It's a tear-jerker, but it tears of happiness! :)

Rating: Null/10 (19 June 2003)

BIG SPOILER AHEAD! I was supposed to see the Green Mile instead of this movie, but Blockbuster didn't have it in and recommended this movie. So I gave TSR (The Shawshank Redemption) a go. And I was really glad I did! Some moments of the film had raw violence, some moments were really depressing, some were amusing (It's Dumas not dumb ass!), and some were really powerful and happy and positive. I personally thought the ending was flawless. The main character in the story didn't have the good ending thrown at him, he had to go thorugh some sh!t to get it (literally!) Whenever I think of TSR, I always remember how it ended at the beautiful and bright beach with the two old friends hugging. Everything was so good and happy even though it was the complete opposite in the beginning. I expected this to be a very dark movie but it just had that atmosphere in the beginning and that was about it. But I hate the fact that the boss of the prison had that teenage kid killed!!! That sucked!!! But anyways...See it! I give this a 10/10!
