Intense Drama

Rating: 10/10 (21 December 2011)

I should say that usually I'm not much into drama. But the beauty of The Shawshank Redemption magically forced me into watching the whole film three times over the years.Its the kind of movie that is so powerful and realistic you become glued to your seat until the end. The twist at the end gave the movie a perfect finish without affecting the fine gist of the whole movie. Shawshank Redemption teaches us, improves our feelings about the world and changes our expectations about 'luck'.
Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins deliver their best performance to date. If Tom Hank's movie Forrest Gump was not made in the same year, this would most certainly be the winner of the 67th academy awards.
