The greatest movie ever made.

Rating: 10/10 (20 August 2014)

The Shawshank Redemption is in my mind undeniably the greatest movie ever made. This film breaks down the essence of human existence, embodies the human condition, and shows that when knocked down there is always hope. Just as Andy said "hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies". That is what this film is it is not just a prison film it is not just a redemption story it is truly a lesson. This film is a masterpiece only a few films in existence come remotely close to this movie but none can compare.
I would recommend this film to everyone because what you get out of it is all based on your beliefs but everyone can agree that this is a masterpiece that should endure throughout the ages.
