Escape from Yakala is a biopic directed by Don Higel and starring Clint Eastwood, Paul Benjamin and others, which shows a real prison escape in American history and is filmed in the original location of the prison where the incident occurred, which is very restorative.
Located on the coast of San Francisco, Yakala Prison was one of the most heavily defended prisons in the United States, because the prison was built on an isolated island, so it was very difficult to escape, it was easy to freeze to death in the water, and in 1962, led by the robber Frank Morris (Clint Eastwood), he escaped from the prison with a pair of habitual prisoners, the Angelin brothers, and then the police found only some of the remaining items, and no one knows whether they are dead or alive.
Although the film is derived from a true story and adds a lot of points to it, the film still has a big problem in sharing bacteria, and the people who escape from prison are real criminals, which is different from the scene where the protagonist is planted or wronged in other prison escape film and television works. The most touching thing about this kind of movie is the protagonist's yearning for freedom when they escape from the shackles of the cage, so the justice of the characters themselves must be upheld, but the three people who escaped from this film are not good people, and the only car thief with a lesser crime did not escape because he did not hear the call of the three people that night, and the three felony prisoners went out instead.
As for the details of the escape, the essence of this kind of movie digging holes to escape has not changed much, the only bright spot is the various plots and commands of frank Morris, a high-IQ criminal who led the escape, teaching others to dig vents, weld with matches, change microphones into electric drills, and make rafts into raincoats.
Although the character is very attractive, it is still difficult to make people feel empathy for him, after all, they have criminal experiences, although the film shows a process in which the warden deprives the criminal of his right to paint because the criminal secretly paints him and finally drives the painter crazy, but it is still difficult to make people sympathize with the robber.
But this is no way, the real story is like this, the crew can not change the plot, although the film shows this process is not very positive, but the experience of the three people successfully escaping from prison still makes people see the importance of knowledge, wisdom and courage, even escaping from prison needs knowledge to promote, those children have no reason not to learn well.
