Prison Break

If I could do one thing in the world, it would be to direct a movie as brilliant as prison break. The careful attention to details in this mysterious story really caught my attention. So the show is about two brothers who are trying to help one another get out of jail. One of the brothers was going to be executed within three weeks and therefore, needed to get out quick. The other brother was the designer of the prison and therefore, knows every inch of the prison. He breaks apart a certain bench to find a key that can open his cell. He has the blueprints of the whole prison imprinted on his body in the form of a large tattoo. The show keeps you on your toes at al times. You never know what to expect next and that is the type of novels I love to read, the types of television shows I can never flip the channel on, and etc… The main character in prison break honors the values that we should live by in our daily lives. He does everything in his power to get his brother out of jail, even if that means he is putting himself in harm’s way. I believe in our society now, we need a lot more people willing to sacrifice themselves for others rather than always thinking about our own needs and interests all the time. I believe prison break is a show that really emphasizes this point and shows how far a brother’s blood can carry him throughout the show.
