Every year, spring and summer, both seasons are the seasons of caterpillars, and butterflies multiply and grow in these two seasons, breaking the cocoon and reborn as butterflies.
Butterflies symbolize freedom and beauty, and after breaking out of the cocoon, they become butterflies, which has a sublimation meaning from ugliness to beauty, and butterflies also symbolize some successful images.
butterfly
Butterflies are loyal to couples, only one companion in life, and are one of the representatives of loyalty in the insect world, butterflies are regarded as symbols of auspiciousness and beauty, such as butterflies that love flowers are often used to imply sweet love and happy marriage.
This is why in the Chinese movie "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai", it finally turned into a butterfly, rather than into other flying insects.
The male protagonist, Henry Charle, an authentic Frenchman, was exiled to Alcatraz island for being framed and murdered by someone, and the male protagonist had a tattoo of a butterfly tattooed on his chest, which was called a babylon, and the Papillon corresponding to "Babylon" is a French word, meaning butterfly. It means that even if the power is small, we must persist in breaking through the shackles, pursuing freedom, and proving ourselves.
Two male protagonists
The male protagonist Henry has always been dissatisfied with this verdict because he is framed, although he is a thief, but he is very resistant to the murder imposed on him, which belongs to the real nonsense! So he has been thinking about how to escape from prison since the moment he was arrested, and on the way to serve his sentence, he met Luis Dega, the second male who was also going to Alcatraz.
At first Henry only wanted Degas to have money to approach him, but in the end the two people really became friends of life and death.
Celier
The same Celier also has a tattoo of a swallow on his body, and the swallow is also a symbol of freedom, although he was once a partner who escaped from prison together, but in the face of human nature, he was eventually killed by Degas.
These prisoners in Alcatraz Island are people who have lost their free bodies, far away from the country, and the swallows have the habit of migrating north and south, and the swallows in the cage at this time cannot return to their homes, which is also a deeper meaning of the director.
Still
Butterflies undergo several molts before they break out of their cocoons to become butterflies, undergoing the baptism of wind and rain and the capture of various predators, while the male protagonist Henry has gone to another island during his first escape and the second escape, and was finally betrayed by the nun and caught back. During this period, he experienced a full 7 years, and was arrested for the first time and locked up in a separate prison for 2 years. The second time he was caught, it took 5 years, and the third time if he was caught, he was executed directly. These processes are the transformation of butterflies again and again, and although the process is difficult, the heart that desires to survive and desire freedom has never been knocked down. He had also encountered despair, and he wanted to strangle himself to death, but thinking of his girlfriend who was far away, and Degas was still insisting on sending him coconuts, he did not give up.
At the time of the third escape, when he was about to break out of the cocoon, he knew that this time he would either die or live, and if he was caught, he would be summarily executed, and if he was not caught, he would be free. Degas has lost hope in life after 7 years of captivity, so he is afraid of death and arrest. Henry, on the other hand, is not afraid of death, he is afraid of losing the meaning and direction of life. Although he was imprisoned in solitary confinement for 7 years, his faith and obsession never died, and he always burned in his heart and never extinguished.
In the end, he succeeded, and the hand-painted butterfly that Degas sent finally became a butterfly that flew freely in this world, a true free body. Faith does not die, you are your king, you are the master of your life! I hope all the little friends can live freely every day!!
