in the early months of the last half of 1994 i went to see the shawshank redemption. being a big stephen king fan i was stoked, although a) it wan't horror (my fav) and b) i had never read the source material. it was playing earlier than it's wide release and i lined up for about an hour and half to get good seats at a premiere (for it's time) theatre. i didn't expect to be floored, blown away, flabbergasted by the film but that's exactly what i got. shawshank is near perfection. it's by far one of the greatest films of its year, if not decade. it tells the story of a wrongfully commited man... read more

there are a few movies that i had to watch, my list of shame coming with me on every new site for years. i finally watched citizen kane yesterday, and i finally watched shawshank today. there is no arguing citizen kane; it's actual cannon, like the cannon of literature taught in school and, just like that, it's old and forever a landmark, grandfathered as the best movie ever, forever. it was amazing. shawshank is the perpetual number 1 in imdb's rankings. it was great. as i watched it, i thought "this is actually great. it really is. oh wow." and then it was over - good ending, wow. it might... read more

the first hour of the movie is perfect, i feel. it establishes how things are inside shawshank prison, also does everything else it needs like setting up the characters to move on to the main story. now, this is where the drama starts, also where some pacing issues come into being. this movie has lots of good vibes, i think, that's the reason lots of people can connect with a movie like this. but the drama isn't anything particularly special, and some times it feels a tad too much dragged on. but with a movie that's trying to give you a good message and has some great characters, it's almost... read more

hope is a fun thing. you can have it for almost anything, whether it's something trivial like a crush on a person, or something as heavy as being stuck in prison when you know you're innocent. but at the end of the day, it's the same thing, and while not all of the things you expect will pass, having hope won't let you stop and give up, and maybe you'll find something even better in your life, it depends on the context. but, if you stop expecting things to get better, nothing is going to make you go anymore, and with that, there is nothing that will stop you from disappearing. the film knows... read more

I watched this doubting that it deserves to be #1 on IMDB's top 250 list, but after watching this, I knew it deserves this spot. I wouldn't consider this the greatest movie ever, but it sure is close. read more

elinkautista lusivalla heebolla on vankilapako mielessä. lämminhenkinen ja emotionaalinen tarina miestenvälisestä ystävyydestä, muttei silleen homolla tavalla. elämänarvojen pohdiskelua, henkisen kestävyyden mittailua. read more
