The Power of Hope.

Rating: 10/10 (13 May 1999)

The Shawshank Redemption is a beautiful film about the power of hope. Andy Dufrense (Tim Robbins) is one of those rare characters in American cinema that inspires one to live with conviction, tenacity, and poetry. The relationship between he and Red (Morgan Freeman) echoes the deep friendship found in the Biblical story of Jonathan and David. Truly a film to watch again and again. "Get busy living, or get busy dying."
