      There is a big gap with reality, and the plot is average.

      From the data point of view, it means that it is almost impossible to escape from Alcatraz Prison. Even if you escape the tall walls of the prison, or you are not caught or killed by the prison guards, or you can only be buried in the sea, this prison will only come in. The prison that cannot be escaped is called the world's most severe prison for this reason.

      What is the most important thing about jailbreaking? !

      A classic prison escape movie, Clint Eastwood has superb acting skills, without too many lens changes like now, but the story is still exciting. After watching it, I checked the real events and felt that the whole movie did not have an overly exaggerated plot, and it was basically consistent with the real events.

      But after reading it, I feel very touched. I feel that there are many different encounters and stages in a person's life. There are a few eternal principles that can...

      The prequel to "Shawshank Redemption"

      I saw this film inadvertently, and I didn’t expect it to be the prequel of Shawshank Salvation . There are

      too many familiar fragments:

      there are also old black inmates, but they are not responsible for smuggling, but the boss in prison; the

      old inmates did not raise children. birds, raised a rat;

      old cellmate also killed, but not hanged;

      entered prison immediately, "Brokeback mountain" fancy, except that Clemens too tough, and that...

      A very restrained prison break film, there is no whistleblower, no excessive violence and blood, and the warden is also a reasonable range of coldness and indifference. The people inside the wall cherish friendship, freedom and hope more than those outside the wall. The chrysanthemum by the beach at the end is the best tribute to the painters Doc and Litmus. Maybe it's so fascinating because it happened. To the free spirits out...

      The Shawshank Redemption is copied from the cliff. Although the film in 1979 is a bit rough, it is full of creativity. The only one I haven't seen is...
