An amazing, classic prison film

Rating: 9/10 (25 December 2001)

Shawshank Redemption is a great film. This is one of the best dramas ever made, and probably Morgan Freeman's best film. One of the reasons why it was so good is the voice-over in the film. Morgan Freeman has a superb reading voice and works well as a narrator. I think the best scene is when Andy plays the opera music and all the prisoners look up to the speakers as if it is a God or idol. It shows a glimpse of freedom in the eyes of the prisoners. Also the story-line was excellent, but I dont think that it was explained clear enough what happened in the beginning. But it still is one of the best films made.
