A very thrilling movie to watch and re watch.

Rating: 9/10 (18 October 2016)

Shawshank Redemption: Shawshank Redemption is a classic movie that is well written and beautifully produced. With a lot of suspense and action it is a movie that everybody should watch. Tim Robbins an actor that has been in many movies such as Nothing To Lose, Bob Roberts, Arlington Road, and many more, plays an important role in the movie Shawshank Redemption. Andy Dufresne, who is played by Tim Robbins is a banker that is convicted of killing his wife and another man that she was with. While in jail he meets a guy named Red who is played by Morgan Freeman. Red is known as the ¨guys who can get things,¨ from cigarettes to rock picks he can get it all. Andy keeps a low profile in jail for the first few years. He then becomes friends with a group of guys in the jail that includes Red, but also makes some enemies. With a lot of fighting scenes it helps show the real life events of what jail would be like. On the other hand, the director does a good job in making Andy a very interesting character from his personality and actions. He is very sneaky and persistent, but is also determined and fearless in some situations. The one thing that might turn away a younger audience is the language. The Director does a fantastic job with setting the story and letting it play out but also uses a lot of language that would be used in jail. He shows how lonely, how different ,how depressing, and how life changing jail can be. Throughout the movie the audience takes away a lot of lessons that is shown through the actors lives and stories. One iconic line that I loved was from Morgan Freeman, when he was talking to Andy after he got out if the ¨hole,¨ when he said ¨Get busy living or get busy dying.¨ Frank, the director of this movie directed over 10 movies such as, The Green Mile, and The Majestic. He has been nominated for 3 academy awards and one golden globe award. He has worked with many famous and well known actors such as Morgan Freeman and Tom Hanks. The movie has won many awards including, best picture, best actor in a leading role, best film editing, and many more. The movie is a well written and well produced movie that had a lot of twist and turns that grabs the audience attention and keeps them watching and wanting to re watch the movie. The plot was well put together and flowed throughout the movie which was shown in many different occasions. I believe that this movie is one of the best movies that I have ever seen and is one of the best movies that you will see too.
