Shawshank Redemption
Shawshank Redemption is one of the few movies that appeals and elevates you to another plane. This movie can at best be described as poignant with excellent performances by Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman. Though not successful upon initial release, it became popular as a cult movie and is now second on IMDB’’s greatest movies of all time list. The movie is about a man wrongly accused for the murder of his wife and sentenced for life. The hope he has of being free someday and the manner in which he achieves it is extraordinary. The attitude he expresses and the way he influences and inspires his fellow inmates is really wonderful. The supporting cast also have been developed and don”t merely serve as props to the protagonist. Among other movies that rely on special effects and exaggerated emotions to captivate the audience, Shawshank Redemption stands tall, depending entirely on the understated performances of the artistes and the taut screenplay. It is no wonder it is high on the list as one of the best movies of all time. The movie can be summarised in a single sentence, which is also the tag-line for the movie.
