Fear can hold you prisoner. Hope can set you free.
This is how the movie can be described aptly in two lines. But the movie has got more than that. The movie is about a banker who is imprisoned for murdering his wife and her lover. But did he really commit the crime? Is his imprisonment justified? What he does in the prison? These all constitute the movie.
Morgan Freeman acts and narrates the most part of the movie. He is like the main pillar for this movie, where all the weight lies. And guess what he is the only person I knew in this movie. More than 90% of the movie is picturized in a prison. The male pratogonist has got a dream role to play and he does his part to near perfection.
The scenes I liked::
- The letter writing by our hero to get funds for the prison library.
- The way he uses the rock hammer.
- Cruelty of the prison warden.
- (spoiler) The escape plan.
The scenes where I felt bad::
- When the new prisoner who passes some test gets killed by the warden.
- When the released prisoner hangs himself.
Overall I learnt from this movie, that Life hits you so hard that it brings you to your knees. But don't loose your heart, because everyone will have a talent in them which if put to a better use could fetch you success and that too in a pretty big way. Just never loose hope, the word is Hope...
