Shawshank-like works

Another Shawshank-like work.

This kind of feature film that seems to tell a little philosophy of life always makes the audience feel very excited to connect with the circuit of the philosopher. The next film review must be related to the perception of life, and to reveal the truth of life like a so-called cult.

It's actually a shoddy film. In order to achieve the tense effect, all the elements of the cinema film are made step by step, the countdown clock, the car that broke down halfway, and the accompaniment of the symphony orchestra that is getting more and more exciting.

But it does not hide the emptiness and logical confusion of the content. In order to make up the plot, this screenwriter made the characters' personalities fluctuate violently like eating a small pill in the form of Dr. Incarnation. In order to highlight the romantic and unrestrained, he made a certain talent think quickly. . So many and varied. . . Isn't this an insult to the audience's intelligence?

The character relationships are even more untenable. Neither Berlin nor the female reporter needed to appear, the female reporter became a complex of detective and story listener without any initiative.

And there may be some bright spots in the man and woman who sacrificed their lives, but unfortunately, the film also needs to consider the sensational nature of the plot, and the actress who played Rose has enough roles to kill the plot direction that should be developed.

All the plot design revolves around the final statment, so I can't believe this bizarre story.

In fact, there should be a subtitle "Adapted from a true story" at the beginning or end of the film, which would be more perfect. (I even forgot if I actually saw this subtitle).
