trance, he couldn't tell whether the brother behind him was a kind of protection that he could rely on, or the pressure that forced him to go to an unknown future. Have you tried your best to get out of this prison, but jumped into a wider cage, a more endless abyss?
Just move forward all the way, along the fate that has been written down.
