Rating: 9/10 (10 May 2015)

In my opinion, there are two different types of good movies (if not more). One type is the one where you can watch hundreds of times and still not get bored of it. The other is the one where is so memorable that watching one time will result in you remembering it forever, even if you never ever watch it again. Shawshank Redemption is the latter.
The movie itself contains no fast-paced action or fantasy, but the gradual progression of the movie makes way for character growth and realism. In nearly 150 minutes, the viewers find themselves living and growing with Andy and Red, urging for them to make a move and yet never quite certain if they will.
I don't really have any words that I can say about this movie other than the fact that it is the type of masterpiece that makes you think hard about everything.
