Beautiful And Stunning A True Masterpiece Of Cinema

Rating: 10/10 (23 November 2006)

Rarely do movies come along that change a persons perspective on life, but for The Shawshank Redemption this statement is granted. From start to finish a beautiful adaptation of what movies are supposed to be like, displaying humanities most important elements, hope, joy, retribution and redemption, they all come into play and thats what makes it a cut above the rest. Society changes views on certain aspects of life but somehow hope always stays at the forefront, for change, for a better life. To change ones situation and to free the soul of a prison of emotion. Shawshank doesn't have special effects or big blockbuster openings and endings, but it does have one thing that is more deep and special, it has a message that appeals to the good in everyone, that no ones situation is indefinite and that where there's hope, there's life.
