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 turned out to be a spy. But that spy was not a premeditated undercover agent, his betrayal was due to human nature.

The warden told him that his wife had dropped the charges and that he would be released soon. At this time, if he doesn't tell the others, he will be regarded as an accomplice, and he will be imprisoned for many years. At this time, the dark side of his humanity is exposed. In order to protect himself, he surrendered the other four.

The more arduous the process of digging the holes ahead, the more despicable the whistleblower will appear.

In fact, these simple adventures and excitement can't attract me, I want to see some interesting or intriguing details. So I gave up after seeing it for an hour. But in order to know the ending, I had to watch it patiently.

    It was so enjoyable to watch. Although there was no soundtrack, the director used a realistic approach to make the atmosphere of the whole film tense. These five people thought that their escape plan was seamless, but they didn't expect to be completely played by the warden and applauded. Especially Gaspard, the cowardice of human nature is all reflected in him, and is used by the warden. However, in the dungeon where the prison guards feed the spiders with insects, we can see the clues of the subsequent development of the plot, which is really tragic.
