Couregeous, and Smart with abundant supply of Hope

Rating: 10/10 (26 January 2014)

Every time I see this film, I am filled with dark thoughts which ultimately gets overshadowed by hope. After all these years, this one still stands in number one list and one of my few reasons to join movie industry.
Well, so many things have been said and written, so I want to focus on one particular note-patience. Yes, friendship is the key theme of the movie that propels the plot till the very last shot of the film since the beginning of the narration but apart from the main theme of film being hope and friendship, this film strongly con-notates the power of patience and persistence.
Would not like to talk about the entire story here but next time you watch this, just take a close look at Andy, and the way he holds his emotion at the beginning in the court and till the very end when he wears the polished shoe of Warden, no doubt there is deep sorrow and regret but above all, a sign of hope and his patience to make things happen is always there throughout the movie-be it winning to get the books, more books or even beer for his friends despite he doesn't drink himself.
Well, I always discover so many hidden subtle meanings every time I watch this, I loose track of the information and the key things but for sure, apart of Hope and Friendship thing, patience and persistence tops the reason why is film is so courageous in its way.
