Hat's off Mr. Darabont

Rating: 10/10 (27 June 2017)

I only regret one thing, I didn't see this movie on a large screen in '95. Everything is perfect, Freeman and Robbins are perfect in their roles, and even Bob Gunton in the role of master and Clancy Brown as captain Harley who both hate (the captain still looks sympathetic when he beats Bogs but the master is more than detestable). We find in this film the injustice in its pure state with Andy Dufresne twice sentenced to life imprisonment for two murders he says he didn't commit, and that he didn't commit and who is making friends with a resident who has been there for 20 years, Red, known for being "the man who gets everything". The ultimate injustice falls when Tommy, a "little asshole" who took two years for burglary, learns to Andy that a man killed his wife and her lover of, an opportunity for Andy to prove that he is not guilty. When the director asks Tommy if it is true and young man says "yes", he killed Tommy to protect his interests. However, Dufresne happens to escape from prison and takes all the money he had laundered for the master and he go live in Mexico after he denounced Norton, forcing him to commit suicide. This film shows us a great friendship between Freeman and Robbins but it also raises the problem of reintegration, showing us Brooks, detained for 50 years in Shawshank, not surviving the outside world and committing suicide. This film is perfect, music could be the weak point but I would just say that's not a strong point, which does not prevent the fact that this film is a masterpiece worth a 10/10! Hat's off Mr. Darabont!
