"Poor Gaspard"

The words "Poor Gaspard" not only touched the heart of the protagonist but also caused me to fall into deep contemplation.

Although the protagonist of the film "The Hole" is Gaspard, the real master behind the scenes is the warden.

This film is mainly about Gaspard and his inmates who plan to escape, but in the end Gaspard betrays the inmates.

The film is told from Gaspard's point of view.

Originally, this jailbreak operation was carried out by "three + one". Because Gilao is a dutiful son and does not plan to escape.

During the shoot, they were digging the floor with a long shot of their hardships and togetherness.

Gaspard's case was actually made up by him, and the warden was also a corrupt official. The real face of the damn fear is actually a soft man, a little white face, it is more appropriate to call him a villain. Because she said that his grandmother was a rich man, and then he relied on his wife to support him, and quarreled over money and accidentally injured his wife and loaded all three guns.

And having an affair with his wife's sister can show that he wants to embezzle property. Because who would load all three guns in a fight? Right.

At the beginning of the movie, he gave the gilded lighter to the warden and the warden gave him a slight smile, and then the warning told him that it would be returned to him, and he smiled contemptuously to explain it. The lighter he bribed to the warden. The second time he talked to the warden, he talked about the lighter. It can also be explained that he wanted to bribe the warden with the lighter. But then they were about to flee, and when the inmates were about to kiss the dutiful son on the cheek, he just shook hands. It can also show that he does not really want to escape.

The most frightening scene in the whole movie is when they were about to flee, they shoved the mirror out and saw a lot of prison guards standing there.

In fact, Gaspard appeared to be an upper-middle class person, but he was actually a mediocre person, just a chess piece that could be manipulated at will. As long as you are a little tempted, you will bow your head.

The film pays great attention to detail and depicts each character's humanity, character, and role in the team.

The most commonly used in this film is the long shot, because it allows us to have a sense of substitution.

The film "The Hole" takes place in a French prison in 1947, two years after the end of World War II.

The most direct feeling this movie gave me was: wow, the prison guards are so harmonious! But in fact, most of them are superficial and inward, and the protagonist is no exception! This completely subverted my outlook on life!

It's a very powerful, classic, documentary film. The most worth savoring is actually "poor Gaspard."

    Another good prison break film, which can be compared to Bresson's death row escape.
