Movie Reviews of The Shawshank Redemption (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Movie Review: Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
This film deserves a place in every home library. Shawshank Redemption (1994) was shot as a period piece, so it has never aged. The prison break story is timeless, and the theme of friendship will always appeal to audiences.
The script, direction, and acting is great. The entire cast is good, but Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman make their characters so appealing that you can't help but root for them. Freeman can communicate more in a single facial expression than most actors can in a soliloquy.
Summary of The Shawshank Redemption (Two-Disc Special Edition)
When a timid banker is convicted of murdering his wife and her lover hes sent to shawshank prison. The convicts bet he wont last the first night. He befriends the convicts leader red and turns hope and friendship into an uplifting bond no prison can destroy. Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 04/05/2005 Starring: Tim Robbins Morgan Freeman Run time: 142 minutes Rating: RWhen this popular prison drama was released in 1994, some critics complained that the movie was too long (142?minutes) to sustain its story. Those complaints miss the point, because the passage of time is crucial to this story about patience, the squeaky wheels of justice, and the growth of a life-long friendship. Only when the film reaches its final, emotionally satisfying scene do you fully understand why writer-director Frank Darabont (adapting a novella by Stephen King) allows the story to unfold at its necessary pace, and the effect is dramatically rewarding. Tim Robbins plays a banker named Andy who's sent to Shawshank Prison on a murder charge, but as he gets to know a life-term prisoner named Red (Morgan Freeman), we realize there's reason to believe the banker's crime was justifiable. We also realize that Andy's calm, quiet exterior hides a great reserve of patience and fortitude, and Red comes to admire this mild-mannered man who first struck him as weak and unfit for prison life. So it is that The Shawshank Redemption builds considerable impact as a prison drama that defies the conventions of the genre (violence, brutality, riots) to illustrate its theme of faith, friendship, and survival. Nominated for seven Academy Awards including Best Picture, Actor, and Screenplay, it's a remarkable film that signaled the arrival of a promising new filmmaker--a film that many movie lovers count among their all-time favorites. --Jeff Shannon
