Based on a story by Stephen King, Darabont adapted a masterful screenplay, which was his debut. This film, told the gossip, was impressed especially by teens and twentysomethings have one of the best stories of friendship between men. Accustomed to see tough guys, here they are forced to look with new eyes to the players and their history. Personally, I think is the most beautiful story ever told about the friendship between two men.
Morgan Freeman is the main character narrates over the footage the adventures of his friend, which in the end you realize that you knew nothing.
It is one of the best prison movies in history, with an overwhelming realism and more than interesting dialogues with well-defined characters are actors who perform a more significant role either primary or secondary.
But I'll make a special emphasis on Morgan Freeman. He is tremendous, spectacular, exciting role that makes this man. How well this guy talk (for me, the best, he and doubles it in Spain), and gestures of joy both in the pleasant moments that are much like those of despair and suffering that supports seem so real, like you're interacting with him in person.
In short, this movie is a masterpiece. A film that makes you love the film like few others. “Cadena Perpetua” has a very accurate picture, a great assembly and a huge adjustment.
