quiet art

The discussion about the girlfriend was very interesting, and the time was so short to get out of prison. After opening the door, there was a shadow hanging on the wall. There is such a feeling that after the intense rhythm, the narrative is calm but unpleasant, and then the mountains and rains are about to come and the wind is full of wind. "This door is only opened three times, come in, serve the sentence, and die." The prison guard listening to Wagner whipping the prisoner is probably the starting point of some kind of archetype, just like "Killer Leon", earlier than "The Hole" and later "The Great Phantom" . Matches are lights, boxes are mountains, and chess is soldiers. Prison is like a miniature society, showing the struggle against power and institutions. "No reason, no thinking, just brute force." The scene of being tied to a minecart and rushing out and being shot to death was really shocking... I suddenly thought that it was also a kind of quiet beauty, and the emotions of each character were not too much. , the last explosion came as a surprise, an accident. The brothers were killed quickly, the flame train crashed into the gate, and although the tyranny was overthrown, happiness failed to come as promised. Those beautiful hopes were all wiped out by the god of death. The empty R17 prison, "When I know a person is in prison, he must want to leave as soon as possible." The broken wall at the end is very similar to "The Big Bowling Murder Mystery"

    Flashbacks, snakes and scorpions, the impossibility of a perfect plan... These old objects were grafted onto new limbs such as closed spaces, tough guy group dramas, and social criticism. Dassin was really a character who was a film noir after the war.

    The lines are too romantic, the men in prison are all amorous, and in the last ten minutes of the escape, the doctor and the villain acted too well. Guard Captain Munsey, the incarnation of a totalitarian tyrant, is very successful in shaping him, reminiscent of the role played by Zhang Yaoyang in Lin Lingdong's later "Prison", which is far worse than this film. The bell in the fire is always especially evil.

Brute Force quotes

  • Joe Collins: [Spencer is wavering about whether to join in with Joe's escape plan] Spencer. In or out? No guarantees go with this break. It's all or nothing. But you've gotta' make up your mind now. Now! Either way, no hard feelings.

    Spencer: [after long, thoughtful pause] With you, Joe. I'll play along.

    Robert 'Soldier' Becker: I never thought different.

    Spencer: Neither did I.

  • Warden A.J. Barnes: [In the Warden's office: things at the prison have gotten progressively worse] What's the answer to it? Are we going to have to keep every prisoner in ritual solitary? Other prisons must have the same problems, but they clear them up, keep things running smoothly.

    Captain Munsey: We've been through difficult times before, Warden.

    Warden A.J. Barnes: Oh, never like this. And McCollum is coming tomorrow. Why? Why can't he let me alone? Everything's gone wrong. I don't know who's to blame, but... I do know that every prisoner hates us.

    Captain Munsey: Not us. Me. It's ME they hate.

    Dr. Walters: [Sarcastically] I wonder why?

    Captain Munsey: [to Dr. Walters] You put on a guard's uniform and see how much they love YOU.

    Captain Munsey: [Directing his attention to the Warden] You talk to the prisoners over a loudspeaker. I talk to them with a club. You only MAKE the rules. I have to enforce them.

    Warden A.J. Barnes: Maybe it's the way you enforce them.

    Captain Munsey: Maybe it is.
