The Shawshank Redemption
One of the finest
films made in recent years. It's a poignant story about hope. Hope gets
me. That's what makes a film like this more than a movie. It tells a
lesson about life. Those are the films people talk about 50 or even 100
years from you. It's also a story for freedom. Freedom from isolation,
from rule, from bigotry and hate. Freeman and Robbins are majestic in
their performances. Each learns from the other. Their relationship is
strong and you feel that from the first moment they make contact with
one another. There is also a wonderful performance from legend James
Whitmore as Brooks.
He shines when it is his time to go back into the world, only to find that the world grew up so fast he never even got a chance to blink. Stephen King's story is brought to the screen with great elegance and excitement. It is an extraordinary motion that people "will" be talking about in 50 or 100 years.
