Sing Sing
Please watch this movie. There are just movies sometimes that touch your heart like nothing ever has before, and this did it for me. To combine fiction and prison to give these men a stage to let themselves be themselves. To live outside what reality is. It’s so incredible. What can you do when everything is stripped away from you, when you’re but in a box and everyone tells you who you are. You look at them and tell them you are gonna fly. You set yourself upon a stage and become something else. You own it. You find joy and to find peace in something bigger than yourself. You don’t always have live in the reality that people tell you. Just be free
Beautifully shot, paced, acted and colored. The movie is an 1:45 and that’s perfect. The music was amazing.
Coleman Domingo with a beautiful performance.
In the words of hamlet: “To be, or not to be, that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles
And by opposing end them. To die—to sleep,
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to: 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;
To sleep, perchance to dream—ay, there's the rub”
