Like someone said, 'If you don't like Shawshank, you are beyond redemption', the movie is the best one ever made. Tim Robbins as Andy Dufresne and Morgan Freeman as Red, this movie is about friendship, hope and prison break. Andy, a banker is sentenced to life imprisonment after the false accusation where he meets Red and everyone. But being falsely accused himself, he also finds about the stories of others not different than his. With time, he brings some changes in the prison and manages to work for the guards and the warden as an accountant. Andy becomes an unconventional prisoner in a cruel prison.
Freeman's narration in the movie is up top. It's pleasing and touchy to watch the greatest screenplay with such soothing narration. The side characters in the movie are no less. Brooks, played by James Witmore, is something exceptional. Overall, The Shawshank Redemption is the best they could ever make.
