Once you choose hope, anything's possible.

Rating: 10/10 (8 September 2013)

Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins) is an accountant who, accused of murdering his wife, entered Shawshank prison in 1947. Dufresne, just like everybody else, claims he is innocent. Only in his case, it's actually true. Pretty soon his stoic manner gets the attention of narrator Redding (Morgan Freeman). Redding is the local smuggler. He admires Andy's positive attitude. Even the tough regime of Shawshank prison can't break him.
The life in Shawshank prison is presented as metaphor for our real society. Wherein the "prisoners of life" accept their fate and stop dreaming to avoid being disappointed. Offcourse there's always one who is determined to break through.
The Shawshank Redemption is a story about hope, friendship and surviving within the walls of a heavily guarded prison. This movie is a shiny jewel. It tastes like the freedom of a silver-blue bird a summer day. Like strolling around the prison yard as if you could just leave for a cocktail party at any moment. Freedom after twenty years of confinement. The Shawshank Redemption colors the darkest mood sky-blue. The color of the sea. The color of Andy's freedom.
