Speechless

Rating: 10/10 (2 March 2009)

There aren't words too describe the greatness of this movie. The Directing is fantastic. The music, moving. The dialog, amazing. The story, exhilarating. Stephen Kings fantastic story of hope has been brought to the screen as my second favored movie of all time.
Andy Dufresene (Tim Robbins) is a middle aged man who has been wrongly sent to prison for the murder of his wife and her lover. With a lifetime to spend in Shawshank state prison he makes friends with an old timer at Shawshank, Ellis Boyd Redding(Morgan Freenman). Sfter a couple of years of abuse at the hands of the sisters (led by Mark Rolston) Andy makes nice with the guards and becomes the teachers pet of the prison. During his time at Shawshank Andy endures more hell than anyone could ever imagine. From a friend dying to 50 feet of unimaginable stench.
This movie was not as well received as it should have been. It may have been nominated for a couple of Oscars but the viewer reception was just not to great. This movie is my favored only behind A Few Good Men.
