The guard reluctantly follows his orders. Doc pleads with a guard that he has nothing left to live for without his painting, to no avail. Enraged, the Warden removes Doc's painting privileges. The paintings are flattering, recognizing the guards' humanity, but the Warden's painting, which has been kept out of view, captures the ugliness of his cruellty. The Warden discovers that Doc has painted a portrait of him, as well as other guards. Both men are imprisoned in isolation in the hole. Morris also makes an enemy of Wolf, a rapist who harasses him in the showers and later attacks him in the prison yard with a knife. He makes a gift of one of the blossom heads to Morris. Doc's portraits contain chrysanthemums as a symbol of human spirit and freedom. Over the next days, Morris makes acquaintances with some inmates: the eccentric Litmus, who is fond of desserts English, a black inmate serving two life sentences for killing two white men in self-defense and the elderly Doc, who paints portraits and once grew chrysanthemums at Alcatraz. The day of his arrival, Morris steals a nail clipper from the Warden's desk. Alcatraz is unique within the US prison system for its high level of security, and no inmate has ever escaped. In early 1960 Frank Morris, a criminal who has absconded from other facilities, arrives at the maximum security prison on Alcatraz Island. Campbell Bruce and based on the 1962 prisoner escape from the maximum security prison on Alcatraz Island, marks the fifth and final collaboration between Siegel and Eastwood, following Coogan's Bluff (1968), Two Mules for Sister Sara (1970), The Beguiled (1971), and Dirty Harry (1971). The film, an adaptation of the 1963 non-fiction book of the same name by J. And for all the people who have seen this film, i would like to ask ou to reconsider this film's greatness for what it deserves.Escape from Alcatraz is a 1979 American prison action thriller film directed and co-produced by Don Siegel, written by Richard Tuggle, and starring Clint Eastwood alongside Patrick McGoohan, Fred Ward, Jack Thibeau, and Larry Hankin with Danny Glover appearing in his film debut. you have problems and something is wrong with you. I mainly focus on action films (although currently in film school i am considering on doing dramas) and from all the ones i had ever seen i think this film is surely the best overall, not my number 1 favorite but the overall best pick for anyone to see and i truely believe that is someone doesnt enjoy this film regardless of age, gender, etc. I must also give the writers of this film some credit because or it's several directions they went with the script while keeping action the main subject. If your considering on purchasing this on DVD, remember to shell out a few more bucks and get the Criterion Collection version, the extra money will be well spent once you see Ed Harris re-doing his takes. ![]() It is a film that any action enthusiast would enjoy over and over again. He doesnt only focus on the big action scenes but the minor ones as well and it work wonderfully because it keeps us all tuned for the duration of the film. It is the small things like that which eventually amounts to a great film. You can shoot a navy seal rising from the water in many different ways but his straight on established shot as the seal so rises up and pans his weapon from left to right was amazing. He chooses the right angles to show the right section of what every he is filming. ![]() What I think Michael Bay does best it simply put, he makes his stuff cool. Apparently the AFI probably wont but what do they know, the most action based film they would even consider is Saving Private Ryan which was also a good film but it seemed to be more of a Drama than action even if i reconsider the opening seen. There was a mixture of minor romance, drama, and comedy which is why i am pleased to see that the criterion collection values it. ![]() I felt this film carried the most wide range of cinema aspect that any action film can carry. ![]() Dont get me wrong, granted it is a familiar film amongst most people yet it never appears in their top ten? Currently this film sits at number 5 on mine. I am just curious why it is not as popular or well known as it should. Although i have seen many of Bay's films and enjoyed most of them, nothing is in comparison to this 1996 bay area based action film.
