The meaning of Hutoumen in the translation name

Lon 2022-04-06 08:01:02

In ancient Chinese prisons, prisoners sentenced to death had their own separate death row. There was usually a tiger's head painted on the wall of the cell door. Some people say that the tiger head on the top of the prison door is not a tiger, but a divine beast (bì àn) representing fairness and justice. In any case, Hutoumen later became a reference to death row, presumably the translator expanded its scope to refer to the prison, or simply implied that the entire R17 cell could not escape death.
Hutoumen can also be another name for Humen, the Humen where Humen sells cigarettes. But the film obviously doesn't do that.

    The lines and photography are exquisite, and the unjust prison break itself is expressed in the form of heroic epics. Many ideas have inspired the formation of prison break movies.
