The film that started my love for dramas

Rating: Null/10 (14 February 2002)

***SPOILERS*** ***SPOILERS*** I was twelve when I first saw this movie in 1998. I was flipping through the channels on my TV when I was first introduced to the character of Andy Dufresne. I watched with amazement and was fully absorbed by the happenings and events that took place. When a commercial break came on, I was impatient for it to end so I could find out what would be next. The beginning of the movie has Andy being imprisoned for the murder of his wife and her lover. He says he didn't do it. And I believed he did, until the plot twister changed my whole perspective. Red is the man narrorating, and to me, is the main character about how is life is changed around over the twenty years he knows Andy. And if it's anything that made me cry, it was at the end where Red is finally free. This film started my compassion for movies with meaning behind them, and if you view this picture, be ready for a new look on life.
In other words, DON'T pass this movie by. Enjoy!
