The triumph of human spirit in the Shawshank prison

Rating: 10/10 (8 June 2017)

The Shawshank Redemption is the first film of Frank Darabont and the best movie of all times, undoubtedly.
Based in the short story 'Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank redemption' of Stephen King (the master of terror), this adaptation is the most realistic story about the hard reality in the prisons and an excellent reflect of our daily life (fear, hope, routine, justice, ambition, freedom and so on).
There are many interesting and endearing characters in the story; however, I only can mention the main characters, they are: - Andy Dufresne: the main character, a man condemned to two life imprisonments for an error, however he is the most optimistic and intelligent character. - Ellis Boyd 'Red' Redding: the narrator, the best friend of Andy and the person who get anything for the prisoners. - Samuel Norton: the ambitious warden of Shawshank prison and the main antagonist. - Brooks Hatlen: the old man that takes care of the library in the prison and the institutionalize man that must confront his hard reality.
In the story, we can watch the main ideas of the stoic and existentialist philosophy, especially the last ideology such we can see in the Andy's actions because he looks for his liberty and he makes his destiny. For more information, anybody we can see the next video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91XDnA9z8h0.
Like in Mulholland Drive, another of my favorite movies, Rita Hayworth has a great importance along of story because Andy have a poster of Rita Hayworth, he and 'Red' watch her film 'Gilda', and Stephen King uses her name, maybe as a symbol of yearning of hope.
This film we can divide in nine parts: - The Andy's judgment: Andy is condemned to two life imprisonments. - The first two years: Andy must confront many problems in the prison, especially Bogs. - The ascent of Andy: Andy helps to prisoners, guardians and the warden. - The destiny of Brooks Hatlen: After 50 years in prison, Brooks leaves prison but he must face the new world. - The prison's library: Andy builds a better library in the Shawshank prison. - The Tommy's story: Andy decides to help Tommy, a new prisoner, and he will help to Andy. - The descent of Andy: Andy have problems with the warden so all needs hope. - Andy gets his freedom: Andy gets his liberty and 'Red' tell us how he did it. - 'Red' gets his freedom: 'Red' gets his liberty but he must fulfill a promise. However, the story is very fluid, so anybody could enjoy the story in all moment.
The most powerful scene in the film is when finally Andy gets his freedom and he celebrates in the rain, because it represents the triumph of hope after many years, furthermore the soundtrack is excellent in that moment.
Along of film, there are important sentences that invite to reflecting: - Get busy living, or get busy dying. - Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies. - Fear can hold you prisoner. Hope can set you free (This sentence not appears in the film, but it is important for explain the story).
This film is the best and more people must know this masterpiece of the cinema story.
