Miracle on screen

Rating: 10/10 (9 November 2014)

No words that i can think of even comes close of how amazing this movie really is. its funny, thrilling and bone chilling. what i really love about this movie is that you really feel for the characters as if they were family. when Brooke's committed suicide I was holding on a pillow shouting. It has it moment, and the greatest flaw of this movie in my opinion is pacing. The Shawshank Redemption may be a tad slow, but it is justified. I believe director Frank Darabont wanted to show Andy's time at Shawshank by showing how slow prison time really is. Some movies are just slow; this movie does it for a deeper reason, adding to Shawshank's genius.
Adding to the slow pacing, Andy acting is neutral is bare shows emotion. Which is charming in a way, because Straight face can magically immerse you in a weird way. Neo from the Matrix series for instance. Tim Robbins did this on purpose. Andy was quiet, mellow, and was obviously quite shocked and angry he was going to prison for a crime he didn't do. I feel like the fact that he acted like this just added to the realistic atmosphere of the movie.
In one word, a masterpiece Have come at the wrong time. Nevertheless, still an unforgettable movie. The story will take in. Great movie with fantastic performances by Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins..
This kind of movie will get you off the hook at first, But it's an acquired taste that you will receive half way through.
