For people who are planning to be a movie addict like me, this one is the best start

Rating: 9/10 (27 August 2013)

The movie features friendship and the bond created between two strangers who have never met each other before. How they feel comfort in a place like Shawshank which I can say is a Hell in real life. Kudos to the directors and actors for such a lovely masterpiece and a must watch for all movie lovers. Even those jaded film fans will love "The Shawshank Redemption" because it sets a new standard for films in this genre. The movie will make you emotional and sometimes sentimental take on friendship and life, even when that life is spent in a cage, and will make viewers laugh, cry, and reflect on their own lives in ways that very few movies can. It may not have won a single Oscar, but it will win your heart, and perhaps that is more important and you will realize it once you have watched this one. A strong recommendation.
