Classic film!

Rating: 9/10 (24 March 2016)

I wanted to watch for a long time as it had good ratings and is Morgan Freeman's arguably his best performance. In this movie he plays the role of a prisoner inmate known as 'Red' and landed up in the Shawshank jail for murdering a person. Tim Robbins portrays an another falsely accused inmate known as Andry Dufresne. He had been convicted for murdering his wife but in reality he hadn't.
The movie meticulously shows Andy's life in prison life. There are many scenes which just stole my heart such as some phrases,etc. One may say it is a bit slow moving and lacks a coherent plot but nah, it was a well written plot. Well it is actually based on Stephen Hawking's novella 'Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption'. Towards the end of the film, Andy Dufresne escapes the Shawshank prison through sheer hard work. He had been chiseling through a well to make up a tunnel. Towards the end, 'Red' ( Morgan Freeman) is acquitted and meets up Andry Dufresne ( Tim Robbins ) . The cinematography is also good.
This movie is definitely one of the best movies ever made in the course of movie history. Man, the acting of Morgan Freeman is just too good.
