One of the best films of all time

Rating: 9/10 (16 April 2018)

Shawshank redemption in my opinion is one of the best films every created. I just recently watched this film for the first time and I was blown away. Shawshank is falsely accused of a crime and is given two consecutive life sentences. In his time in prison he experiences friendships, hardships, and various achievements. Throughout the film I was constantly rooting for Shawshank and his friends, hoping that everything would work out for them. One of my favorite scenes came towards the end of the film. After collecting various items from his friend Ellis, he is able to dig through the wall in his cell and escape the prison by climbing through yards and yards of sewage. This reminded me of the time I visited Alcatraz. I remember hearing about three men who escaped through the wall of their cells by using spoons to dig through the wall. It was sort of like the film Shawshank redemption and I wonder if that's where the inspiration for that scene came from. Overall the movie was inspiring and uplifting and I would definitely recommend seeing it.
