The story is a classic- a wrongfully-convicted man tries to find hope. The message and themes in the screenplay of hope are just so emotional and heart-throbbing. I loved watching this film. It was an experience of multiple emotions.
The screenplay and direction is perfect. It is a film that takes its time to fully tell the character study of a wrongfully-accused prisoner. This is a movie everyone has to see at least once in their life. Even if you're not a movie fan, this is a film that you must watch. This is not always an easy film to watch.
However, it is so meaningful and powerful that I think everyone has to see it. Many many people think this is the greatest film of all time and I can see why. The thing that amazes me most is that "The Shawshank Redemption" is told through metaphor. It's brilliantly done. The movie of course receives 5 out of 5. Had useful details 1. Read my mind 2. Teen, 13 years old Written by loglogas March 16, Helped me decide.
Had useful details. I've seen many movies in my life But this one's the best. I loved every second of it. There is a sex scene You don't see anything. Brooks hangs himself, sad. That guy with the greased haircut who's name I can never remember gets shot in the back multiple times.
Drugs aren't that bad, the inmates smoke and in one scene drink beer. It's historical smoking though.
Overall quality 1,,,,,,,,,, out of 5 stars. Best movie ever, but depends on child's maturity. Read my mind. Great acting and beautiful in every other way, however the language is frequent and strong and some of the violence is brutal, still, it's a very good film that should NEVER go to waste.
