Get busy Livin' or get busy dyin'

Seen as though our guy was gunna go from deathly boredom to questionable mental health i had a few ideas of films that would be good research for behavior and story ideas. Firstly i looked at some prison based films to see how they get by on their lonesome,

'The Shawshank Redemption'

'The Great Escape'

And of course 'Chicken Run'

A scene that i believe is used in all 3 is the protagonist being put in solitary and bouncing a ball against the wall, obviously Chicken Run used this as an homage to The Great Escape and I was was blatantly gunna steal it. Also we see here the dreary cell with water dripping down and markings on the wall for days. Now i had to address the sightly insane part of the story.

'One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest'

'Jacob's Ladder'

Cuckoo's Nest is definitely closer to the tone of our film but i had to steal the bit from 'Jacob's Ladder' with the mental guys head going crazy. I knew I wanted that as a close up shot.
