Does this film really deserve all the praise it gets?

does if you never run out of cocaine while writing the story that way.

Yea. It ends with everything neatly wrapped up in the most feel good way.

The only one who gets away with anything was Elmo.

>i like do the friendship thing to me won't someone

The Virgin Mary symbolism in that scene is what sets it above the rest

It’s a good simple movie

does anyone have the image with the finger in the butt?

Is there redemption for us lads?

essential Man movie

no but u r

I think it's honestly just a lot of nostalgia. Having watched it for the first time a few years ago, I thought it was a pretty by the numbers 90s flick. It's not bad though, and I'm not blaming people for loving it when it was part of their childhood, but if you think about the movie objectively it's like a 6 or a 7 out of 10

>posters are as stiff as boards
Retard

Is this English?

It's good, but no. So many people treat it like it's one of the all time greats when it's just a solid 7.

>warden found the piss tunnel

user, grab a piece of paper and hold it at the top with your left hand. With your right hand, grab the bottom of the paper and hold it up level with the top. Now let go with your right hand. What happens?

>all they find was a set of prison clothes a rock hammer worn down to the nub, and a 55 gallon drum full of piss.

Then poke a pencil through it and say "wormholes"

How did the poster stay taught enough for the dude to throw a rock that punched right through it? Did he glue it to the wall on his way out?

It's a solid film but #1 of all time? Fuck no
It's a strong 7/light 8 but that's about it

It doesn't deserve the praise it gets, but it deserves praise because it's a solid movie. It's nothing spectacular and nothing remarkable but it's a solid movie and I can't really think of anything "bad" about it.

Its okay, probably the most accurate prison film in terms of how the prisoners are actually treated. The parts that deal with institutionalization and the abuse of the prison system were nice touches.

Overall maybe like an 8/10, very good film but not the perfect film people try to portray it as.

How thick is the prison wall?

me looking into your moms asshole

its an american prison so its made out of particle board and chinese newspapers with a faux concrete facade

There was plenty IIRC...

>he had all the proper ID, drivers license social security card, penis inspection card, singles movie permit. Falcon trainer safety card.

Doesn't his whole plan fall apart if the Warden doesn't kill himself? Been a while since I saw it but I remember thinking that was a major plothole

Why would it? He's already escaped and off the grid with a new identity.
And the warden just goes to jail.

The Family Guy parody is a pretty good deconstruction of it

>Doesn't his whole plan fall apart if the Warden doesn't kill himself?
No. The plan is to alert the media and authorities about the warden's crimes with the cooked books. I'm sure Andy planned for the warden to end up in prison but Norton wasn't gonna go there.

No? They were literally raiding the prison and arresting people. He posted all the dodgy accounts and information on the abuse/murder to the media iirc and he was guaranteed retribution, him killing himself had nothing to do with it.
