The "hard and noble" image world

In an interview, Jia Zhangke once commented on Bresson’s films, praising them for their "hardness" and "noble" beauty. This is meant to interpret the characteristics of Bresson’s film art and thought, that is, it has a kind of " "Clear and clear" style. Compared with other obscure masters, Brinell’s films, whether in terms of characters, stories, lens use, and the relationship between characters and the world, all present the purity and simplicity of simplicity and complexity, such as "Death Prison Escape". Brinell’s masterpiece, the overall image is fast-paced and cut hard, which exactly corresponds to the tension of the characters and the audience’s mental state; and from the perspective of storytelling, the focus and demonstration of the movie is only the protagonist’s prison escape action. Mental vibration and reaction. The simplicity of these qualities originated from the director's essential thinking about the world, people, and film art. In other words, Brinell used the film to think about his ultimate questioning of the world, people, film art, and beliefs.

Specific to "Death Prison Escape", the center of the film shows the confrontation between man and the alienated world, that is, the process of death row prisoner Fang Danny using his personal will to smash the ideological state apparatus (Nazi death row). In order to realize his dream of successfully breaking out of prison, Fontane must continue to smash the three forces that hinder him: first, the prison of physical entities, second, the denial of the inmates on whether the escape can be successful, and third, the constant in his heart. The resulting weakness. In the end, Fontaney ushered in his "Messiah" and walked on the road to openness and light outside the prison. However, Fontani’s success was not won by the indomitable struggle of a personal will. The yeast that really matured success was actually faith and trust. When he was helpless, the faith manifested itself as the words in the Bible provided by the pastor and the pastor inmates (a note from the pastor to Fontaine, the copy of Jesus’ to the Pharisees in the “Gospel of John” Nicodemus said: "I said,'You must be born again.' Don't think this is a miracle. The wind blows wherever you want, and you hear the sound of the wind, but you don't know where it comes from and where it goes." ); Trust is more reflected. There is his trust in the "traitor" Jost who is in the same cell, and the strong support of his neighbors (the old man who often communicates with Fang Dani across the room, one Begin to deny Fang Danni's approach, but in the end, he firmly supported and trusted him), these "faiths" were twisted together and became a piece of nothingness in the hollow of Fang Danni's journey through the prison. rope.

Relying on this rope of "faith", Fontaney connects the inside and outside world, himself and others, eliminates the "existence and nothingness" of the alienated world, and wins the "resurrection" of life. This just confirms the words in the Bible: "This world is fading away, but those who do God's will live forever." Perhaps this kind of original "faith" and accompanying faithfulness is the result of Bresson's thinking, and it has also constructed Brinell's "hard and noble" image world.
