You shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free

Rating: 10/10 (18 March 2000)

I have no doubt in saying that this is undoubtedly the best movie I have ever seen. "The Shawshank Redemption" is a tale of suffering and despair, but also one of hope and redemption - as the title suggests. The truth of life lies within each one of us - just as it lay within Andy Dufresne - all we have to do is find it. Once you know the truth, it will set you free. The message of this film is that there is always hope, there is always truth, and together these two bring redemption - even in Shawshank!
