So the Shawshank Redemption ir probably one of the greatest films I've ever seen.
I'm not one for missing out on good movies, and am always on the ball when it comes to talking about an old classic. I'm forever ranting about how great Titanic is, or how I really liked Sophie's Choice (even though it really is all just about Streeps performance, the actual film is a little boring). I hadn't actually seen Shawshank, and it was only when I found it on video behind the TV that I decided to give it a watch, be blown away and now can't stop thinking about it.
OH MY GOD.
Love it love it love it.
Performances were ace, script was perfect, and it wins no Oscars, which is typical. I thought the film was just perfect, emotional, over the top and at the same time very realistic and heartfelt. Heroes succeed, hope prevails, evil is defeated and everyone lives happily ever after on a boat. For a prison based film that was so anti fairy-tales, it ended up being a real dreamy treat. Thank you Morgan Freeman for your wonderful voice.
