    Compared with the old version... Forget it, there is no comparison. I watched it all because of Hunan, and it was even a bit basic. It was basically an idol drama, and the old version was the real...

    It's hard to believe that this movie is adapted from a true story. The hero's experience is too bizarre. He survived two or five years of solitary confinement and finally escaped on Alcatraz Island. What makes people sigh is the farewell of his life and death partner at the end. One chooses to stay and the other chooses to leave, but they are all based on the same reason; where is the real place to...

    Barely pass. Directed by one of the directors of "Struggles in Prison", he continued his gaze on the state of depression, especially the portrayal of Hunnam's two-year life in the confinement room in the middle section. It feels like I don't know how to shoot. Hunnam is thin and has paid a lot, but the motive of this protagonist... is not to run back to France for revenge, nor to have much yearning for freedom. It seems that it is more of loyalty to his escape partner, so that it is somewhat...

    Unlike the dirty environment, the picture is very clear and clean, the camera lighting and sound effects are excellent, and the costumes and makeup are also very careful, but it does not well show the sticky feeling of the hot South America. Persist for what? What is the motivation to persevere? Injustice, prison, friendship between prisoners, the tension and thrill of escape from prison, and the persistent desire for freedom all have the familiar shadow of "The Shawshank Redemption" and "The...

    There was no climax in the whole process...I didn't want to continue watching and couldn't stop...and then spent two hours...

    Love and hope that never give up. As a remake, Charlie Hunnam lacks some of the toughness of Steve...

    Papillon means "butterfly", and it's very strange to hear the male protagonist "Papillon" being called throughout the whole process in English. The base is radiant. But the jailbreak part was lackluster. Judging from the time span and content of the film, the focus should not be on the plot of the escape, but on the psychological development of the characters and the shaping of the environment. Babylon's two small black house survivals have simply broken through the limits of human psychology....

    The original version was 133 minutes long, while the domestic release version was only 109 minutes long, so there was no translation for nearly 20 minutes, and the original English dialogue had to be retained. Unless the film is re-translated by another studio, this version may be the final...

    What is the 24 minutes cut?

    In the beginning, Papillon was in a nightclub, and there were many scenes of topless dancers

    The plot of Rami (the millionaire male protagonist 2) just came to the island and used the toilet for the first time to withdraw money

    The process of getting to know the little young man in the last escape...

    Freedom is never just about being free from bondage

    If I had seen this movie a few years ago, I would have seen papi and Louis as opposites - admiring papi's courage to pursue freedom, and regretting that Louis didn't seize the last chance to escape.

    But now I have a new understanding of the word "freedom".

    When people mention...

Papillon quotes

  • Maturette: Papi, we made it! Papi, it's paradise here.

    Henri Charrière ('Papillon'): Yeah, but it's not home.

  • Warden Barrot: I had to come and see this for myself. Few men survive five years in solitary. What were you living for? 'Cause I don't think you're going to find it where you're going. Devils Island.
