It just gives an energetic feeling deep inside and boosts the morale.

Rating: 10/10 (5 June 2016)

Movie starts with the main character falsely accused and sent to a high security prison to carry out the life sentence. Directed gracefully drives his plot through Andy and it is well supported by Red's character as well. Oh my god, who doesn't love Morgan Freeman's voice. It's magical and one of the many reasons that keeps us aligned with the story-line.
Not the kind of a movie that would make you laugh and clap while you're at the theaters or when you're watching on Netflix but it definitely is one of a kind which comes back to your memory at times and fixes your thinking pattern. Kind of a movie that proves, story- line is always the VIP of the movie. Each and every conversation between Andy and Red are splendid. Especially the last conversation between these two goes to another level. The words still do a dance in the memory.
Prison doesn't scare a man to death but it does steal the whole life from him and make him wish that he shouldn't have done what he had done. The experience of a person who spends more time in prison than the outside world has been very well used to create the idea of how a prison treats the man and how it changes or rather cultivates him better. Let it be Red or let it be Brooks, the portrayal through those characters on the mentioned subject is extra ordinary.
Determination and perseverance shown through Andy is flawless. He is a man of hope, a hope that lights its own flames to guide us through the scary dark places of life.
To conclude, it is a kind of movie that everyone should watch at least once in their life time.
In one word: "Sublime"
