1. "Why?" "For the fight. Against the walls and the door, against myself. You should fight too, Mr. Blanchett, and there is hope." "What hope?" "To go home, to be free "Freedom?" "Someone's waiting for you." "No." "Friends?" "I don't have friends." "That's a struggle, too, for everyone here. Take care of yourself." "And then what?" "I looked at you, and that gave me courage." "If I had the courage, I would have killed myself. I tried, I made a noose out of a shoelace, but the nail fell off." "And then?" "I Heard someone tapping." "That's me, why don't you answer?" "Why answer?" 2. "He can't wait any longer." "Why? Totally lost hope?" "Too much for a new life hope." "A new life?" "Maybe that's what Christ said, that you must be born again. I wrote you down what Christ said to Nicodemus." "Nicodemus asked: When a How can a man be born again when he is old? Can he be born again in his mother's womb? Jesus answered him, "It is not a miracle that I say you will be born again. The wind blows where it thinks, and you do not know it." Where did it come from."

[John 3:4] Nicodemus said, "How can a man be born again when he is old? Can he go into his mother's womb and be born again?" [John 3:5] Jesus said, "I tell you the truth. You: Unless a man is born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. [John 3:6] He that is born of the flesh is flesh, and he that is born of the Spirit is spirit. [John 3:7] I said, Do not be surprised that you must be born again. [John 3:8] The wind blows as it wishes, and you hear the sound of the wind, but you do not know where it comes from and where it goes; so it is with all who are born of the Holy Spirit.

Here, the prison is the body, and the prisoner is the soul. Bresson denies that human beings are born sinful, and re-understands rebirth—rebirth in this world, rebirth from sin and judgment, and escape from the bondage of the flesh. The soul of man, free and innocent.

    The functions of the actors are reduced, the dialogue is minimal, and the narration runs throughout. It is not the time of the event but the psychological time that feels more. Sound effects are used to express cramped environments and tense processes. The audience is forced to stand in the same position as the characters and take the same actions, leaving no room for moral judgment, even when the protagonist is faced with the dilemma of what to do with his accomplices. The soundtrack is a short segment of Mozart's Mass in C minor that recurs.

    The unmarked shots, the silent performance, the minimalist form and the inner monologue make the single action event of "prison break" relaxed and very beautiful. Jia Zhangke said the film gave him a lot of inspiration
