Two days ago, when the sharing fungus was reading a novel, he stumbled upon the prison escape movie "Babylon", and the author of the novel at that time thought that the film's belief in freedom was very inspiring, and the sharing fungus felt that he could not miss this movie.
But after carefully searching this movie, I found that many people think that this movie completely surpasses the classic inspirational movie "The Shawshank Redemption", which is more curious, so the sharing fungus watched the 2017 version of "Babylon", and today I will comment on the advantages and disadvantages of these two movies for everyone.
Poster for the 2017 edition of "Babylon"
"Babylon" this movie sharing mushroom to see the 2017 version, compared to the 1973 classic version, the new version is only a remake, the plot is not much different, both versions of the film are derived from the real person Henry Charlele's memoir "Babylon" adaptation, the content shown in the film also really existed.
The movie "Babylon" tells the story of a habitual thief in the 1830s who was planted with a murder case for offending a gang boss, and when he learned that he could not obtain his innocence through legal means, he had to start plotting to escape from prison because Henry Charlele had a butterfly (Papillon) tattoo on his chest, and was known as Babylon, where he met Louis Degas, a millionaire who forged securities, and the two conspired to escape.
The first escape was when carrying a dead body, Degas, as a former high-class figure, could not get used to blood and death, and when the prison guards attacked Degas, Barbiron injured the prison guards and bought a crew member to prepare to flee, but he did not expect to be sold to the prison by the crew, and when he returned, he was imprisoned for two years, but gained Degas's respect.
After pretending to be crazy in prison for two years, Babylon returned to the ordinary cell, and at this time Degas was also appreciated by the warden because of his culture, and he also began to gain a certain status, and the two met again and immediately began a new escape plan, this time they found two helpers, originally using the prison leader to escape while watching a movie, but did not expect that the prison was tripping due to rain, and the crowd escaped very easily.
After the wooden boat reached the other shore, the cautious Papillon wanted to continue the escape, while Degas, who had fallen on the road, chose to rest with the rest, and they decided to part ways. But Babillon, who had just gone far, found the arrival of the prison guards, it turned out that the locals had secretly contacted the prison, for their friend Babylon found Degas again, but did not expect that at this time they could not escape, and the guy who fled with them died under the guns of the prison guards.
The two-time fleeing Babylon was taken care of after being arrested, and the five-year single-man imprisonment was almost maddening, but The Babylon persevered and once again met degas to escape, only this time Degas had lost the idea of escaping and decided to spend his life in prison, this time Babilon made a raft with a bagged coconut shell, jumped from the cliff to the "Alcatraz Island" for imprisonment, and as the waves found freedom, he returned to France many years later, handed over his memoirs to the publishing house, and the whole world knew how dark the French exile prison was It also saw Barbiron's lifelong yearning for freedom.

In fact, from the complexity of the story, the movie plot of "Babylon" is indeed more complicated than "The Shawshank Redemption", and the living conditions are worse, and the male protagonist's yearning for freedom is more obvious.
But the brilliance of the movie is not limited to the storyline, the male protagonist of "The Shawshank Redemption" is a completely innocent banker, which first makes people feel innocent, while the male protagonist of "Babylon" is a habitual thief and is ready to flee with a securities fraudster, and the direction of the story is not so bright and just.
And the male protagonist Andy in "The Shawshank Redemption" has been learning knowledge and then getting the way to freedom from books, the escape of "Babilon" is relatively simple, buying a ship and then finding an opportunity to climb over the wall to go out, from the complexity of the story, "Babylon" has lost another step.
But the impact of "Babylon" is far from being comparable to "The Shawshank Redemption", which only focuses on the corruption in a prison, while "Babylon" exposes the dark system of an era, abusing and even killing prisoners at will, not only limited to one prison, and the experience of "Babylon" allows more people to understand these prisoners who are bullied at will, and also makes this exile prison system quickly banned, saving countless people.
The most poignant thing is that even when these prisoners sleep at night with chains on their feet and cannot move at all, let alone go to the toilet, how many of these prisoners have been planted is unknown.
So comparing the two movies "BabiLong" and "The Shawshank Redemption", it is obvious that the latter's plot is more delicate and more acceptable, while "Babylon" makes people see a darker history and remembers the strange man's lifelong pursuit of freedom, the two can be described as inseparable, but the sharing fungus feels that watching movies with friends is suitable for watching "The Shawshank Redemption", and if you want to understand the meaning of freedom, you must watch "Babylon".
