The Film Industry Redemption

Rating: 10/10 (1 October 2002)

The Shawshank Redemption was one of the deepest movies I've ever seen. There were no fight scenes, car chases, anything like that, but my attention was there. I don't know too many movies that can do that.
Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins were awesome in this movie. Tim Robbins' character evolves in this movie. He begins as this innocent (literally) guy who kept to himself, and then he became more sociable and demanding. As for Freeman, the movie would not be the same without him.
The warden. I really hated that guy. The only antagonist I hated more than this warden was the bad guy from the Patriot.
What I liked most about this movie is that they portray life within a jail cell. They show that the people who are imprisoned are not all bad, and some shouldn't even be there. We all forget that some of those people are in there for murder, and we even feel sympathy for them.
I would recommend this movie to people who liked the Green Mile. Not only is it another jail movie, it was written by the same author, and yes, I do believe Stephen King is the best modern writer of all. If you have not seen this movie, you are missing out on the movie that redeemed the film industry. Remember, salvation lies within.
