To tell the truth, I am speechless. The Shawshank Redemption is wonderful. I’am not too old film fan, in fact, this film is realised whenI was born, and thence I am more used to films with improbable special effects, edge-of-your-seat action, et cetera. This movie has zero of that, and nonetheless, it appeals me very . The way Frank Darabont uses the narration of Red to drive on the story, the beauty of the music used (note the mouth harp used just before Red finding the letter close to the end). The entire film, from start to finish, from actions to sound, is a beacon of hope, judgement, and repurchase. The cast is mastered, Morgan Freeman(Red) really brings about a refreshing feel to the film, and that’s exactly what the film is, what a movie should be. Really recommended for each film fan.
