John lived in prison and had to be sent to be his personal tutor and bodyguard. John, who was only free, actually agreed: it turned out that the prosecutor who had let him enter the palace many times since he was 8 years old was Nelson's father. John has long wanted to personally solve the "enemy" that made him a prisoner. Who knows that the enemy had a heart attack before he laid hands on him, and John, who could not put out the fire of revenge, just seized this godsend opportunity and asked Nelson to "pay his father's debts".
After careful arrangement, John became Nelson's roommate. On the surface, he took his younger brother Nelson to learn how to adapt to prison life. Nelson, who had no idea of darkness and evil in prison, was sold to the most terrible gay black boss as a plaything by John under the banner of "patron saint" before he could take precautions.

Due to the complex of evil, punishment, humanitarianism and other words, Hollywood prison themes, especially prison break movies, always have a broad market and emerge one after another: Babylonia, Green Mile, In My Father's Name and The Shawshank Redemption are all masterpieces in the history of movies, and Birdman in Alcatraz, 1962, is the most in history. In 2005, Fox's TV series "Prison Break", with its exquisite suspense and true presentation of prison ecology, made the United States and even the whole world join the pursuit team of such themes crazily.
In Prison Break, two brothers racked their brains to escape, but their cohabiting cellmate shouted the slogan "Let's go to jail". Different from the restless predecessors, "Living Together with Prisoners" also has the element of "unjust imprisonment", but it is not to teach authentic experience; This guide to prison life with tears in laughter is adapted from Jim Hogshire's You're Going to Prison: Jim Hogshire, a former criminal, summed up and described his life in a high wall and compiled a manual on how to survive in a prison. It is called one of the most chilling books ever. Because the detailed description of the abuse suffered by prisoners and the struggle between prisoners and prison guards is full of blood and rancor, which is completely beyond the ethical and physiological bottom line of normal people. The most unacceptable thing is that all these evils already exist and are happening. The film intercepts important plots that truly reflect prison life in the book, such as homosexuality, sodomy, fighting, confinement, etc., among which "potting cocktails" and other tricks are unheard of in screen prisons; At the same time, it also reflects the social problems rarely involved in similar films: according to the figures released by the US Department of Justice, by June 2005, the national, state and local prisons in the United States had accommodated 265,438+086,230 prisoners, that is, nearly 70% of the nationals were in prison, which was related to social ills such as crime, poverty and illegal immigration, among which Nelson was unjustly imprisoned and John was repeatedly imprisoned.
A black comedy is black enough and needs humor. Mark Abraham, the producer of the film, teamed up with the three musketeers behind the 90-year MTV ace show The State: screenwriters Robert galante, thomas lennon and Michael Patrick Jane to write the script. Subsequently, bob odenkirk, the screenwriter and famous TV comedian of 1995 popular humorous short play "Mr. Show with Bob and David", was invited as the director, who was famous for his sensitive comedy cells. Dax shepard won the favor of jessica simpson with Cook in "Star Employee" last month, and he soon entered the director's sight. His funny temperament in sitcoms accords with John's image. He is a gangster who knows prison like the back of his hand and is eager for revenge. The role of prison freshman Nixon, who is completely different from John, was finalized when the producer happened to see will arnett who was put in prison in the series Arrested for Development. The black boss who fell in love with Nelson in prison and reformed him was played by Chi McBride, who began to take the comedy route in 1993, and his most familiar role in China audience should be the upright President Harper in The Storm of Colleges and Universities.
Play a prank at the scene of a nightmare
Prison is the most important role in making prison movies. After searching around in Los Angeles, Pittsburgh and new york, the crew chose Joliet Labor Camp in Chicago. Anyone who knows the history of American movies or prison bars will not be unfamiliar with this name. This Gothic stone building was once the largest prison in America. Before it stopped operating in 2002, it held as many as 65,438+0,300 prisoners and held the Chicago murderer john wayne gacy. Spike and other felons, gang leader Al? Capone, Jeffrey the gay cannibal? Mo Dan and ted bundy, a serial rapist and murderer, were once famous tenants here. Joliet labor camp is a hell on earth full of nightmares and depravity, and it is also a holy place for horror movie fans. Many famous film and television works were also shot here, and the most exciting one is the world-famous Prison Break. Most of the scenes in the play are taken from Joliet Labor Camp and its vicinity, and the scene where michael scofield and Lincoln Burrows escape from the high wall is also the same place where John and Nixon perform.
The completely real shooting scene made the actors and the behind-the-scenes staff very excited. Everyone is looking forward to experiencing the excitement of going to jail. The cramped room that may cause claustrophobia at any time, the gloomy atmosphere, and the troubles brought by the cramped space quickly broke the romantic imagination of prison life. Photographers and Odencock began to try to find space in a cell only two arms wide, but it also inspired more interesting shooting angles. For actors, the biggest gain is that they have personally experienced the horror of imprisonment and strengthened their determination to abide by the law.
