Reflects the human condition

Rating: 10/10 (11 January 2006)

It's my personal favorite. A man discovers himself after he is sentenced to life in prison, and can escape and move to Zihuatanejo, his greatest dream.
It's something that represents the human condition of looking for what you want, but quiet few can achieve their goals as Andy Dufresne did with patience and courage.
The rhythm of the movie is slow and subtle, as a fairy tale but with the harshness of reality.
You can watch it over and over again and keep enjoying the ride...it's a classic and classics prevail!
