Well them going to prison isn’t viewed as a joke so there’s that. A lot of comedies are about people getting out of messed up situations.
Them being locked up and all the unfair roadblocks they run into are supposed to make you upset. Make you uncomfortable. Make you think. The movie is full of laughs but also tragedies.
One inmate had a baby with the wardens daughter but can’t claim the child or they’ll kill him. He loves the wardens daughter and she loves him, but their family can’t happen.
Another inmate purposely gets himself killed because he doesn’t think his family back home will love him when they find out his sexual orientation.
Eddie and Martin are examples of not losing spirit against insurmountable odds.
I say that to say it doesn’t make light of prison or the era in which it takes place. A reminder of how things used to be and that it was not that long ago. Still happens. Most of the time without a happy ending. It is a deep movie disguised as a comedy.
Sometimes that’s the best way to get important messages across
“A spoon full of sugar, helps the medicine go down.”
Can you dig it?
People who don't put in the effort about to get mad about this, but yeah if you're not reaching out, making plans, showing up, don't expect the closeness to just exist! A lot of life and personal growth happens in a year, even in months. If we were close 2 years ago but you haven't made the effort and we don't talk, you don't know me anymore! That's now a different version of who I once was, and otherwise you have a parasocial relationship with me based only in what you see me selectively post on social media. Had to have reaaally honest convos surrounding this concept when I got married so I stand by that, ten toes down!
Synochok the bear had to live in a cramped metal cage of just 4 square meters for nearly 9 years. He was forced to perform circus tricks, constantly transported from place to place in a vehicle, and completely deprived of his freedom. 💔
After being rescued and moved to a new home, Synochok has completely transformed. He has become a joyful, happy bear. The kind of life he truly deserved all along 💖✨
@Raindropsmedia1 This is 2 year-old Chloe Davis-Green.
Chloe was killed by her Dad the day a child support order went into effect. He just searched the internet, "How to stop child support?"
The gunshot blast was so powerful that it knocked the beads out of her hair and her out of a car seat.
