Quite concise. Around François Leterrier's constant efforts to live, from imprisonment to freedom.

One by one, the old inmates went less, and there were more and more new inmates. The single cell was gradually turned into a double cell, and the situation was very grim. Such is the brutal prison environment.

As a viewer, I have always been worried about failure, so afraid of being found out. Apart from the slightly worrying pencil check this time, there is almost nothing else. There are no prison guards patrolling the entire corridor, indicating that the prison's protection is still very weak.

Looking for companions, no, they have already accepted their fate, even if they are, they don't know when they will disappear. There are a lot of inmates. In fact, they can act collectively. As long as the breaking of the door is solved, the rest can be implemented together, but for some reason they just support him with various actions.

Out of the prison door, to the roof, to the courtyard, across the fence, it is dawn, but free. In the last 20 minutes, every minute was thrilling, and the male protagonist's fear and hesitation were undoubtedly revealed.

Apart from breaking the door, the male protagonist's way to escape from prison is not explained in detail in the movie, which is unclear.

    I won't say much about the refinement of Bresson's works. Taking this film and Shawshank's salvation are incomparable. Bresson did not give too much to the ins and outs of the protagonist's imprisonment, and it had nothing to do with salvation at all. And spent a lot of time describing his communication with inmates and his own psychological activities. Let the audience always advance and retreat with the host in public, as well as the details, all see the director's skill.

A Man Escaped quotes

  • Le lieutenant Fontaine: [Narrating, after giving his word to the prison warden that he would not try to escape again] Who were we kidding? He certainly did not believe me. As for myself, I was determined to escape at the first opportunity.

  • Le lieutenant Fontaine: [Narrating, as he and other prisoners go back to their cells after a short break outside] Time to empty our slop pails and run a little water over our faces, then back to our cells for the entire day. With nothing to do, no news and in terrible solitude, we were 100 unfortunates awaiting our fate. I had no illusions about my own. If I could only escape, run away...
