Simply the Best

Rating: 10/10 (13 December 2019)

What to say about Shawshank, and why to say it when so many have tried. It is simply the best movie that you can see. My wife watched it and she doesn't understand why it is so powerful to me. What I've found is that this movie speaks to the soul of men. It's a tale of ultimate injustice, hope, friendship, and perseverance. Core themes that resonate deeply with men especially.
Tim's acting of Andy's indignation about his misfortune is masterful. Morgan's acting of Red's rediscovery of purpose is extremely satisfying. Two men from different walks of life, become the unlikely best of friends that makes everyone happy to invest in.
If you're only into explosions and nudity, this one isn't for you. If you want a movie that lays out bare what makes a man go on, here you go. "Get busy living.."
