Review of The Shawshank Redemption (1994) by Brian B — 24 Apr 2017
This is a motivational story about a group of people in prison. It shows them going through many different conflicts. Most of the guards treat them badly and often abuse the inmates. The ugly realities of prison life are realized in the first half hour of the movie.
There was strong acting on all parts. It was expertly shot too. It deserves all of the praise it has received. It's been near the top of imdb's top 10 for years and it's showing no signs of slowing down.
It's very moving and it has a lot of character development. It perfectly represents all the struggles that the characters go through. Also, the movie is highly brutal. Especially near the beginning.
This isn't for anyone who doesn't like brutality but it's rather fitting in this movie. The way it combined brutality with a highly memorable story makes it something special. It touched me in a way that I cannot describe.
Without any doubt, it's the best drama ever and one of the greatest movies of all time.
