The movies that were called the dark horse of the industry were unexpected and impressive movies that will stick in your mind for a long time. A drama film called Shawshank Redemption is the story of a banker, Andy Dufresne, who was caught up in the murder of his wife and her adultery then. Their story is about the rest of his life in the Shawshank prison, the friendship, and the pain of reality. One of the most interesting parts of this movie is that it is told from a third-person point of view, which gives a new perspective by using an indirect approach. It depicts a lot of inequity in prison life, but the focus point in this movie is hope. The hope that could rarely be found in a place that was called "hopeless," such as prison, is the reason why the movie wants to show freedom in ways that people could never have imagined that people in prison would still have hope. This is not the normal prison film that audiences expect about jailbreak, but this movie leads to a different feeling. It's gained emotion through the situation that the characters have been through, and even more emotion is gained by the impressive ending. The movie always showed you some phases that demonstrated the truth of being human; that will definitely hit you. You will be able to relate a scenario, a character, or a situation in this simple movie to something deeply personal in your own life after experiencing it. This kind of movie is great to keep watching more than once because your thoughts and perspective on it will change as you grow up.
Shawshank Redemption could of course be called an encouraging film, and that is also the aim of the director, but in my understanding, this film is bittersweet and more bitter than sweet. Because the character's pain is shown a lot in this film, the key is how he deals with the situation and how it would be if there were a condition in the situation. But what is beautiful is the strong relationships that exist in this place, and you will feel that while watching it. Along with great performances from actors like Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins, it was one of the best. But there are also live support acts that are absolutely brilliant and impressive. Although most of the scenes of the film take place in a tense place.
I would recommend this movie for the two and a half hours that it is worth for people who want to experience a simple but golden movie story like The Shawshank Redemption. You will even more clearly understand why this movie is the highest rated on IMDB. However, I recommended this movie to older teenage audiences because some of the content in the movie is violent, and the context of that content will become clearer to this generation or older. Finally, The Shawshank Redemption offers you a variety of experiences that will definitely give you brilliant pleasure.
