Normally I would give a post about my thoughts on the movie “The Shawshank Redemption” but first I present you with gifs of my reactions as the movie progressed:

I think these pretty much sum up how this movie moved my emotions from one end of the spectrum to the other. This movie really tugged at the tear ducts and had you rooting for the good guy.
The cast was outstanding and I think they did a great job giving each character their own role. I am personally a fan of giving even the smallest character a great background story. I know the movie “The Green Mile” does this as well. Tim Robbins is the main character, Andy, and although it’s a rather dry role, Robbins does fairly well with it. Morgan Freeman obviously steals the show and that’s no surprise. To see some gifs of Freeman, look here.
I love a good crime movie. This one focused a lot more on the justice aspect which was kind of a new take at the time. There were moments where all you wanted was for Andy to be happy and then it just gets ripped away over and over.
The ending was perfect and I really enjoyed it (see my last gif). Let’s just say, justice was served.

Two words: SHAWHANK REDMEPTION! 
Where do I start with this movie, well I love it! I wou
ld say this classic from 1994 is crowd pleaser. The cast was amazing and they portrayed their characters so well. Shawshank Redemption is about an innocent man who gets sent to jail (Shawshank) for the murder of his wife and her lover.
The story takes place in Shawshank and you meet some of the other inmates as they journey along in their life in prison. This movie is about hope and friendship to me. I believe that you can watch this movie and have a couple laughs with some of the one liners and it can also be a tear jerker. Andy (Tim Robbins) is the main character and he makes the best of his time there at Shawshank. Whether he is in the infirmary or doing taxes he is using his time wisely. He makes friends with Red (Morgan Freeman) and they build a bond that will last a lifetime.
I would recommend this movie to everyone. I think it makes you appreciate life and everything that comes along with it. I also love a story that gives me hope! I give this classic 9 out of 10. So if you are looking for a great flick to watch check Shawshank Redemption out.

Shawshank Redemption was nominated for this weeks’ movie and man, was it a great one! I really enjoyed this 1994 classic starring Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman. Anything with Morgan Freeman in it just sets up for a great movie. There isn’t one movie I can recall that I did not enjoy of his.
The story takes place in the mid-1940s in a town in Ohio. Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins), a successful banker, is convicted of murdering his wife and her lover. Despite his maintained innocence he was sentenced to two consecutive life sentences based on circumstantial evidence. When Andy gets into the prison, he immediately becomes friends with the “man who gets things” Ellis “Red” Redding (Morgan Freeman). At first not everyone likes him, but he quickly becomes known as the “educated man” that everyone confides in. During one of the offsite work details, he overhears Captain Hadley (Clancy Brown) have many issues so Andy persuades him to be his lawyer. He eventually ends up doing the staff’s taxes as well as the Warden Norton’s (Bob Gunton) and also becomes basically the accountant for the prison. When a young guy comes into the prison Andy also teaches him how to read helping him pass with a C + average from the Board of Education’s exam. During a roll call, Norton discovers Andy missing from his cell and finds a tunnel where he escaped. Once Red receives his parole he once again reunites with Andy in Zihuatanejo, Mexico.
I had never heard of this movie before this weekend. I know it is shocking but true. Each actor portrayed their character really well. Surprisingly enough, this movie did not when any Oscars but they were up for a few awards including Best Actor. Morgan Freeman was also the narrator for the movie. I give this movie a rating of 10/10! It was a fantastic movie that I would recommend to anyone. The length of the movie is longer than average but definitely worth it.
