1994 Directed by Frank Darabont
Framed in the 1940s for the double murder of his wife and her lover, upstanding banker Andy Dufresne begins a new life at the Shawshank prison, where he puts his accounting skills to work for an amoral warden. During his long stretch in prison, Dufresne comes to be admired by the other inmates -- including an older prisoner named Red -- for his integrity and unquenchable sense of hope.

If you ever feel down,
If you ever feel like giving up,
If you ever feel like nothing is gonna workout,
If you ever feel hopeless,
If you ever feel like dying,
Watch this film. It is a miraculous medicine. It is a wonderful movie.
You can “film student” me all you want, but I’d seriously question the sanity of anyone who doesn’t think this is one of the greatest films ever made.
"Everybody in here's innocent, didn't you know that?"
Watched this for the first time in ages as the latest guest on Fangoria's THE KINGCAST.
I say as much on the podcast, but one thing I kept thinking this time around is how little the film's ideas about the inhumanity of prison have been adopted by the predominant white male college-aged demographic that made this movie the top film on IMDb. I fully believe the depiction of police in media heavily contributes to America's lionization of the police, and our wrongheaded belief that they're an organization of heroes that keep the darkness at bay– and yet we have a reverse dynamic with prisons (a near-unanimous media depiction of prison as an…
One of the most impressive King adaptations, and I would say it contains the best performance every cast member has given to this day.
I love the way it expresses the need for friendship, bravery, freedom, and above all - hope. A powerful film that is clearly standing the test of time.
You know that feeling when you watch a movie so much it gets boring?
I
don't
have
that

Brooks was here.
I couldn't possibly tell you how I lost it in that particular scene. Losing hope, conquering freedom but being unable to enjoy it. The inability to adjust to new times, to a new life, after spending so many years living in a certain way. That's heartbreaking and made this scene one of the most, if not the most, touching ones of this film for me.
What I can definitely tell you is that The Shawshank Redemption is one of the most amazing films I've ever seen, for all its hopeful and hopeless moments and the dialogue that makes us think about life and how we perceive it and other people as well. This is an incredibly touching and emotional piece of cinema, one I should've watched ages ago.
Out of the three heavyweights released in 1994, The Shawshank Redemption was the one that ended up bearing the maximum brunt. First commercially by failing to recover its budget for it debuted in theatres together with one of cinema's greatest watershed events; Pulp Fiction. And then at Academy Awards where it was nominated for seven Oscars yet failed to win any, thanks to the sweeping show by the Academy’s darling, Forrest Gump.
But life ever since has been very kind to this film, and both critics & viewers have embraced its uplifting story of hope & friendship with remarkable amount of respect, love & kindness. Today, The Shawshank Redemption enjoys a position that’s arguably even higher than the two classics which eclipsed it…
Hands down, The Shawshank Redemption is, unquestionably, the most overrated film in the entire history of motion pictures.
75/100
