Review of Papillon (2017) by Berik — 06 Aug 2019
A story about a man that was too arrogant, and got himself into jail. From that point on, his story transforms into one about heroism and strength as he never gives up on his hope to escape the hellish prison in French Genua in 1931. .
What strikes me the most from watching this movie, is the sheer strength in Papillon to survive 7 years of solitary prison, and yet not give up. By the time he does escape, and probably settles in Venezuela, the world is at the tipping point of going into World War II. For this man however, that must have weight much less considering what he has been through.
Despite what some critics are saying with 'this movie offers little', I judge every story for what it is. And the story in this movie was very interesting and entertaining to watch. It's an excellent movie, and I give it an 8/10.
