Not a high IQ escape but also shocking

After watching "Papillon" I felt very shocked.

Knowing in advance that this is a prison escape story, and looking forward to watching "Shawshank's Redemption", the male protagonist was framed and observed all the way to find various opportunities to escape from prison. Some opportunities are very likely to succeed at first glance, but you will know that you have failed again by looking at the progress bar.

For example, when the male protagonist meets an outsider fat man when he is moving things, he asks the fat man to provide a boat. The fat man knew how to bargain, and scared the male protagonist to raise the price. The male protagonist escaped from prison to find him, but the fat man had no idea of ​​saving him at all, so he wanted to rob him. When the fat man said, "No matter how much money the male lead gives him, the prison will double how much he pays", I know that the film is too realistic, and people can't help but want to curse a swear word.

Looking at it, I look forward to the male lead being a little darker, but what I see is more of the male lead's tenacity. After watching the whole movie, although I didn't finish watching "Shawshank's Redemption", the hero's final escape from prison still let his tight nerves breathe a sigh of relief, and his hard work finally paid off.

The second man didn't go with the male lead in the end, and felt a little empathetic, quite understandable. Always challenged a difficult target, repeated defeats, repeated defeats, and repeated defeats. Such days are not something ordinary people can bear. Even unusual people can survive until the end.
