Greatest movie ever made.

Rating: 10/10 (18 January 2006)

The Shawshank Redemption offers a life lesson; that no matter what, hope must never be lost. Hope is a good thing. In addition, it shows the true benefits of friendship, of those that care for you.
Andy Dufresne was sentenced to two life sentences for the murders of his wife and the "fella she was banging." Inside, he meets Red. Red will learn a lesson from Andy, that hope cannot be stripped from you, no matter what is done to you, no matter what happens, no matter how we suffer, hope will always be there to comfort us. Andy's education gets him benefits with the warden, who makes him his "financial pet" for his money laundering activities. He does not know however, that his world is going to come crashing down on him.
This movie has had a very poignant and influential impact on myself. I do not get tired of seeing it, and every time I do, I feel like nothing in this world can hurt me. Only one word comes to my mind when describing the power and beauty of this movie. Perfect.
Hope will set you free.
