movie "Papillon" was filmed from the classic prison escape film of the same name starring Steve McQueen and Dustin Hoffman in 1973. It tells the story of the French "Papillon" professional pickpocket Henry Shari in 1930 A story about Ein being arrested and imprisoned for the murder of a pimp and exiled to a forced labor camp called "Devil's Island" in Guyana to serve his life sentence. The nickname "Papillon" is named after the butterfly-shaped tattoo on his chest. In French, "Papillon" means "butterfly".
From the day he entered the prison, Papillon planned to escape, but the escape requires money to bribe guards and purchase escape ships. So he turned his attention to Louis, who was arrested for forging documents and embezzling public funds. Louis is sure that his wife will use their property to bail him. At the same time, Louis needs Papillon's help to protect him from other criminals who want to steal his money. Papillon agreed to his request. In exchange, Louis wanted to help him escape from the island. Papillon would not give up his attempt to escape from prison under any hardship. He took advantage of the opportunity of pushing the railcar to discuss the price of the boat ride with the boss who escorted the prostitute, and took the money hidden in Louis’s stomach, taking advantage of the time to carry the body. The soldier who wounded and beat Louise ran away to the beach. Because he had no money, he was escorted back to prison by the shipowner. Papillon was imprisoned in a single cell, during which time he secretly accepted the coconut from Louis, who was a prison accountant. It's just that the matter was revealed, he didn't even admit who gave him the coconut. In order to punish him, the warden halved his vegetable soup and food. Two years later, he was almost starved to death. Instead, he pretended to be crazy, joined the alliance, and fled again in the rainy night.
They fled to the sea, because the boat was small and could not accommodate four people, so they had a dispute. Louis was about to be killed, Papillon came forward to protect Louis, Louis picked up a knife, and ended up trying to kill his prisoner. After experiencing the storm, they were rescued by the indigenous people on the small island, but Papillon still had to go home. On the way home, he saw the police coming to arrest them. He went back to rescue Louis, but both were arrested. After five years of imprisonment, Papillon was detained in the Devil's Island prison surrounded by the sea, where he met Louis, who was also imprisoned. They move freely, but they cannot escape.
Papillon still did not give up his desire to escape. He observed the waves of the sea and came to the decision that he could escape by being a raft. They put the empty coconut shells in sack and threw them into the sea as a raft. However, Louis did not want to escape and acquiesced to a hapless life. Papillon leaped vertically and horizontally, jumped into the sea, and was driven by the tide to escape from the Devil's Island in a sacks full of empty coconuts. In his later years, he wrote an autobiography and wanted to publish his own book.
Papillon was misjudged from the very beginning. He was innocent but was imprisoned mercilessly. Innocence was the driving force for his escape. He ran away twice and failed. He was imprisoned for seven years, and was beaten severely and sentenced to hard labor. He realized the sins of human nature. Only Louis was his most reliable friend and his most trustworthy friend. . No one else is good, they are all fancy money, only he fancy freedom.
This prison escape movie is equivalent to "Shawshank's Redemption", with ups and downs, thrilling, evil yet humane Guan Hui. Among them, the most memorable thing is the belief that Papillon escapes, no matter how much torture, how many failures, and how many betrayals, he will remain unswerving and finally be free. This kind of belief is something that most people in the sad world do not possess...
