Simply one of the best movies ever !

Rating: 9/10 (3 December 2010)

This is, by far, one of the best movies I've ever seen. It's simply moving. Incredbly perfect in all the aspects. The story is unbelievable, with great actors and a director who really knew how to make the story work.
Andy Dufresne really got the bad luck when he was incriminated for the murder of his wife and her lover. He had all the clues against him, and not a really convincing alibi. He made some friends in the prison, including his best friend, the guy who could get things("Red"), and the director of the prison. Using his experience as a former banker, he helped the director of the prison to make lots of money corruptly.
He helped the director in exchange for some favors. But the director didn't helped him when he most needed him, and, to make it worse, he killed the only witness who knew the guy that had really killed Andy's wife and her lover.
What anybody expected is the end of this story, which I wont give away. I can only say that the hope Andy had for things to work out had materialized, and the good guys lived happy forever.
Masterpiece.
