Amazing

Rating: 10/10 (15 August 2002)

Andy Dufrense (Tim Robbins) is found guilty of murdering his wife, and sentenced to Shawshank for life. He's innocent, but unable to clear his name. So off he goes, to one of the most horrible prisons in the country. At first the other inmates don't show him any respect, as they think he's just a snob. But he manages to get one friend, Red (Morgan Freeman), who he become very close to. During his time in prison he finds different ways of spending his time, such as building a library, helping the guards with their tax reports and putting up posters of pretty girls on his cell wall...
Tim Robbins preformance in this movie was the best I've ever seen. I saw this movie for the first time when I was 13, and at the time I had no clue of who he was or when this movie was made, but after seeing it I decided to become an actress. Later I found out he was Tim Robbins and that the movie weren't made in the 60's (as I thought...). I guess that was when my admiration for Tim Robbins began. Today I have seen alot more of his work and still believe he's my hero as much as I did that day when I first saw "The Shawshank Redemption".
All the other actors were also really great, and the script is amazing. The scenes are amazing. Everything about this movie is amazing. You can see it over and over again, and still be amazed everytime. This is one of those movies you have to see at least once a year. Just to experience how truly amazing it is.
