Most dramas wish they could be this

Rating: 10/10 (2 December 2003)

The Shawshank Redemption is right up there with my favourite movies. Its probably the best deep story example of a movie that I like.
The film is a touching tale of the dehumanizing effects of a life in prison, a modern version of which can be seen on HBO's Oz. I digress, the first time I saw this movie, I was actually touched by the story.
I began to feel crappy for Andy, I understood Red's bitterness, disgusted when Andy crawled out the crap pipe. The movie tells a very very powerfully depressing story, but to keep the watcher from getting mad has an amazingly uplifting ending, that makes the story seem worth it.
Amazing, enough said.
