If the film is perhaps a little slow in its middle passages, maybe that is part of the idea, too, to give us a sense of the leaden passage of time, before the glory of the final redemption. full review

January 2, 2010One word: GREAT!
This is just a brilliant movie, I'm astonished. When the movie starts it's just good, not fantastic or something, but when it comes to an ending.. Wow. The moral of this movie is just wonderful. Everybody should see this film.
Tim Robbins is marvellous, and Morgan Freeman..Magnificent!
The Shawshank Redemption will be added to my list of favourite movies! -

March 28, 2009this is the film that indeed dearest to my heart. at first i ignored this one when i walk through a video store thinking nothing about it until i learned about their Oscar nominations. they had 7 Oscar nominations but went home nothing. so i give it a try, i rented it without single knowledge of what kind of movie this was (i was even curious about the title though) and the rest is history to me. i had vcd of this film (i don't have dvd coz i can't find it) and i never let anyone to borrow it because its a treasure to me and i can't find it anywhere in our country. this movie should stay forever and ever, amen!

Not even walls can hold hope confined.
Shawshank is a tale of freedom, friendship and the bond of overcoming struggle in the face of desperation.
A true masterpiece. -
