Finding beauty in the most grave situations.
Darabont is a master at discussing the darkest aspects of life in a way that both entertains and moves audiences.
Here are some of my favorite films by Mr. Darabont and my thoughts on them.
| Movie | The Shawshank Redemption | The Green Mile |
| Why I Love this Movie | This movie has one of the most inspirational cinematic storylines. A man sent to jail for a crime he did not commit attempts to attain his freedom, and makes the most of prison life along the way. | A man who performs miracles is placed on Louisiana's death row. He uses his abilities to help the prison guards and his fellow inmates. All characters confront the impacts of their choices on both their own lives and the lives of others. |
| Favorite Scene | Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins) and Ellis "Red" Redding (Morgan Freeman) reunite in Mexico. | John Coffey (Michael Clarke Duncan) heals the dying rat named "Mr. Jingles". |
