Today, I watched "The Birdkeeper of Alcatez" at Sam's Micro Theater, and I began to think about pets again.

The story is about the protagonist Bob who was imprisoned for fighting and murder, only went to elementary school for three years, and because of his mother's doting since childhood, he was extremely selfish and very irritable, and after entering the prison, because the prison guards refused his pleas - Bob's mother came to see him from a long distance, but Bob faced imprisonment again because of the fight, so Bob begged the prison guard to let him see his mother - Bob instinctively stuck the knife that he had been sharpening on the first day in prison into the prison guard, and the prison guard ran out of breath on the spot.

So Bob was sentenced to be hanged this time, but because he was sentenced to hanging, he was still able to see his mother, and his mother encouraged him not to give up hope of life and ran around, and finally contacted the president's wife through the senator, so Bob's mother's earnest letter of intercession for Bob reached the president, and Bob was pardoned and hanged, changed to life, and has been held in solitary confinement ever since.

Later, on a rainy night, Bob saved an injured bird when he was out of the wind, so he took care of the bird to recover, and the bird never flew away from Bob's side, at this time the warden changed from Harvey to a younger one, so the young warden agreed to Bob's request for mail-order bird food for the sake of image, and also agreed to everyone in the prison to order and raise birds. But it didn't take long for everyone to stop raising birds, so they all sent these birds to Bob's prison, so Bob began to raise birds, and when the birds were sick and the bird plague doctors could not treat it, he studied the treatment of birds by himself, and finally published this paper publicly, and it was also because this paper saved a lady named Sterling's love bird, so Ms. Sterling came to the prison to thank Bob and offered to cooperate with Bob to sell this bird plague special drug. Since then, Bob's mother has not only been the only one who has come to see Bob in prison, but also Sterling.

When Bob was not allowed to raise birds because prison was a place of introspection, not a place to achieve himself, Sterling and Bob's mother ran for Bob, and finally won public opinion support for Bob, allowing Bob to continue raising birds, and it was at this time that Bob's mother discovered that Bob's connection with the outside world was not only herself, but also Sterling's woman.

When the mother complained about this and asked her son to cut ties with Ms. Stirling, but Bob refused, Bob's mother publicly stated in front of reporters that people like Bob should stay in prison without parole, and even if the report came out to hurt him, prison would be a safe place. So Bob's mother thought that Bob had no repentance and only deserved to stay in prison and spread throughout the country, and Bob, who had contributed to society because of the publication of a paper on a cure for bird plague, failed on his first parole.

Bob was chilled by his mother's approach, "Do you know what a tigress does when she's angry?" She eat her young kid. ）”

Since then, Bob has been watching over his own prison guards gave him an old microscope and began to study all kinds of bird and animal diseases, in the clammy, cold and dirty environment, Bob, who has only read books for three years, day and night to turn through books, research, overcome a lot of bird diseases that cannot be treated at present, Bob also published this book. And because the book saved a lot of farm poultry and birds, Bob ushered in a second chance to parole, but in the end, he was transferred to the harshest prison in the United States - Alcatez Prison, the warden of Alcatez Prison, the warden of Alcatez Prison, Harvey, when Bob was in prison for the first time.

Harvey is a man who believes that prisoners should not have their own minds and personalities, and that they should live in tastelessness and prison norms, like marionettes. Of course, Bob is not allowed to keep birds here. So Bob began to reflect on his own life, he learned to care and care for others in the process of taking care of the birds, learned to be considerate, learned to be soft, learned to apologize and be grateful under the justice and kindness of Tony, the prison guard who had been watching over him, and also found warmth in Sterling and others - he began to reflect on the bad things he had done in his early years. It was also at this time that he accused the warden Harvey of being a failure, because he was suppressed for a long time and was not allowed to have thoughts and personalities, so most of the prisoners who were released would take revenge on the society, and the rate of prisoners in his hands who came back after going out was very high. The word "reform" was first used in a book of authority to mean to restore one's dignity.

Later, there was a riot in the prison, and Bob said in the prison that the rioters were all dead, and asked Harvey to stop attacking the prison, and Harvey believed him.

In the end, Bob was not released on parole, and he was transferred to prison. Before he was transferred to prison, he said, "Do you know what Alcatuz was called in the past? - Bird Island. ”

I guess Bob's "Bird Island" in the end is to say that Harvey, the warden listened to Bob's words, changed the way he ran the prison, and began to allow inmates to have personality and thoughts, helping them regain their dignity and reform, and finally the harshest prison in the United States was harsh, but humane.

In fact, the plot of Bob not being allowed to raise birds in this story reminds me of "Quill Pen", which should be called this, telling the story of a colored novelist, because he writes that kind of novel nakedly, the novelist is imprisoned in a mental hospital, but the color novelist who was imprisoned still wrote, and it was passed out through the helper girl who changed her clothes, and the young director of the mental hospital felt that this was not good, so he confiscated the novelist's pen, and the novelist who did not have a pen ended up writing on the cloth with blood, Continue to spread the color novels through the helper girls. People all over the world love it.

The novelist thinks that if desire can be released through words, there will be fewer people in the world who are psychopathic like a certain doctor A, but who are very deeply hidden, who are benevolent and righteous on the surface, and who do very bad and evil things in private. But the novelist ended up in the hands of this very bad and vicious doctor A, who was motorized, tied up, and tortured in various ways.

The young dean is very fond of the girl who helps the novelist deliver the color novel, but before he can say anything, the young dean is found in a basement pool, presumably the girl who was tortured and finally killed by the perverted doctor A. The young dean went crazy and began to think that what the novelist had said to him was right, and the young dean began to write.

The story of Bob being allowed to keep birds also reminds me of the writer Proust, whose reason why he was reluctant to leave this world before his death was not that he wanted to steal his life, but that he wanted to finish his unfinished work.

Maybe it's because Bob, the novelist, and Proust are so passionate about what they love that they can't stop me, so I think I'm connecting them.

Returning to the bird prisoner Bob himself, the traces of his personality shaped by experience are too obvious, his mother's doting, his mother's strong desire to control him that does not allow him to be associated with anyone, has led to the young Bob's extremely self-centered, insensitive to others and hurting others, and he does not know what respect and gratitude are. Later, he was aroused by the weak, wounded birds, learned to give and love in treating and caring for those birds, and after being cared for by the prison guards who had been taking care of him fairly for fifteen years, he complained that he always ordered the prison guards to do things like a tsar, never said "please" and "thank you" and said the first "sorry" in his life, and for the reason that he was warmed by Sterling, he began to soften.

It was love that changed him: it changed him from an extremely indifferent and selfish person to a person who has love and love, cares, cares, apologizes, and is grateful, and can also go from a prisoner sentenced to life imprisonment to a bird expert who has saved countless birds and birds across the country and made great contributions to society; A person who has only been in primary school for three years can become an excellent zoology expert through daily research.
