      "The Hole" is One of the Most Famous French Noirs

      I found this movie while searching for high-rated movies and had never heard of it before. Although the labels of black and white old movies and prison breaks are not as pleasing as drama, comedy, love, biography, and war, the seductive text introduction is quite eye-catching-"French crime film master Jacques Baker's last classic before his death, Prison Break film. One of the most famous noir films in French film history, a true masterpiece of art. Best Film Award of the French Film...

      Le Trou--It's A Movie About A Prison Break

      After watching it, I read a lot of film reviews, and everyone has different ideas. They are basically discussing who is the informer. The only one who can get a glimpse of the director's intention in the whole film is probably the prison guard who caught the bug and threw it at the spider web with a grinning smile. The shot indicates that the protagonist and his party are like insects in the hands of...

      human hole

      Jacques Baker's "The Hole" is a prison break. "Hole" means to dig a hole to escape. Like a documentary, the film described the hardship, length and thrill of digging a hole in great length and detail in more than two hours.

      In the process of watching the movie, people will have a hunch that there will be spies among the gang of prisoners, because when a new prisoner is sent to the cell, the other four prisoners discuss at length whether the new prisoner is trustworthy or not. The man...

      defect

      Great jailbreak movie from which all subsequent jailbreak themes are borrowed.

      There are a lot of smooth long shots in the film at one go,

      Everyone's personality is extremely distinct, so in the last-minute twist, everything makes sense.

      The film uses a lot of detail to highlight the true depiction of prison life

      Unforgettable is the first time when the two prison guards were feeding the spiders when they dug through the floor to find their way, the cold, evil and...

      man, die

      As expected of a hardcore jailbreak movie, the steps are super detailed, and the deliberately amplified noise when smashing the wall is very in line with the tense nerves of people when they do things sneakily. This prison looks like a university dormitory. The attitude of the head of the building to the prisoners is similar to that of the dormitory aunt to the students. Hahaha. Premier Zhou... Ah, not Roland, he is extremely brave, familiar with the terrain, and accurately judges the...
