A milestone in prison escape movie

Director: Dong Sigel Starring: Clint Eastwood I watched this movie with curiosity (see how the raincoat is used to escape from prison) and reverence. Although this movie has some minor flaws, it is still one of the most classic prison escape movies. I think this movie has an impact on the later two classic movies, "Shawshank's Redemption" (1995) and "Green Miracle" (1999). Very big, the latter two can be found in "Escape from Yakara" in many ways. So I think it’s best to watch this movie before evaluating the latter two classic movies

    Classical Prison Break Films: "Dead Convict Escape" 1956, "The Hole" 1960, "The Great Escape" 1963, "Escape from Akara" 1979, "Shawshank's Redemption" 1994. The first few parts are all classic realism, through the detailed description of the high transcendence technique, as well as the rendering of suspense and tension, let us and the protagonist experience the intense and exciting prison escape process. Although the last "Shawshank's Redemption" obviously borrowed from the film, it can surpass the film and become a classic also thanks to its sublimation in artistic and connotative expression, as well as the powerful emotional motivation in the story.

    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.
