  2. Because I've already seen the movie,I think the tagline matches the movie perfectly.Although this is meant to discribe the life in jail,it is also a great motto for everyone.

  5. This tag line is really appropriate to the film .In frustration,what counts is tolerance,even if you have nothing,hope will be your lighthouse,and faith will be your compass,bringing you out of the crisis.

    2. Even if you have nothing,
      Hope will be your lighthouse.
      Faith will be your compass,
      Bringing you out of the crisis.

      These lines make a nice little poem.

    2. Don't let fear control us. With hope, we can fulfill our dream.

  7. I think this tagline is very meaningful. If we fears of doing something,we become a prisoner,feeling that everything is obstructing us,just like a prisoner in a jail. But if we trust ourselves and have a hope in our mind,we will become free like a bird,finding a new way to overcome the difficulty.

    2. The jail symbolizes fear, while hope symbolizes freedom, which can't be locked by a cage.

  13. Truly speaking, taglines always stick to our minds deeply, and we just can't help but quoting these short sentences in our common dialogues or compositions. Then, we can feel there are lots of them apear in our lives in fact. The feature of them are that taglines contain some special senses that encourge people or just make you think of the product on the ad.. To be more precise, the companies have not only advertised their but also made people lives and conversations more colorful.

    1. I'm sorry ma'am. I've been misunderstood the meaning of the question, so I must apologize to you that you might read my answer above with a lot of confusion. I would like to reanswer beneath, but I just don't want to delete it. Would you please also help me to cope with the correction of my former job? I'd be really appreciate for the favor you do.

      Here is my another answer.
      I think hope can change everything. Hope means motivation. Hope means strength. Hope means light. With hope, nothing is impossible, even if one is behind bars.
      Fear is against hope. With fear, nothing is possible.

  14. I think the meaning to the tagline is that people should have hope.When you have hope,you will be more optimism and can do more thing;when you be afraid,you won't do anyting and just walk around
