Ever since I heard that this is a movie where real events have changed, I have aroused my strong curiosity. After watching the movie, I was completely convinced by the protagonist. He escaped from prison like the story of Shawshank, and it was full of hardships, even worse. As for the former, however, he is an adaptation of a true story.
In 1931, France exiled 8,000 criminals, but very few came back, which is why the legend of Henri came into being.
Prison is indeed something that most people will never have access to in their lifetime, but everyone knows the horror and the degree of torment in it.
Henri is such a person. He steals things to make money, but was framed for murder and sentenced to life imprisonment. He met Dega in prison and began their escape plan.
Before the first time, their friend Julot pretended to be injured to escape from the hospital, but was caught and executed in public because of the murder. Hengri couldn't bear Dega's whipping while transporting the body and then fled.
Unfortunately, his first escape failed, and he was greeted by a two-year confinement. After suffering from hunger, beatings, darkness and silence, he pretended to be crazy and returned to the exile, and began to plan a second escape. .
One attracts attention, the other steals the keys, and the other prepares the boat. After all the hardships, they ran out, but they quarreled at sea because of the inferior quality of the boat, which eventually led to Celier's death.
They were discovered by the indigenous people after the storm, but they were told to go back when they had just started their life outside.
At this time, Henri had already left, and after seeing the prison car, he ran back and called his partner. Unfortunately, he was arrested again, this time, for five years of confinement.
Five years later, even the warden wondered what kept him going. In my opinion, this person's yearning for the outside world and freedom is really scary
In Alcatraz, he met Dega again, if I had to go through it, I might be the one who hanged in Alcatraz. . . After painstaking efforts, he escaped from prison again. This time he finally succeeded, and he even wrote his autobiography for publication.
The deepest impression on me from this image is that he actually returned to the tribe again. He clearly has parted ways, but he cares so much and only knows about the safety of his friends. After five years of confinement, I felt deep despair from the outside of the screen.
The outstanding part of this film, in my opinion, is the director's ability to control the passage of time. Different times, the same actions, do not feel the slightest sense of repetition.
It is also a prison break film. Shawshank is a novel story, and he is an adaptation of a true story. Shawshank escaped once, and he escaped three times. If Shawshank can get five stars, I think he can too.
(The above is a personal opinion. Please praise and encourage it if it is useful. If there are any deficiencies, please step down. If you can comment and give suggestions, I will be very grateful. Don’t bother.)
