Frank Darabont

For my film project I would like to do it about the Director Frank Darabont, but at the moment it is impossible to find out any informationa about him. Here are a few questions I have got in mind;

· How does Frank Darabont show claustrophobia in prison?

2 films directed by Frank Darabont are The Shawnshank Redemtion and The Green Mile, both are about life in prsion on the the 1940's and another set in the 1930's and both are in the IMDB Top 250 films list. Both films show how prison life is completley diffrent from how we live on the outside world and both convey diffrently how claustraphobic it can be. The shawnshank uses Red (Morgan Freeman) as the narrator of the film, he talks about how "Prison life is about routine and how man has to keep his mind occupied". While the Green Mile does a similar thing but this time, instead of being in prison for life the green mile is about death row, and the mean are coming to the end of their lives and have limited means of entertaimnet. There is a mouse in the prison block that the guards try and catch, Eduard Delacoix becomes friends and shows a relationship with an animal that can't talk back and shows how someone has to have their mind occupied to take their thoughts of what there are there for

• Has Darabont lost his technique in making King Films over time?

Frank Darabont has in total directed 4 Stephen King books, The Woman in the Room (1983), The Shawshank Redepmtion (1994), The Green Mile (1999) and The Mist (2007). None of these films are prequals or sequals but are all seprate books. TWITR was Darabon'ts first ever film he directed and developed his relatinoship with king from there. The Shwshank Redepmtion is arguably the best film of all time.
