A Man Escaped
Immanuel 2022-03-23 09:02:48
A "raw" movie that deals with courage and belief. A Man Escaped does not try to trick audiences into believing or disbelieving anything, the catch of the film lies in its attempt to present the true feelings of a inmate during the Second World War. Fontaine is able to escape not because he possessed any superhuman attributes, but simply because he has the determination and faith for freedom, and for this, he should be seen as a true hero. The movie is also memorable for its sound effects, especially the sounds of minor details that truly enhance the experience of our viewing.

It's like listening to Francis talk about his own escape process. Although the process is really believable, it is also a little dull due to the lack of turbulent ups and downs. In comparison, it is the 1960 film "The Hole" with a gripping plot and ups and downs. "I am more impressed. As for the well-known "The Shawshank Redemption", a lot of space is spent on the living conditions of various people in prison, unlike "Death Row Escape" and "The Hole" are more pure escape movies.

Bresson is known as the "Master of Minimalism", and has a very strong minimalist style in "Pickpocket" and "Death Convict Escape" (I have only seen these two for the time being). Simplicity is no modification or as little modification as possible. The former is the action of pickpockets stealing things, and the latter is the process of escape from prison. The strongest reality is in front of the camera. This witty pursuit of details is an unparalleled experience for the audience. The unpretentious shots, editing, and recurring incidents of side-by-side hits, this direct and graceful contrast, constitute the great interest of Bresson's films.

Le lieutenant Fontaine: Do you believe in luck?
François Jost: I used to. It didn't work out.
Le lieutenant Fontaine: Maybe you're the one who blew it.

Le lieutenant Fontaine: [Narrating, after giving his word to the prison warden that he would not try to escape again] Who were we kidding? He certainly did not believe me. As for myself, I was determined to escape at the first opportunity.
