One of the most thought provoking films I have ever seen.

Rating: 10/10 (2 October 2005)

Watched The Shawshank Redemption again this evening - what a wonderful story from beginning to end and. I was intrigued at the end of the credits to see that the film was dedicated to Allan Greene. Does anyone know who he was? I would be grateful for any information. I found the story within this film demonstrated the human feelings of despair,helplessness ; anger going on to forward thinking, planning and hope. Hope that a human being could overcome the corruption and cruelty by being a lot more clever than the those who only sought to deal in the destruction of the soul. The tenacity of a man able to withstand 20 years chipping away with a rock hammer in order to attempt freedom in a place where freedom was a word never even contemplated.
