My thoughts... [10/10]

Rating: 10/10 (18 April 2004)

Quite simply, the finest film that I have ever had the pleasure to see. It's a classic take of good overcoming the bad, and takes viewers on an emotional journey through the lives of inmates, particularly Andy Dufrene and Ellis Redding, at Shawshank jail.
I have seen this movie at least ten times, and is one of the few films that I could honestly watch over and over again - always more to look out for, always more ways to enjoy it.
The story, direction, casting and acting are all second to none, and together create a nigh perfect cinematic experience.
I urge anyone who has not seen this movie to watch it as soon as possible.
