From back then until now, my favourite movie has been and always will be (until a better one comes along) "The Shawshank Redemption". The story is about a man named Andy who was prosecuted based on false charges and ended up in Shawshank Prison. There, he met a man, Red, who dealt in illegal trades in prison and was the man he would later confide in and become friends. Throughout the movie, various scenes are shown whereby abuse of power and illicit steps were taken in order to acquire fame and fortune. When one of Andy's cell mates was assassinated, he figured that he had been in prison for about long enough and absconded to freedom. In the end, he revealed all of the warden's misdeeds and the corruptions in Shawshank. Not long after, Red's parole went through and he was reunited with Andy to begin a new chapter of their life.
This movie is very heartwarming and it totally appeals to me. The movie has given me hope that not all bad things are a curse, they might as well be a blessing in disguise. The movie also taught me a very important lesson and that is to hold true to our beliefs and never waver until the very end. Andy firmly believed that he was innocent and carried out his role as a just and civilized man. In the end, his efforts were rewarded and eventually became the deciding factor in his escape. Overall, I would recommend this movie to anyone regardless of age. My rating: 9.5/10.
