As Pandora knew with hope we can survive anything

Rating: 9/10 (27 January 1999)

I went in to give blood- the staff was watching this.. needless to say several orange juices and cookies later I was still at the blood bank, laughing and crying with the staff. This is a remarkable movie for its subtlety- I like the fact that no one ever knew Andy was digging a tunnel- I like how he tells his friend to look a certain place if he ever gets out- and I like the message of hope for those who feel hopeless. Stephen King outdid himself with the story and Robbins and Freeman do wa wonderful job with the script they were given. Just to see the words " brooks was here" and then "so was Red" add those little touches that makes a movie great. A movie that deserved more accolades.
