2 men teach other about survival inside and out of prison

Rating: 10/10 (24 September 2017)

The film is written by Stephen King and directed by Frank Darabont. This film was released in 1994 and is on its way to becoming a classic. If you have not seen it yet you need to. This story is put together very well and should appeal to most people who enjoy a movie that keeps you in suspense and really makes you feel involved. Be prepared for an emotional yet thrilling experience.
The major plot of the story is about survival in prison and the outside life. There are two main character who are Red played by Morgan Freeman, and Andy played by Tim Robbins. They will team up in this film and teach each other how to survive. The theme is really as mentioned survival on the inside and outside. One man is coming in and cannot wait to get out, the other man is in and is scared to get out after so many years.
The actors really make you feel their pain as they are doing their time, and you may even feel as if you are imprisoned with them in a sense. This is a very emotional movie that will keep you on the edge of your seat, and keep you wondering what will happen next. The camera crew does an excellent job with the angling and filming to make everything feel realistic. Their use of lighting is perfect with scenes being darker when it is a shocking or scary time, and lighter when it is a happier day. This film is very well directed.
This film has the perfect feel, the right actors, with a combination of the right director and writer to make one of the all-time best films. I am a person who watches a movie and that is it, but I could watch this over and over again. It shows how two people who are completely different can teach and learn from each other. As mentioned earlier one man is scared to get out and one man is wanting out at all costs. They help each other to survive and accomplish their goals. This is like no other film I have seen before and I rate it at the highest quality. This is a real must see for everyone. It really captures the real-life issues of prison life, and survival from not only a psychical sense, but a psychological sense as well.
