the ultimate prison movie

Rating: Null/10 (21 July 2003)

What is the only thing nobody can take from us? Faith can be taken, so as love, freedom definitely can be taken away; but there is one think that stays with us till the last breath we take and that is Hope. "Remember, Red, hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things. And no good thing ever dies."
"The Shawshank Redemption" is a movie about hope, patience, friendship, and certainly freedom. It is a story of two men trying to survive while doing their time in Shawshank prison. The performance that Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman deliver individually and together is acting at its finest. Especially Freeman. His best performance ever. Actually I am not going to bother revealing the plot or the acting of this one for, I shouldfve started with that, it is a must see gem. It is a 2h 20 min movie but it doesn't stop for a minute to surprise and please.
I'll take the liberty to say that I've seen quite a lot of movies in my life so far and learned enough from them to be able to assure on the quality of this masterpiece. Take my word for it.
