Shawshank%20Redemption.jpg


"In writer-director Frank Darabont's THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins) is sentenced to two consecutive life terms in prison for the murders of his wife and her lover in the late 1940s. However, only Andy knows that he didn't commit the crimes. Sent to Shawshank Prison to do hard time, Andy--a taciturn banker in the outside world--has to learn to get by in the brutal, cutthroat confines of prison life. His quiet strength slowly earns the respect of his fellow inmates--most notably, Red (Morgan Freeman)--and even much of the prison staff. But Andy's seemingly stoic acceptance of his unjust imprisonment hides a fierce determination for freedom. This beautifully crafted movie features touching and sincere performances from the entire cast, with an uplifting message about humanity's indomitable spirit and the redemptive value of hope. Based on the novella RITA HAYWORTH AND SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION by Stephen King, Darabont's intriguing adaptation is easily one of the finest films of the 1990s."

I would have to debate this. Stephen King is perhaps one of the finest story tellers ever, but in no way is he a good writer. His style is trashy, he admits as much. Don;t get me wrong, I love reading his works, but he leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to plot.
 
"I believe in two things. Discipline and the Bible. Here, you'll receive both. Put your faith in the Lord. Your ass belongs to me. Welcome to Shawshank."

One of the best movies of all time. Got it on my shelf, right beside Ronin. You cannot get married without seeing Shawshank, at least once! Good preview into how a woman can royally fuck up your life.

j/k ;)

Seriously though, a classic!

you got me. I didn't really mean best writer as in style, I meant best as in a good story teller.
 
I can't understand voting anything less than 4 on this film. I LOVE it.
 
God ive seen this about fifty times..no joke. Including the very first one in the movie theater when it came out here like several years ago. ACK ! I LOVE IT
 
easily one of my favorite movies of all time.

its simply perfect in every way.

10 STARS!
 
Just watched it. I got noticed so much more than I had the previous times I had seen it.

The message about hope especially hit home. <3
 
Green mile was enjoyable, but a bit fantastical. This film, on the other hand, is securely rooted in the realm of possible; capturing all the aspects you'd want of a good story, done with fairly good acting, and enjoyable cinematography and direction. I really loved it as well, and keep it in my list of favorites.
