It has nothing to do with freedom, nothing to do with wastage, it is life

At first it was escape from prison, then it was the pursuit of freedom. At the end, two gray-haired men stood on the edge of the cliff, one jumped off and the other turned around and returned to the vegetable garden. Only then did I realize that it has nothing to do with freedom, pursuit, or whether or not to waste life, it is life.
Did Papillon really drift from the sharks to the mainland? Have you really found the freedom to pursue a lifetime on the other side of the mainland?
Does it matter? For an old man with a hunched back, how much time and how much space can be considered freedom? Is it enough for the rest of my life and Dustin Hoffman's vegetable garden island?
Choose jailbreak as the goal and stick to the life of jailbreak; or choose jailbreak as the goal, and then give up; it's all life.

    McQueen's Papillon looks exactly like what his "The Great Escape" character had in mind a decade ago, thinking only of escape from the moment he was caught in jail. It's just that Papillon's escape motive is less just than other prison escape movies. After all, he is not without blemishes, and where did his accomplice Hoffman hide so much money, it always makes no sense to scrutinize. More appropriate as an adventure theme.

    Good movie, better in thought than Shawshank
