The Big Picture Although it is somewhat odd to feel like a film production company has an identity of its own, A24 has generally represented a positive force in the industry through its ability to get younger audiences interested in going out to see arthouse films in theaters.
Sing Sing A theater group escapes the reality of incarceration through the creativity of staging a play, with a cast that includes actors who have been incarcerated. Both The Shawshank Redemption and Sing Sing center on unusual friendships that develop while men are in prison, and are oddly inspirational in how they depict the power of inherent kindness. Divine G is initially quite taken aback by Maclin, who appears to have a deep knowledge of William Shakespeare and the classical dramas, yet seems unwilling to be entirely vulnerable on stage.
Although there’s an endearing quality to watching both of these friendships unfold, both Sing Sing and The Shawshank Redemption present highly realistic depictions of prison that do not shy away from the flaws in America’s justice system. In Sing Sing, Divine G is forced to fight tooth-and-nail to get any amount of resources for his upcoming productions, as the prison’s directors are unwilling to give him the barest level of respect.
