The most beautiful movie of all time.

Rating: 9/10 (10 May 2011)

Before watching this movie i knew that it would be good,but frankly speaking i had the prejudice of it being overrated.I was like "How the hell can this movie be praised that much?It has to be good but for Christ's sake it can't be that good as people say!".
Now,after having watched The Shawshank Redemprion i can say only one thing: Never,and i mean never,be prejudiced before watching a movie.Even if you have been disappointed by movies that the hype had made think they would be great.
Shawshank Redemption is perfect in every way.The acting,the direction,the soundtrack but most importantly this movie has the most beautiful and incredible story of them all.
People say that movies' significance for the viewer is not just one but many.I agree,they are made in order to amuse you,to relax you and take your mind away of the deadly everyday routine,at least for an hour or two.They are made also to take you in different "worlds" and make you see things from another perspectives.But in my book the major significance of movies to mankind is to pass him and remind life's most valuable things.
In this very film the value that is being radiated so to speak is hope.In fact the whole movie is about the thing that many people lose when they are in difficult situations,it is spelled h-o-p-e.And the way the movie promotes hope is so powerful that it changes you in a way,especially if you need it.
The bottom line is that The Shawshank Redemption is the most beautiful movie of all time and it fulfills the major significance a film can have in a human being's life.For the end i leave Andy Dufresne's quote "Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies"...
