Review of The Shawshank Redemption (1994) by Katrina J — 02 Jan 2018
I could not keep my eyes off the screen. There was never a dull moment, and there was always a lesson to be learned. With most drama movies I become bored and distant from the plot but with the willingness of Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman (and many others) this story felt real.
Such amazing casting with Tim Robbins, I couldn't imagine any other actor in his spot. The Shawshank Redemption immersed the viewer into the prison lifestyle. I felt stuck there along with Andy, Red and the gang; that is, in the best way possible.
Frank Darabont's ability to make realistic dramas is incredible. The movie on the screen no longer becomes a viewing, it becomes an own sight of mind. With nearly two hours and thirty minutes in The Shawshank Redemption, I found not a single flaw.
The screenplay, cinematography, score and acting in this film is flawless. I wish all movies were this great.
