Orange is NOT the new black

Rating: 8/10 (1 May 2015)

The caption basically shows you my opinion of that movie. It is a top film with a great storyline and perfectly described characters who are performed by actors knowing their craft well. Furthermore I also praise Darabont for turning King's short story into an almost 3-hour long drama without losing the basic message of the book and its atmosphere. Namely how different the two main characters are who represent a certain life philosophy : Red is the pessimistic one who never raises hope because life taught him that there is none but Andy is the total opposite: He never loses his hope even in such a terrible place. Nevertheless it is definitively NOT the best film of all time! Come on my fellow IMDb voters, how can you deliberately ignore the other movie masterpieces?! It is the without doubt the best prison movie (The Green Mile?!) and also one of the best book-adaption but there a better movies...admit it!!
