Just to not surrender

Oppose actor guidance, oppose scene scheduling. No accent is more natural, no action is more reasonable. Movies are about the art of "nothing", not about the art of "being". Falsity is accumulated, so audiences are accustomed to specific movies; truth is cut out, and people who are accustomed to appreciating "performance" cannot recognize the human nature of it. The audience is not the reader of the book, the audience of the drama, the spectator of the exhibition, or the audience of the concert. So you don't need to satisfy the literary taste, the drama interest, the painting feature, and the music feature. Models are greater than actors: the models are from the outside to the inside, and the actors are from the inside to the outside. The model exists and the actors perform. People should exist, but they should not be touched. Why try to use sound instead of images? The ears are positive and the eyes are negative. Two-dimensional and plane are larger than three-dimensional and three-dimensional. Editing the film is to connect different eyes, the eyes of people to people, the eyes of people to things, the eyes of things to things, and the eyes of things to people.

Knowing that, Jacques Baker’s "The Hole" should not be scored so high. This prison escape film four years ahead of schedule leads more. Compared with that, this film is desperate enough. He was afraid of death, but he was afraid that the noise would cause him to die early, so he moved slightly. All sights are things, humans have no wholeness, and utterances have no sense of being alive. The expression is single, even if his colleague is dead, he still has that expression. This is his own struggle. The caretaker has no face, no scenes of beatings, no scenes of shooting, and "The Hole" is all a struggle with people. Order is not established by people. When people leave, order becomes architectural existence, walls and doors. Compared with the power of people, the power of things is better. The escape of death row prisoners is a victory of will, but not an individual will. The arrival of the prisoner is as sudden as his sentence, and it must begin before he is ready. Instinct is higher than rationality. Other lives are like ghosts. Bresson restores reality in this way. It is stronger than "The Hole" and stronger than "The Shawshank's Redemption"-this is not a movie about whether the result is triumphant or not, but a movie about how the process struggles.

    The escape section is very good, and the silence becomes more and more suffocating. The foreshadowing part is plain, maybe this is the style of the master cloth, I will watch a few more in the future

    After that, I have seen so many prison break movies that are several times more sophisticated than this plot design, but now watching this old man, he clearly knew the ending was a success, but his heart still clenched tightly at the end, "He left our jackets and leather shoes. On the roof but I didn't say anything"
