"Shawshank" The Best Ever

Rating: Null/10 (6 August 1999)

I truly believe this is one of the best films I have ever seen.
Slow to start, but then it grabs you totally (I Recommend going to the loo before you start watching, as you will not be able to force yourself to turn the Vid off when you get hooked).
The film is full of feeling and emotion, it gave/still gives me goose bumps, in places.
Sad as it may seem, I have bought the video twice, cause I am worried that the 1st one will be worn out too quickly (& I'm not joking).
What can I tell you about the film, nothing much as it would ruin the many brilliant different, yet connected stories within. Except to say it is about a man who ( In true tradition) ends up in a prison (Shawshank) yet professes his innocence, and eventually be-friends a fellow black inmate.
The story is narrated by the afore mentioned inmate portrayed by Morgan Freeman, who's doleful voice, and heart thought comments are so beautiful, and so suited to the film.
Tim Robbins ( the new inmate ) plays his role wonderfully, and interacts with the film ( a credit to his skill ) wonderfully.
If I have not convinced you to watch the film ( Which I personally have Recommended to numerous people, who all loved it) there is the music and the fantastic images of the prison itself. Overwhelming in every respect.
I still have a tear in my eye at the end of the film, even now.
Let Me Know.
I really hope you enjoy, this, so under acknowledged film.
