Shawshank Redemption

New movies are released and make a hit. Some movies don't make an impact at all. Each movie has its ups and downs, but every movie is unique in its own way. But there are movies that are remembered forever as classics. Last Tuesday, I sat in my room and watched one of the best movies ever created. Shawshank Redemption is rated number one on imbd.com Top 250. As you watch the movie, you begin to develop sympathy towards Tim Robbins, who plays the role of Andy Dufresne. In the movie, Andy gets charged with murder without even committing a crime. What I really liked in the movie was that he took his jail time and was going to get revenge on the system. Not by murdering anyone, but buy tunneling out of jail.

There are way more strengths in the movie than there are weakness. One of the best strengths of the movie is the friendships that are made. Andy would have never of made it through if it wasn't for Red, played by Morgan Freeman. Red and Andy became best friends during the movie and both get out of jail with the help of others. But there are some weaknesses. One is that the characters never increase in age even though time has passed. That really gets on my nerves when this happens in movies.

Overll, I believe that Shawshank Redemption is the best movies out there. Everyone atleast needs to see this movie once. But i gaurentee you that if you watch it, you will watch it more than once.
