Quite simply the most beautiful film ever made

Rating: 10/10 (2 July 2002)

Although a long film, and for the most part not light hearted, I am able to watch "The Shawshank Redemption" again and again and to this day I can't find fault with it. It was a brave film to make because if it hadn't been made and acted so well, some parts could have been very tacky. One thing I like about the film is the way in which it shows the convicts to be normal people who have made mistakes, not monsters. It emphasised how everybody deserves rights, even if they are in prison. It is an emotional rollercoaster for me making my heart break or swell with happiness. That sounds tacky, but it's not if you've seen the film.
