Papillon
, August 29, 2001Reviewer: tonydulcito - See all tonydulcito's reviews1 of 1 Yahoo! Users found this Papillon review helpful This is one of my favorite movies - I never get tired of seeing it. Both McQueen and Hoffman are phenomenal. This movie has several different levels. The "dream sequence" of an escape is well done and when it is through you are left wondering if it is a dream or reality. It is not a movie with a lot of special effects. It is a great story of personal characters. I have read the book and I like it equally as well, although it is quite a bit different. You can't go wrong with this movie. ...

I could remember it like it was yesterday. I was so nervous since this was my first " cut with the knife "(an old saying my grandma would
say when someone was about to have surgery) that I became very anixious that night. The nurse advised me to relax and watch some television. Hesitantly, I agreed; flicking the remote until I reached Turner Movie Channel. There was a movie playing that night called "Papillon." I figured nothing else was on so I give this movie a chance.
In the beginning of the movie I thought Steve McQueen was that same guy {Paul Newman} who played in the movie "Cool Hand Luke", for they both resemble each other so much. Right from the beginning, the picture griped such an emotion in me, I thought I never had, that during the end, I felt into a deep stupor due to the powerful impact it delivered. I was truely spellbound by Steve McQueen and Dustin Hoffman performance. Both characters displayed great energy and superb talent that was very captivating. All in all, "Papillon" gave me a purpose in life and a meaning never to give up in what you believe in; also appreciate life and the freedom it has to offer. All I know is that when Papillon was finished, my aniexty was gone, I wasn't nervous and I had a new outlook on life. I'll never forget a great movie like "Papillon!" ...
