Morgan Freeman's Best

Rating: 9/10 (23 January 2016)

if you haven't watched this movie yet, you are missing out my friend. it is one of those movies where the plot moves ahead and you don't have an exact idea about what lies ahead until the final 20 minutes. Having said all that, the film is satisfying, but cloying. Andy is the minister of the healing power of hope. He educates the inmates on the healing power of Mozart. He builds a library. He asks Red why he stopped playing the harmonica. When Red replies that it's no use in prison, Andy looks at him soulfully and replies that "here's where you need it the most." Despite the somewhat unbelievable friendship between a white, upper-class, innocent banker and a black man in 1949, it's a valuable lesson that may seem inspired to children who haven't heard this story a couple hundred times. You would want to clap and jump out of your seat when Andy's genius and patience is on display for the world to see. excellent movie, excellent plot and Morgan Freeman's narration is the added bonus.
