Papillon

A very old prison break movie. They are abandoned prisoners who can only leave the prison after serving their sentence, but cannot leave the island. The male protagonist spends his entire life in a cycle of being imprisoned and escaping from the island, and he uses his life to pursue freedom. The result seems to be no longer important, what matters is the process of escape, the process of pursuit. The film is not ups and downs, it can even be said that it is a bit long, but there are many memorable bridges. The lens design is very impactful, whether it is the bloody image at the beginning or the precipitation of the image at the end.

    The more I look at Steve McQueen's works, the more I like him, firm and tough, these words belong to him

    Calm and unpretentious narrative, scenes with a high degree of completion, restoration of the theme of freedom, or insertion of satire on human nature. It is no wonder that many people still think that it is a greater prison break movie than "The Shawshank Redemption".

Papillon quotes

  • Warden Barrot: [to Papillon upon his release from solitary confinement after five years following his second escape attempt] Your five years in solitary confinement are at an end. You've paid part of your debt to France.

  • Warden Barrot: Put all hope out of your mind. And masturbate as little as possible, it drains the strength!
