A Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (17 August 2016)

This movie was truly excellent and deserves its place as a masterpiece. There just is no other movie that compares. The character development in this movie was incredible. I never would have imagined that a movie about prison could have turned out so interesting. The environment of the movie displays prison as a dark terrible place which nobody wants to find themselves. It's definitely dated when compared to the modern prison system of today but still shows the brutal and harsh reality of finding yourself as a inmate during this time. Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman did an incredible job of allowing the viewer to fully connect and to sympathize with their plight. The movie was also very filled out with many other interesting characters.
