I've seen a lot of prison movies, and these movies always convey humanity to me.
Unlike other movies that describe the darkness and corruption in prisons, this film focuses on Papillon’s desire for freedom and escapes from prison time after time.
The first time he escaped from prison, he was kept in solitary confinement for 2 years and was forbidden to speak.
The second time he escaped from prison, he was kept in solitary confinement for 5 years and was forbidden to speak.
After 5 years of confinement, the warden came to see Papillon in person, because there are really not many people who can survive 5 years of confinement.
He was sent to Alcatraz. Degas, who came to Alcatraz 5 years ago, came to him and said, "How did the sons of two teachers come to this place?"
At this time, Papillon had half-white hair, and he did not give up running away, he was still thinking about how to escape on Alcatraz Island.
He finally thought of a way to make a raft of his own and use the momentum of the waves to float to the mainland.
Degas and him made a raft out of coconut shells. Just before departure, Degas said that he must stay and stay on Alcatraz Island.
The reason is the same as the reason why Papillon must go
I really didn’t figure out why Degas wanted to stay, maybe he was really tired of running away, maybe
He has been guilty for killing an accomplice who escaped from prison, so he has to stay on Alcatraz Island to make atonement.
Thinking of the coconut that Degas sent during Papillon's two-year confinement brings hope to Papillon
Thinking of Papillon’s second escape from prison, seeing the prison car, resolutely gave up the opportunity to escape alone
Degas ran back to the thatched hut to rescue the broken leg and wanted to escape again, but unfortunately was captured together
Degas "You still come back to save me"
In the absence of hope, pure friendship is really valuable.
Papillon finally got his freedom on the coconut shell raft, he started a family in Venezuela
Half a hundred years old, he flew to France, took a fragment of his own biography and the paintings Degas left him, and gave them to the French publisher.
He said that when he remembered, this book must be published in France
This person, with a persistent determination to give up and don’t know what is meant by giving up, bring himself freedom
As a free person, I am really happy to breathe free air every day
As a thief who went to jail, he really did his best to be free
Let him be a free man with a criminal record. Who wouldn't do one or two wrong things.
