Just yesterday I finished watching it again on Netflix, a real escape classic. The film is carried by a very well told (Morgan Freeman tells the story of Andy Dufresne) story and of course the outstanding brilliant acting of Tim Robbins. Not forgetting his adversary, the ruthless director, brilliantly played by Bob Gunton. Morgan Freeman at his best. Everything is right, script, direction, acting, camera, locations, music, narration, everything is perfectly coordinated, you can't make a film any better. Awesome!… Expand

Andy Dufresne manages to escape from prison in the worst and most difficult conditions of prison with life imprisonment and reaches liberation and freedom.

Shawshank Redemption is without doubt one of the best films ever made, and definitely the best film of 1994. Yes, it is better than Lion King, and I really like that too. It is not only enthralling but powerful and moving too. I will confess that I didn't understand it when I first saw it as a lot happens in the film, and I have now seen it three times. I seriously hope, that those who ignored the film when it was first released now recognise it as a great film, as it really is. The dialogue was extremely well-written, with lines that really stick in your mind. The cinematography and music are both gorgeous, and the prison itself is like a character that dominates the film. In the script, there are some true elements of Stephen King Now I admit I am not a huge king fan, and usually don't like coarse language in books. But in his books like It, which is very good, I have accepted the language represents brutality and rebellion, shown perfectly in the film with the battle of acceptance I suppose between the inmates and the superiors(like the scene with the warden yelling coarse language at the new inmates lined up in a row at the beginning.)The acting was exceptional. I am not hugely familiar with Tim Robbins, but he did a great job in a very demanding role. The best performance however, comes from Morgan Freeman as Red, who was seriously robbed of that Oscar, that he lost to Tom Hanks for Forrest Gump. Freeman reminds me very strongly, or his style of acting does, remind me of that of Sean Connery, suave yet very charismatic. Acting isn't just about your vocal range, it's about depth, which was what Freeman certainly had. In short, Freeman was brilliant in what could be his best performance. The scene where the inmates are listening to the Mozart aria over the speakers was a beautiful profound moment, and I actually cried in Brook's death scene. Very rarely do King adaptations translate-to screen well, because of the large scale of the author's books, with the exception of this and the Shining. Some like It and Dreamcatcher are genuinely memorable but have a number of flaws that prevent them from being classed as outstanding. And some, like Thinner and Tommyknockers that border on unwatchable. In conclusion Shawshank is a brilliant film, that is worthy of the credit it has been denied for so-long. 10/10 of course.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Despite a marvelous start paved with amazingly captured exposure scenes, attractive flashbacks and an unavoidable narration from Morgan Freeman, 'The Shawshank Redemption' sadly manages to lose its main plot into deceptively intertwined sub-plots.

Originally presented as a classic film, it ends up being more like a documentary on the American prison system. Surely we closely follow the experience of Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins), whose performance remains striking by the way, but the scenario tends to incorporate dull and shallow characters. Obviously you are never incarcerated alone, and the omnipresence of others is a point of life in jail you can't miss, but here the movie doesn't even bother to link characters further than the few relations we see them have on screen. It is like if all characters evolved on their own but still achieve to develop a great team spirit.

In the end there remains numerous unanswered questions and misunderstandings. All I can say is that director Frank Darabont wanted to be sure we see that Andy Dufresne suffer a lot and withstand many terrible events. That we see him trying to remain upright and honest, tough in his own way. But for what ? His revenge tastes so bland and uncompelling compared to what we see him go through almsot two complete hours ! The ending seems so disappointing and awkwardly dreamy compared to the rationality and coldness of the beginning of the movie, as if the screenwriters had bent over the script and written it all at once, without bothering to add the glue that would have allowed the many pieces of the puzzle to fit together.… Expand

Probably no, not because the movie was bad or anything, it was absolutely flawless, but because it's always hard to point out one thing as the best ever, especially when you have so many other great works to accompany it. And, in addition, opinions are always subjective. But despite all of that, It was an incredible film, a timeless masterpiece which I feel safe to call one of the best that I have ever seen. It aspires for all the great things, and executes them perfectly. It is a movie that manages to make you see prison inmates, killers, rapists, and other outcasts of society, as complex human beings with feelings, dreams and hopes. It makes you relate to them in certain ways and empathize with them. It is a movie about never losing hope, despite what situation you end up in. To keep fighting for that freedom, that peace, which seems so far-fetched, but that you know you can achieve through perseverance. A true masterpiece.… Expand

What made me even question this is I am watching the series in John Wayne Gacy the Killer Clown. And one of the victims child asked why did it take so long and there was supposedly some cops involved in the 33 crimes. So I started to think about the shawshank redemption and wondered...was the shawshank redemption showing us that they did fake executions? You know movies reveal alot of things. Well you all ask what do I mean. Well the part when they were practicing the execution and they had the inmate acting like he was getting electrocuted. Well for one why wpuld they do that? With a inmate anyways. Why didnt they just do it with another officer? I believe they actually did stuff like that to fake executions on sime people. Because you know they put people out there to do things like this. I mean murder people and stuff. This is an evil world. How hard wpuld it be to fake an execution really? And they never let the public see it...why? Someone with a depth of intellect please dialogue with me on this. Thanks I apologize I didnt mean shawshank redemption wrong movie! The Green Mile!

I don’t exactly agree but that doesn’t take away from this being a awesome movie. Great performances, especially by Morgan Freeman, brilliant writing and an amazing story from the mind of Stephen King blend together into this melting pot of genius. The story is simple, Andy Dufresne, who may or may not have murdered his wife is sent to Shawshank Prison, there’s not much more to it. But Shawshank’s strongest asset is its heart. It makes you face the harsh reality of the prison system, and raises many questions that continue to cause me to ponder, not just about the penal system, but about the very nature of humanity. And I’m not ashamed to admit that I cried more than once.… Expand

It is also the one case where the movie adaptation is significantly better than the already excellent book (A short story). It is based on Stephen Kings story “Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption. It is the story of Andy Dufresne who is sentenced to a life long detention while claiming to be innocent. Over the years he befriends Ellis Redding a fellow inmate. It is a story full of friendship, emotions and spiritual abysses. I cant spoil anything of the story because this would be a crime. I had often tears in my eyes and cried at the end. I have never seen a movie of this caliber. This is delivered by the great cast. Must I even praise the legendary Morgan Freeman? There is the quote “There is no bad movie with Morgan Freeman” and it is absolute valid. He should have much more Oscars. Then there is Tim Robbins who challenges even Morgan Freeman in this movie. But it did not end here. Bob Gunton, Clancy Brown and Gil bellows are also excellent. Then there is the set. They used the real life Ohio State Reformatory that was closed shortly before. It gives a good scenery and adds realism. I must also talk about the score. Thomas Newman should be praised for his masterful additions that enhance the scenes while also take nothing away. I should not forget the writer and director Frank Darabont because without a great script and a talented director no great movie can ever be made. He put all pieces together. What should I say. This movie is universally praised, it is since 2008 the best movie on IMDb and on nearly all all time favorites list. I have yet to find anyone who dislikes the movie genuinely. Overall this is as close to perfection as possible.… Expand

It's also incredible how every scene just matters so much for the entire story, there isn't any time wasted nor does it feel to short.
A brilliant movie that everybody should've seen at least once in their life.… Expand

No matter how many times I watch this movie, I never get over it. A genuine and absolute outlook on life and death, freedom and captivity, friend and foe. A perfect score is what the Shawshank Redemption will always deserve. Its idea will never die.

A film about friendship and solidarity, built on fear, pain and corruption and with the need for survival as the only moral compass from beginning to end.

Not sure why people would hate this movie, even though there are flaws in this movie, it's still one of the best movies in history. It teaches us that "hope" is a good thing and you should never give up hope.

Everything about this film is near perfect. It is an intriguing tale of prison life and routine and how it can affect a man's physique or how you can take advantage of its certain benefits. The film has without a doubt one of the most alluring film protagonists in Andy Dufresne, portrayed by the brilliant Tim Robbins. His subtle yet realistic portrayal of a shy and intelligent banker who is framed for murder is one of the best performances I have personally ever seen. Another character who I can't get enough of is Red played by the unsurprisingly exceptional Morgan Freeman. His outstanding narration sets the mood throughout the film's duration and is simply brilliant. The protagonist's journey from being a vulnerable individual to becoming the most protected person in Shawshank prison is a truly remarkable one. The film is directed phenomenally by Frank Darabont and even more impressive is that this is his first feature film. I strongly recommend that you watch this film as it is one of the greatest films to ever be made and without a doubt my favourite film of all time.… Expand

Besides the great storytelling, what I most love about this one is the great cast with strong performances and the fact that the main character is indeed intelligent.
