The shawshank redemption through the eyes of a teen

Rating: 10/10 (21 January 2014)

Yes I'm 15 years old I've seen this movie once and that was almost a year ago. After seeing this movie for the first time in my life I felt like a changed person. Yes everyone has hard times but this movie showed me not only the power of hope but the power of friendship.
It's funny my name is Andy my dad names me this because of the shawshank redemption and now I feel blessed to have that name. When Andy is brought to prison my first thought was he was a bad or even evil person. Over time that calmly slips away.
I think what makes this the #1 movie of all time is the redemption part. Yes there are plenty of good movies about hope and change, but the great films such as shawshank convince you there will be a bad or sad ending and it doesn't happen.
I will show this to my kids whenever that happens I will wage tell there my age though not because of the violence or the rape or language but because when they see this I want them to understand it and love it and hopefully change them.
