SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION MOVIE REVIEW
The Shawshank redemption creates a warm hold in our hearts. The hero of the film is the convicted. Andy Dufrense (Tim Robbins) is the convicted banker. The opening scene of the movie is him getting two life sentences for the murder of his wife/lover. In jail he meets a friend named "Red" (Morgan Freeman).  My favorite line from Red is "get busy living or get busy dyin'." I love this line because it means you gotta move on in your life no matter what the circumstance is. I think the main reason behind the film is relationship with others. Andy would always be getting beating up but he would always have there back. In the one scene when they are taring the roof Andy makes a compromise with the officers that if they get it done in a certain amount of time they officers owe him and the workers beer. He reminds me of Jesus because he always put others before himself. I believe that Morgan and Tim played great roles in this movie. They worked very well together. I loved the shot where Andy was dropping the pebbles from the whole he was digging for his escape route. I loved how the camera zoomed in and followed him. I loved the music Andy was playing to all the inmates. It was Italian music. It was beautiful because the inmates have not heard music in a while so they all stopped to enjoy the music. I would rate this movie 9.5/10. It is a great movie and you should definitively watch it.

  1. I can tell you enjoyed the movie, and you pointed out a few of the production values in the film. But you definitely need to proofread before you publish, Jevan!
