Great movie

Rating: 9/10 (19 April 2014)

'The Shawshank Redemption' is a brilliant adaptation, if only because Darabont has some quintessential scenes added. So Andy locks himself inside the library, while he plays opera music all over the courtyard. In another sequence Darabont shows the suicide of an old freed prisoner who cant get used to the outside world. There are some smaller changes to the characters. Both in the book and the film Tommy Williams is the young rascal who tells Andy who really killed his wife. Andy gets excited and gets a month of solitary confinement, but in the move Williams is murdered.
The film is quite a gem. He tastes like freedom on a silver blue bird. Freedom on a hot summer day. Freedom as "wander around the prison grounds like you can go to a cocktail party at anytime " Freedom after forty years' imprisonment. 'The Shawshank Redemption' colors the most morbid mind blue. The color of the sea, The color of Andy's freedom.
