Great Movie - You must see it!

Rating: 10/10 (15 February 2007)

The greatness of "The Shawshank Redemption" is all the great values this film is built on - love, friendship, lending hand to another man. What is also wonderful about this film is its combination of its serious moments with the beautiful humour. In addition, the film has a third-person narrator which adds a lot of meaning to it and allows to develop a closer relationship with Red and - through Red - with Andy. As for Stephen King's story that the film is based on, it a bit disappointed me. However, after reading it I appreciated Frank Darabont's work even more - I saw how much imagination and creativity he had to use for "The Shawshank Redemption". Lastly, the score is so beautiful you can cry at moments, e.g. the piece accompanying the arrival of Andy's transport to the Shawshank Prison. I guess I watched this movie five times and think I will watch it many times more. I recommend it to everyone.
