Sing Sing

we must experience defeat, but we must never be defeated usually silence can appear uncomfortable at first, but this film captures it in a way where it’s used as a strength to let the weight of the scenes to marinate. i can’t even possibly run out of great things to say abt this. each scene holds gravity, the consistency of the cinematography saying a thousand words, the performances alongside the beautifully written script. and the fact that a lot of the beloved there were able to portray themselves just makes me say damn in the best way possible. a lot of the RTA members are far more aware of their liberty despite their physical imprisonment, more than the people walking in a space where fresh air can be absorbed. it’s a film that reminds us that art should be accessible to everyone and how it can be used to reach parts of ourselves we deprive from society. to perform is a privilege we act upon, yet not something we realize we do for others, so each moment we choose to act, may we do it for ourselves, for we are the only audience that truly matters.
