A simple work of art and a mind blowing drama.

Rating: 10/10 (10 January 2015)

Stephen King has been known for writing stories that have both confused and amused the readers. Many great directors have worked with his stories and have given the audience what they want to see. The Shawshank Redemption is another one of them. But there is a reason why it is not just another one of them.
The movie represents courage, faith, anger, sufferance, patience and all the other components of a perfect drama. It teaches so much and is quite a slow movie. Yet it is one of the most exiting movies I have seen in my life. The greatest thing about this movie is that it won't ever bore you. When you sit to watch a 142 minute long movie, it is not unnatural to look at the clock and see how much of it is left. But I have not looked at the clock once in all the many times that I have seen this movie. The time frame where the movie takes place is very large. But for not once have I felt that it was going too fast.
Director Frank Darabont who also wrote the screenplay for the movie did a great job with excellent actors like Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman. He made this movie into one of the best there is and one of the best there will ever be.
