We all have to protect what is hidden in our hearts, no one can control it, no one can imprison it

"Escape from Akara" is a very realistic movie, which tells one thing so plainly. Eastwood plays Frank with few words and excellent IQ. The film doesn't even explain why the protagonist went to jail. It seems that there is only one purpose for his imprisonment and that is to escape from prison. Let's start with the doctor who paints the oil painting. The inmates are letting out the wind in the square. Eastwood walks over and asks the doctor, what is the flower on the chest of the figure on the oil painting? The doctor said, this is something deep in my heart, something they can't control. This is the best line of the film. In Yakala Prison, there is cold water all around, and no one can escape. Only those who try to escape and are more difficult to manage will be sent here, trying to lock everything here. So when the old doctor guards the things in his heart and paints oil paintings every day, he should be free. It was only the warden who searched the dormitory and saw the warden drawn by the doctor. He might be dissatisfied, so he mercilessly deprived him of the right to paint oil paintings. The doctor who had nothing to say did not resist. In the working factory, the doctor borrowed an axe and chopped off half of his hand without hesitation. Such an accusation was thorough and decisive, but the film did not address the incident. The performance is more profound, but a stroke, only showing Eastwood's anger. In the film's successor "Shawshank's Redemption", this event was amplified, which is the most touching point of the film. In prison, Eastwood hardly encountered any opposition forces, and the only fat man who was interested in him had no fighting power at all. Besides, Eastwood's friends are always helping him, helping him avoid the Dark Arrow. This low-spoken high IQ man seems to have known from the first day that he must escape. Therefore, the black friends in the prison library always say "bye, boy". This simple sentence contains a deep sense of sympathy. In the second half of the movie, the preparations to dig a hole to escape from prison make people twitchy, because the prison guards are turning around at any time to patrol, which intensifies this tension. Eastwood was calm throughout the whole process and played a leading role. The two brothers were also more optimistic. They should like the escape type. As for the friend in the dormitory next door to Eastwood, at first we did not see his shrinking. And fear, but the film shows that his mother is dying, his girlfriend said I love you when visiting prison, he showed a strong desire to escape from prison at first. At the critical moment, he flinched and got scared. This also shows from the side that most people in prison want to escape, and it takes courage to actually escape, which is why many people regard courage as the most important quality of life. The video is Based on real events, Yakala is now a tourist attraction. Who would have thought that in the escape incident that year, the whereabouts of the three escaped persons are still unknown, which adds to the extended meaning of the film. When it was released in 1979, such a film was not Less than the feeling when Shawshank was released in the 90s. The real roughness of "Escape from Yakara" laid the foundation for the great success of "Shawshank's Redemption" in the future. By comparison, Shawshank’s inheritance and adaptation of escaping from Yakara, as well as his artistic treatment, is more profound. The eternal proposition of hope that it expresses has made many people stand up and continue to work hard. At the end of escaping from Yakara, the flower that was crushed by the warden reappeared on the beach. When the warden saw the flower, the three people who escaped from prison were missing. This is a great irony, Yakara. The prison was closed a year later. So why do everyone like prison escape movies, the ease of escape, we call it the realization of hope, in fact, the more profound thing behind this is that we all like the sense of conquest that life spans big obstacles, such as "Langya Bang" This drama, everything in the drama is under control, who doesn't like the unstoppable rise in life. Therefore, no matter how rough "Escape from Yakara", "Shawshank's Redemption" has made great use of it, we must guard the things that are hidden in our hearts. No one can control or imprison them.

    It was still very exciting, my heart was in my throat, I clenched my fists and watched the final escape sequence, and the police blew the whistle and breathed a sigh of relief, but I was exhausted! The control of the rhythm and the handling of some details are rather hasty and unfinished.

    The later "Shark's Redemption" somewhat imitated this film, although some plots are still a bit far-fetched, but it is a very good film.
