Movie Reviews of Papillon
Movie Review: McQueen excellent
Summary: 4 Stars
McQueen carries film beautifully. One of his finest performances.
The real story behind the story is that Henri Charriere, who wrote the novel the movie is based on, "borrowed" heavily from what other convicts' lived through, and one in particular--the real Papillon, who died in France a couple of years back.
Don't get me wrong, Charriere did his share of time on Devil's Island, it's just that not everything that takes place in the film actually happened to him.
Author Gerard de Villiers delves into it in a book entitled A BUTTERFLY PINNED.
