Incredible

Rating: 10/10 (31 August 2018)

Shawshank redemption left me feeling human. Superb acting and masterful directing, and amazing music, and everything else crumbled together in one film that a person simply must watch.
I understand Darabont is a prison fan. Have only seen two of his films and both ar in prison (the second one is The Green Mile). I guess there is something extremely attractive about jails. How this place that seems so inhumane and cruel is full of real people in fact, who may have wronged during their lives, but they are real. They are able to love and hate and fight... This is represented through everyday detail of the film.
And then someone is thrown in who has the guts and the brains and who makes this prison life just a little better for the people there. He is extremely kind. In a way, the protagonist is very similar to the main character of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.
Loved it. Awesome. Amazing!
