It Checks All the Boxes

Rating: 10/10 (29 April 2020)

I love when stories provide all the answers towards the end of the film.
Shawshank Redemption does exactly that and more.
It has a feel good story, with amazing plots and twists, while also serving up suspense and entertainment.
The filmmaking is tremendous, as well. And if I were to have a favorite scene in all of movie history, it would be when Andy falls out of the sewer pipe after crawling in filth to then scream in joy while rain pours on him. It symbolizes more than just escaping prison.
Such a beautiful scene.
