What immediately makes this movie an interesting one is the realness of it. The situation, the characters, the events and outcomes are all very realistic and I suppose that's because this movie is based on actual events and people. All of the acting, writing, and directing is done so well that the characters and their situations feel very realistic and more importantly relatable and understandable. The understanding and relatability of the characters is true today just as it was back when this film was made, which is one of the best things about this film. As a film representing and bringing to light the injustices in the prison system at the time and the inefficiency of the judicial system, having the audience really relate and understand what horrific ordeal the main character is going through helps get across the film's actual goal.
