This movie not only had a good story but the story telling also was commendable.

Rating: 9/10 (30 September 2009)

This movie not only had a very good story line, but also the way story was told to the audience was commendable. i have not seen many movies which you want to watch again, but this sure was.
After you watch the movie and know what Andy actually was upto, you would want to actually watch it again to see how good actors (especially Andy) acted in those scenes.
Movie revolves around Andy who is a hot shot banker, convicted for his wife's murder and subsequently sent for two life sentences back to back in Shawshank Prison. Andy who by his level of education and IQ gets gifted with both friends and enemies inside the walls, gels up well with Red, who gets a lot of things done for Andy. Warden also is impressed with Andy and starts a scam with his help to launder money into his pocket.
In between, the brawl with "gang of sisters" the homosexuals who try to assault Andy and Reds group, with who Andy starts to get along with pretty well, play a very important part in the story.
After twenty years, a young boy who somehow knows and could testify Andy's innocence comes to Shawshank Prison for committing some felony. Warden gets him killed and covers up the crime with 'that boy trying to break free' story.
By this time Andy gets ready for his revenge with Warden and his final step.
Story unfolds.
I would like everybody who watches this to watch this movie twice, so that they can understand the true essence of storytelling. Must tell you that, I was more thrilled when I watched it for second time, as I could understand things which were puzzling me for the first time.
Brilliantly told, Meticulously Acted and Highly Recommended.
