The Shawshank Redemtion is one of my alltime favorite movies. I think the acting by some of the main characters is phenomonal. Some of my favorites are Tim Robbins (Andy Dufresne), Morgan Freeman (Red), Clancy Brown (Captain Hadley), and James Whitmore (Brooks). I really enjoy how the story line goes into so much depth about how corrupt the prison is. Even though Andy Dufresne has been covicted for committing double murder, he knows he is innocent and throughout the movie you realize that he is indeed innocent. What i really like about this film is that it not only focuses on Andy, but on so many other things at the same time that end up relating to his escape. My favorite part of this movie in no doubt the ending when you realize how the rock hammer, posters, and him helping the warden all relate to him escaping in the end. I think that it is really cool how Stephen King started this story as an 80-page short story but when made into a movie, it is two and a half hours long. The movie provides so much detail and i feel that most of the time the books show more detail than the movies. The Shawshank Redemption is an amazing movie.
