The male protagonist of this prison escape film, Frank Morris, is played by veteran Western cowboy Clint Eastwood. The main intention of the first half of the film is to highlight that no one in Yakala Prison has ever been able to escape from prison successfully, and that the warden is an asshole and a bastard, and the male protagonist cannot go; the escape link in the second half is thrilling and exciting, and the atmosphere is not dare to come out, and he is always worried. Although I have read countless films in recent years, it is rare to be so nervous.
Although the film is not as famous as "The Shawshank Redemption", it is no exaggeration to say that it is the originator of "The Shawshank Redemption", and the two films have many similarities, especially in the details of the prison escape. The male protagonists have successfully dug up escape passages using a spoon and a wall in perennial disrepair in prison; the stones dug up have been twisted into powder and scattered outside during the wind; and a black caretaker has appeared who distributes books and can get a lot of necessary supplies. Therefore, it should be said that the key core of "The Shawshank Redemption" is borrowed from this movie.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="01" > the identity settings of the two male protagonists are different</h1>
The male protagonist of "Escape from Yakala" is a professional escapeist, and there is not much explanation for what crime he has committed; while the male protagonist of "The Shawshank Redemption" is a banker who has been unjustly imprisoned, and because the audience has natural sympathy for the male protagonist in "The Shawshank Redemption", he has more recognition for his "escape day".
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="02" > the cycle of escapes between the two male protagonists is different</h1>
The male protagonist of "Escape from Yakala" is a professional, and it does not take long to escape from prison, and he also brought out the other two to escape together; the male protagonist in "The Shawshank Redemption" decided to escape in the later stages, which took a very long time, of course, the most refreshing punishment of the warden and took his property away.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="03" > the narrative methods of the two pieces are different</h1>
"Escape from Yakara" is a direct narrative, what happens is told, while "The Shawshank Redemption" uses a supplementary narrative in the way of escaping from prison, and finally tells us how the male protagonist escaped, so the suspense is designed to be stronger, and the process cannot be guessed until the last moment.
Escape from Akala was set on Alcatraz Island in San Francisco Bay, where the prison has now become a scenic spot, as well as a major action movie blockbuster, Escape from Alcatraz, by Nicolas Cage.
