One of the finest film in the world

Rating: 10/10 (2 September 2014)

I'm shocking what a true genuine movie is that. Every time you see this movie! You feel like it fresh. Awesome movie I ever watch in my entire life....itself a testament to overcoming odds. It is sentimental and stereotyped, yet we are able not only to suspend our disbelief but to root for it all the way.It's an old-school melodrama at heart, sturdy and forthright and upstanding, but without a whisper of complexity or wit. I have not read Stephen King's novella (his first non-horror), but some of the movie's deficiencies, such as the old-fashioned morality tale and portentous message and redemption--must have been in the source material.An amazing movie. Easily one of the best movies made during the 90s and definitely one of the top 'prison' movies of all- time. Pretty much everything about this movie works and works extremely well!It may deserve to be generally regarded as (one of) the most overrated film(s) ever made, but it is above all a wonderful, uplifting and deeply touching tale of hope and perseverance that certainly deserves to be remembered as one of the best adaptations of a Stephen King story. Before we can critically assess The Shawshank Redemption, we first have to deal with The Shawshank Reputation. In addition to its Oscar nominations and huge critical acclaim, the film has topped the IMDb Top 250 for years and shows no signs of dropping off any time soon. Any attempt to criticism it could come across
