New Orleans Three unlucky guys were imprisoned in a prison.
The first unlucky guy is named Zach.
He is a local gangster who does nothing all day and just wants to be a DJ.
The walls of his home were full of graffiti, and he worked on some performance art all day long. His girlfriend finally couldn't bear it anymore and dumped him after a big fight.
The broken heart-breaking Zach is buying drunk on the street and accidentally gets a job: drive a car to a designated location, and the reward is $1,000.
Zach drove on the road in order to exchange for the money for alcohol.
He was caught by the police halfway because there was a body in the trunk of the car.
The second unlucky guy is named Jack.
Jack is also a bastard from New Orleans, specializing in the pimp business.
Once an old friend of his asked him to go to a hotel to date a beautiful woman. Jack went there and was about to have a rain of rain with the beautiful woman.
As a result, the police broke into the door.
Jack was also sent to jail.
The third unlucky guy is named Bob.
Bob is an Italian immigrant to the United States. He has poor English and can take a small notebook to record what others say at any time.

But Bob is a real murderer.
Once he cheated while playing cards with someone else and was chased. In a panic, he killed the person chasing him with a billiard ball, so he was also sent to jail.
Just like that, the three unlucky guys became inmates.
The three of them were divided into two factions. Jack and Zach two native Americans gathered together to keep warm, while Bob was isolated, and he could only talk to himself and entertain himself.
Later Bob learned to escape from prison from American movies, and he successfully escaped with two inmates.
The three escaped to a lake, and Bob chose to stay where he was.
Jack and Zach continued to move forward, and finally, in the face of hunger, the two lost and returned to their original position, while Bob roasted the delicious rabbit there.
Later, they passed by a small shop, and Bob fell in love with the Italian woman in the shop at first sight, and he chose to settle there.
and Zach and Jack continue to move forward and head for a confused future. The stories above
1,
are from the classic black and white movie "The Unlawful" 36 years ago.
This is a classic anti-genre film. There are not many main creators of the film, but they are all big names.
Jim Jalmush is a famous independent director in the United States. He is best at making small-budget movies with special charm. His movies are full of cold and alienating images and wandering complexes.
This "The Unlawful" is another work of his show of skills. The story of the whole film is not complicated and takes place in prison, but the shooting techniques and story direction are abnormal.
One of the stars of Tom Witz is a famous American musician, and this film is his film debut.
He plays a frustrated gangster in the film, and the beginning of the film quotes his music "Jockey Full of Burben" . This song full of charm is also his famous song.
Another starring role is the familiar Roberto Benini . His most well-known work is " Beautiful Life " . In the film, the great father he played made countless people cry.The three big names
These three big names gathered together and produced a strong chemical reaction.
"Watch movies " magazine once commented on this film: What will happen if you mix Jamushu 's boredom, Bernini's noise and Tom Wiz into a prison?
What was finally presented to us is a modern fable.
The whole film uses a cold and depressing narrative style to break the causes and consequences of traditional movies and presents the audience with a real absurdity.
Of course, as an anti-genre movie, this film gives people the most direct impression, that is, many things have no ins and outs.
For example, Zach was involved in a murder case. The director did not explain the whole story of the case at all. After he was arrested and imprisoned, the plot came to an abrupt end.
For example, Jack was arrested by the police in a hotel, and there must be a conspiracy behind it, but the video was not pointed out, and he went in in a daze.
Another example is jailbreaking is a very difficult thing.
"Shawshank Redemption" spent nearly 3 hours talking about how to escape from prison. The American drama "Prison Break" used a season to describe this process, but it was mentioned in "The Unlawful".
Three cobblers escaped without any effort, and the police did not continue to hunt them down.
And to the end, the three of them separated like this, without sensational farewell words or exciting climax scenes, the movie ended like this.
so many plots without beginning or end are connected together to form this "The Unlawful".

Faced with such a famous movie, those who watch this movie for the first time will definitely wonder:
What is the director talking about?
But if you look closely, you will understand the director's intention and intention.
The real life does not have so many ups and downs, but is a piece of fragments and concatenation that connects our lives.
You and the girl you secretly love will never meet again in this life after graduation.
You and your former best friend have lost contact for no reason.
The problems you encounter in life may never be remembered again in a few months.
You didn’t have time to recall and feel sad, and once you turned around, you embarked on a journey with a group of inexplicable people.
This is the whole truth of life, this is what the video wants to tell us.
The video starts with a flowing street scene, combined with the cheerful music, showing us a flowing life: towns, streets, houses, crowds...
Everyone, every building, and every object have a story, but the camera will not stop for any moment and pass by in a hurry.
All things in the world are a quick glance; life is full of joys and sorrows, understatement.
This is the narrative tone of "The Unlawful". The director just wants to present the ridiculous sense of life to us.
And after the three protagonists appeared, their fate was also in a sense of absurdity. Three low-probability events of
brought three irrelevant people together and discussed how to escape from the jailbreak.
After the jailbreak was successfully completed, if Zach and Jack were not too hungry to survive, they might have parted ways from the beginning.

The videos do not have a complete story, but it is not until the end that the profound connotation is revealed.
The three protagonists represent two life choices.
Bob represents secular concepts. As an Italian immigrant, he has been looking for the destination of his heart.
Finally he found it, there was love and bread. Although the process was absurd, the ending was particularly beautiful.
Zach and Jack represent a lonely traveler.
They are native Americans, but they have never found their inner destination. They are all pursuing their lives.
At the end of the video, the two said goodbye to Bob and came to an intersection without signposts. Zach was going west and Jack was going east.
It doesn’t matter which side is east and which side is west. Jack said that you can take one way, I can take another way. People like
are looking for the meaning of life all their lives. Gradually, the original direction is no longer important, and searching itself has become the greatest meaning of their lives.
Someone may complain after watching the video. Since life is absurd, why should we work hard?
In fact, it is precisely because life is absurd, even meaningless, that we have to give it meaning. This process is full of fun.
For example, the starring Benini of this film.
Benini is an Italian, and this movie is his first time in an English film.
He hugged the beauty in the film, and in reality, the two actors fell in love at first sight.
The two finally got married, and his wife also became the heroine of "Beautiful Life".
Although Benini pretended to be crazy and stupid in the film, he mastered the rules of the game. In the thousands of changes in the world, he took decisive action and seized the opportunity. He was the real winner in life.
people are in the world, they have no choice but to do it. The only thing we can do is to keep our original intentions.
Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills. We cannot refuse the script handed over by God. The only thing we can do is to get into the play in an instant.
This is probably the biggest inspiration that "The Unlawful" brings to us.
