"The Shawshank Redemption" is a movie about time, patience and loyalty...
Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman are crucial to the story unfolds. This is not a "prison drama" in any conventional sense of the word. It is not about violence, riots or melodrama. The word "redemption" is in the title for a reason. The movie is based on a story, Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption, by Stephen King, which is quite unlike most of King's work. The horror here is not the supernatural kind, but the sort that flows from the realization of 10, 20, 30 years of a man's life unreeled in the same unchanging daily prison routine.
