A movie that makes you a better person

Rating: 10/10 (20 February 2018)

I want to apologize for my English, I'm a young french guy, born in 89, and I have seen the movie first time on TV late for a kid, after 10 pm a bet, maybe in 98 or 99.
I have to say that from since, the movie just changes me, and it changes me more every times I watch it.
I may consider myself like a nihilist type of person since I remember. So I can't define myself like « full of hope ».
But, back to the movie, when you see « Shawshank Redemption », doesn't matter if are living the best or the worth day of your life, you just see the bright side in life ! You just feel like, almost for a moment, maybe for a day, a week, there is hope in this world.
Keeping hope in yourself, doing the best you can for the people around you, waiting for « your » moment to be happy is just the best you can do down here in this world.
I just have seen the movie right before writing this, for the the twentieth time in my life maybe, but I just realize that I' m acting for years fallowing the « Shawshank Redemption » inspiration. I just let behind me bad feelings and bad thoughts, acting the best I can for my family, friend and people I care about, and that make me happy, like Andy in the whole story.
Buddhism says that in every situation, you can stay with the good part, see the bright side. It's exactly what the movie is talking about: Andy get himself into prison, maybe not as a bad person, but maybe a bit selfish, maybe not using his knowledge and skills for helping others. He got out, washed of every single bad pieces of himself. He got out a better person.
To me, that 's just the best movie ever, and that 's gonna be like very close to impossible to find a better one.
An artwork that give you so much, and tries, successfully, to change you into a better person. How is possible to find a better impact for an artwork ?
