A moving story

Rating: 10/10 (29 July 2010)

The Shawshank Redemption begins with the hero of this story, Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins) being convicted of murder, and sent to Shawshank prison. While there Andy meets a man who is a very longtime convict, named Red (Morgan Freeman). With the help of his new friend, Andy will change Shawshank prison in a way that no one will see coming.
I was absolutely shocked when I first saw this movie. At first I had no idea what to even say about it I thought it was so good. The Shawshank Redemption is in my opinion not only one of my favorite films of all time, but one of the greatest of all time. Tim Robbins delivers one of the best performances of his career, and was probably deserving of an Oscar nomination, along with Morgan Freeman who had an amazingly powerful performance as well. Overall The Shawshank Redemption is one of my favorite, if not my favorite, movies of all time. It is what I believe to be Frank Darabont's masterpiece.
