Shawshankk Redemption

Rating: Null/10 (22 September 2011)

The Shawshank Redemption released in 1994 in my opinion is one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. The movie has a great story and even better characters. Tim Robbins plays Andy Dufresne a city banker, wrongfully convicted of murdering his wife and her lover. He is sent to Shawshank prison in 1947 and receives a double life sentence. Andy forms a friendship with "Red" (Morgan Freeman), the entrepreneur of the jail. Both men face many trial and tribulations while incarcerated. But in the end the only thing these two men have in the world are each other and hope, which to them is the only thing "the man" can't take from them. The movie is full of great acting, with a theme of hope and friendship it illustrates human triumph over hardships. Nominated for 7 Oscars this movie was powerful in every way. What you will take away from this movie in the 150 minutes will give you a lifetime of lessons from the heart.
