The Shawshank Redemption (1994)
Director:
Frank DarabontStars:
Tim Robbins, Morgan Freeman and Bob GuntonFear can hold you prisoner. Hope can set you free.
Shawshank encompasses friendships, hardships, hopes, and dreams. And
what
is so great about the movie is that it moves you, it gives you hope.
Even
though the circumstances between the characters and the viewers are
quite
different, you don't feel that far removed from what the characters are
going through.
It is a simple film, yet it has an everlasting message. Frank Darabont didn't need to put any kind of outlandish special effects to get us to love this film, the narration and the acting does that for him. Why this movie didn't win all seven Oscars is beyond me, but don't let that sway you to not see this film, let its ranking on the IMDb's top 250 list sway you, let your friends recommendation about the movie sway you.
