unyielding soul

This movie is a bit old. There are several places where the picture is a bit bloody, giving people a feeling of depression or collapse. It is about the protagonist who keeps escaping from prison, from young and strong to full of gray hair, still not giving up, and even the last time he survived with a slim hope.
Every time he escaped from prison, the price he paid was heavier, and even so, he still did not give up. I would also think that even if he succeeded in escaping in the end, it is estimated that he will not have much to live, so why is he working so hard? At the end of the credits "the last years of his life lived a free man's life". What matters is not the result, but the process, the persevering process, the unyielding spirit. Yes, it is this "unyielding" spirit. You surrendered today, your benefits are so obvious, but your surrender is like that invisible prison cell.

Papillon quotes

  • Dega: Did you hear about my wife? She married my attorney. Or, else, he married her. Although, actually, it doesn't really matter. I mean, it all works out to the same thing. Don't you think?

  • Papillon: If I could find a way to get off this island, would you like to come with me?

    Dega: Oh, yes. Of course.
