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

    The original versions of "Shawshank" and "Prison Break" can be found in various classic sections. Compared with the other two derivative works, the rhythm of the film is more stable and sophisticated but also blunt, lacking the characterization and the suddenness of the plot. The tone of the rendering is more depressing.

    There is really a lack of artistic rendering of the real story. And in one of the toughest prisons in the country at the time, the civility and politeness that everyone showed in the beginning was outrageous. --The short comment with the highest praise is also absolutely excellent, and it is low enough to deliberately touch Tehran and Shawshank to deceive and praise.
