first time is the charm

Rating: 10/10 (21 May 2004)

I never intended to ever watch this movie. A girlfriend of mine told me "you'll love it." And after I finished watching it I was stunned. No movie other than "The Accidental Tourist" has had such an influence on my life. This movie is about hope and it shows you that it can never be lost. It also shows you that the weakest looking people may actually be the strongest. The thing about Shawshank Redemption is even if you hate dramas you'll appreciate this movie nevertheless. This movie stopped me from being an action genre junkie and turned me into a connoisseur of great movies. Even though there is no science-fiction in this movie you'll still feel that its magical. However, the first time you view it will be the best. Go see it.......it'll make your day brighter!
