This beautiful island is actually a prison

But there is neither guard here

No high walls

But only three people managed to escape in a hundred years

Today's film adaptation

The real experience of stealing Saint Papi in Paris

Murder due to being framed

He escaped eight times after being in jail for ten years

Finally escaped to heaven with only a few coconuts

1931

Eighty thousand prisoners gathered at the Paris pier

They will be sent to colonial prisons for hard labor

A cellmate on the boat told papi

The man wearing glasses across is named Degas

He has a lot of money in his stomach

Turned out at that time

The prisoners would put the banknotes in a kind of metal capsule

And then hide in the body through a special method

Find Degas to negotiate immediately

That he can keep him safe

The condition is that Degas needs some money to help him escape from prison

The conceited Degas refused on the spot

Who knows a prisoner who hid a capsule that night

To be cracked in his sleep

And the guards wanted to get a share of it

Turned a blind eye

Degas immediately accepted papi's proposal the next day

Not long

They arrived at the heavily guarded colonial prison

Back here is the tropical rain forest

Facing the vast ocean

I managed to escape in time and couldn't escape the attack of tropical poisons and sharks.

First day in prison

The warden read out the rules here in public

The first jailbreak failed for two years in solitary confinement

Second time in solitary confinement for five years and then sent to Alcatraz

It is worth mentioning that Alcatraz prison is real in real life

When he came to the cell, papi immediately asked Degas to pull the money out

They need to buy the jailer

Arrange a relatively easy job

But there was a gunshot from the playground that night

Someone escaped from prison

The jailer did not dare to commit crimes against the wind

The two were still arranged to the hardest quarry

But here it is

He ushered in the first opportunity to escape from prison

This day a cart carrying a few singers fell into the mud

They immediately went over to help push the cart

Took the opportunity to buy the coachman

The coachman said his boat will stay nearby for three days

I can take them to the coast and leave here

But still need to pay 5000 yuan

Everything was negotiated

Who knows Degas looked very weak when he worked the next day

Suddenly he touched his pants and his face changed suddenly

Hurry up and say in your ear

I have diarrhea

Can't hold the capsule and dropped

This is a metal capsule that only prisoners can use

They will stuff the banknotes in before going to jail

And then hide it in the body in a special way

This man with glasses

I got one but she had diarrhea in the past two days

I accidentally jumped when I relaxed just now

So I quickly told my partner

As soon as I heard it, I lay down on the ground and started searching

Because the money is their hope of escape

Just then the prison guard just came over

They had to keep working

The partner washes his hands vigorously in the bucket during lunch

Because he has hidden the capsule in his own place

His name is papi

The man with glasses is called Degas

The two have bought a boatman

But in the afternoon the prisoners were urgently assembled

It turns out that a prisoner missed and killed a prison guard when he escaped from prison.

according to rules

This prisoner is going to be beheaded for publicity

The warden asked Papi and Deca to dispose of the body

But the cowardly German family turned pale with fright

Just walked a few steps before collapsed to the ground

The prison guard took out his whip and started beating harder

In desperation, papi picked up a stone casually

Stun the prison guard

The sudden change disrupted their original plan

papi just ran all the way to the place he had agreed with the coachman before

And Jiajia, who was already scared, forgot to escape

At night the boatman showed up on time

But I didn’t wait for papi to be happy

The sound of bullet loading came from behind

It turns out that the warden had taken care of all the nearby farmers in advance

No matter how much money the prisoners pay

The warden will double

In accordance with prison regulations

The prisoner who escapes for the first time will be held in solitary confinement for two years

And in the past two years, prisoners must not speak

No sound

Because loneliness and silence can destroy their will

Every day prisoners who collapse and die are dragged out

At first he was paced back and forth in the room

Rely on counting to stay sane

But the warden immediately sent someone to beat him until he couldn’t stand up.

Papi curled up on the bed is getting weaker and weaker

The prisoner in charge of delivering food this day gave him an extra bucket

Open it and see that there is half a fresh coconut inside

There is a note on the lid

Papi knew that the German family must have bought out the jailer

The sweet coconut meat gave him hope

He began to exercise in the cell to maintain his strength

Soon the warden noticed something strange

But papi refuses to betray Degas

In a rage, the warden imposed the harshest punishment on her

Deprive of light

I saw a huge black cloth covering the cell

The endless darkness and silence came quickly

Not long after she began to hallucinate

At the same time Degas relies on brain power

Became the bookkeeper of the warden

Finally got a foothold in prison

Two years have passed in a blink of an eye

No one knows how he got through

Papi was dying and was admitted to the hospital

Seeing Papi's sluggish expression Degas blames himself very much

Who knew papi suddenly stretched out ten fingers

It turns out that she pretended all this

She hasn't given up on the idea of ​​jailbreaking

Degas told Papi that the warden will play a movie in the courtyard this Sunday

By then the guards are weak

The two plan to escape again

This day he was suddenly screaming

The doctor rushed to give him a tranquilizer

He was secretly spat out the pills after the doctor left

A few days later he gave a whole box of tranquilizers to Degas

At the same time, Brother Beard contacted a ship

It's sunday

Degas poured the tranquilizer into the bottle and gave it to the guard on duty

Just now

Degas was called to the auditorium by the warden to serve tea and water

And the other side

Papi and two other inmates stunned the prisoner who was in charge of the keys.

They walked in the corridor and waited anxiously

But Degas was late

at this time

Downpour

Seeing the plan is going to fall apart

The whole prison was cut off with a loud noise

Four people seize the opportunity

Jumped off the prison wall

Degas broke his leg accidentally

They staggered to the coast

Found that boat

But problems followed one after another

The ship is not only too small but also leaking

Beard proposes to throw the injured Degas into the sea

papi certainly disagrees

The two quickly scuffled into a ball

This is Degas who has always been timid and weak

Picked up the dagger for the first time

Crazy sticking to the beard brother

After the three of them drifted on the sea for a few days

Arrived at a tribe

A nun saved them

Papi decides to part ways with Degas

Didn't go far

papi found a police car

Who knows he didn't run

But chose to go back and inform Degas

But it's too late

This is the second jailbreak failure of papi

He will face solitary confinement for five years

Five years later, papi has gray-haired and withered

The warden said

Few people can survive five years of solitary confinement

Then he was sent to Alcatraz Island

There is no high wall here

No guard

It's just that it's surrounded by the sea

Cliffs everywhere

People who come here have to wait to die

The cry of collapse reverberates throughout the prison

Here he met Degas

Because of his disobedience

Was sent to Alcatraz Island in advance by the warden

Papi said excitedly this day

I have a way

He threw a coconut into the sea

The tide will bring him back to land

But the problem is that it is too high here

Even if you jump down, you will die

But papi can't manage that much

Quickly made two rafts with coconut

Rushed to the edge of the cliff before low tide

Who knows Degas said he won't leave

I thought he was used to it

After an affectionate hug

He was jumped off the cliff

This film is adapted from Henry Charrière’s autobiography of the same name Papillon

In reality, he escaped from prison a total of eight times before he succeeded.

This film only shows three of them

It is mentioned in the book that he drifted on the sea for four days

Landing in Guyana

This decade-long escape from prison finally ended in victory

Maybe some birds are destined not to be kept in cages

Because every piece of their feathers shines with the brilliance of freedom
