Summary of the film:
The film is based on real people and real events, and won the Best Director Award at the 10th Cannes Film Festival. During the German occupation of France, Germany ruled it as a puppet. French Lieutenant François Lettrell was imprisoned as a prisoner. The story of the Nazi prison where the protagonist finally escaped through various attempts.
Film perception:
Germany's blitzkrieg against European countries not only defeated the cities of the European countries, but most of the people also lost their faith in survival. François Lettrell was a lieutenant of the French army. Unfortunately, he was imprisoned as a prisoner. He escaped twice. The first time he was caught trying to jump out of a driving car, he was brutally beaten after being defeated. The second time he escaped from prison. Successful, most of the film is to pave the way for his second successful escape from prison.
The protagonist in prison is the only one who wants to escape. In order to survive, he does not hesitate to lose his life and try his best to escape the bottomless abyss. Everyone in prison felt that he was too fanciful about the plan. Even though he had learned that he was going to be sentenced to death, he still did not give up his plan to escape from prison. On the contrary, he accelerated his progress.
When he was declared to be executed by the warden, the distance from the warden to his room was a sad road. He might be shot immediately or taken to a new room (the one who escaped from prison) There will be no tools), this journey caused him endless sadness to haunt his heart.
When he was about to escape from prison, he came in with a new roommate. This roommate was dressed in the uniform of the German army and was working for the Nazis before coming in. François Lettrell’s escape plan was disrupted by his roommates. Either killed him and escaped alone, or presented a plan to him and acted together. He swings between the two and cannot choose. This is straightforward. Human nature, killing him ashamed of his conscience, and telling him the plan is in danger of leaking secrets. Faced with this choice, the protagonist's inner kindness still prevailed, and he chose to escape from prison with him.
The story of the film is complicated and simplified. The plot is designed around escape from prison. The characters don’t have too many expressions. The first is that they are in the context of World War II. The second is that the characters are in prison. The third is that the characters are in prison. It is the simplicity of facial expressions, which can make the audience's attention shift to the storyline. I see only one episode in the film that expresses intense emotions, and that is François Lettrell crying indoors when he learned of the death penalty. Since the picture is expressionless, as an audio-visual art, the film must have one aspect outstanding in terms of vision and hearing. The biggest feature of this film is that the sound effect runs through the whole film. The attractiveness of the picture is relatively weakened, but the sound effect is very Excellent, can make people immersive with the sound effects.
