It was so sad though for Steve McQueen. His final movie was him being a sort of bounty hunter. Can't remember the film. Sadly his Fate IRL was so heartbreaking. He died in a hospital in Juarez after a 5lb cancerous tumor was removed from his abdomen. His only release was that he died of heart and lung failure not soon after the surgery. He was only 50, but his legend lives in movies like this and so many others.

No Stunt Double: Steve McQueen insisted on performing the stunt where he jumps off a cliff himself. He once said of this that it was "one of the most exhilarating experiences of my life". Onlybone long shot so you can't tell if it's actually him in the film but it is! These days you'd have 5 different cameras from all angles covering it showing it's him really doing the stunt. It never occured to them to do it that way in 1973. Or maybe the jump was just the thing, he just did it. Legend.

The reason Papillon always wanted to escape from the prison was FREEDOM. I know it's simple to figure, but the prison and his escape were metaphors for the necessity of freedom in life before one could feel alive. Without freedom life is no different than death. His friend asked him that he might die while trying to escape, but for Papillon the prison was already a big grave and he was a dead person in it. So a dead man never fears death. An alive man does, because he loves his life and wants to live. So Papillon took the risk of getting killed and escaped constantly so he could have that worthy life outside; there could never be a chance for him inside prison to have a life. Only outside freedom could be found, and life could be owned. But inside a prison, there is only death. "Life" is not only eating, working, and sleeping; life is when you have your freedom to move about anywhere you please, to do anything you love to do, to think anyway you want, and to express yourself freely and peacefully, and to love where you are among the people who don't restrain your freedom. Without such freedom one is no different than in a prison, no different than a dead. Even if one live with all the money, wealth, and people in the world, without freedom he'd feel no life in himself. Life is freedom. Freedom is life.

You are absolutely right - accordion it is. It's really interesting to learn that an accordion and a harmonica each contain the same type of "free reed" - which would explain the very similar sound that these two instruments make. I believe that the man who invented the harmonica is also credited with developing the first accordions. Regardless - this "reedy" sound is synonymous with French folk music, and Jerry Goldsmith's brilliance manifests itself with a melody that is both short and unforgettable. It's one of the most delightful "ear worms" I have ever had the pleasure of trying to forget. :-) :-)

4:02 I remember when Dustin's character was going on about how he was going to get out of that place and how his wife was going to have the lawyers free him. Then McQueen asked him how hard he would fight to get his wife free. Dustin said he would fight with everything he had to free her. Then McQueen asked, how hard do you think she's fighting for you. That's when Dustin decided to try and escape. This was one of the finest films I have ever seen. To think that it is true makes It all the more better.

McQueen and Hoffman -- doesn't get much better. McQueen's gritty determination, and poor Hoffman, lost, abandoned, resigned, the head tilt giving it away.

People often say movie is long and boring. Seems to me we haven't watch same movie. This movie is anything but long and boring. It is in a way adventour movie with lots of places. Ship, prison, solitare, island, jungle, tropic indians, nons, solitare, boat, island. It is iconic scene when the old man who is anoyed that Papillon is sittin on the bench ask him who is he to sit on that bench. Than he answer - nobody with complete rezignation. Like he is sayin that all that was nothing, he's complete life. After that he realize he still can escape and his spirit comes back followed with this great sceene. The part he is fighting to ecape from indians that shot him with nedles and he fallin into the water with open arms like buterfly is lightmotiv of the movie. Great movie.

One of the scenes that got me; as Papillon is planning the major escape (much younger) with a boat, he tries to convince Dega to go too. Dega resists, insists his wife is working on his case, "Her letter is overdue." Papillon says "Listen to me. If she was here, and you were in France with all that money, how much would you pay to get her back?" Dega: "All that I have!" Papillon says "And how much is SHE willing to pay, .....to get YOU back?" Degas' face becomes stricken. He suddenly faces reality.........

I like and empathize with Hoffman because he doesn’t want to be alone on an island again and he thinks McQueen will get killed this time. Old age is not a time for adventure but looking for security and safety. I don’t care about the remake. How dare they think they can replace McQueen and Hoffman. Impossible!
