Är det här världens bästa film (som den ju är enligt IMDb). Det är kanske bäst att se den igen, för att ta reda på det...

Overview

Imprisoned in the 1940s for the double murder of his wife and her lover, upstanding banker Andy Dufresne begins a new life at the Shawshank prison, where he puts his accounting skills to work for an amoral warden. During his long stretch in prison, Dufresne comes to be admired by the other inmates -- including an older prisoner named Red -- for his integrity and unquenchable sense of hope.

It is a strange comment to make about a film set inside a prison, but "The Shawshank Redemption" creates a warm hold on our feelings.

"The Shawshank Redemption" is not a depressing story, although I may have made it sound that way. There is a lot of life and humor in it, and warmth in the friendship that builds up between Andy and Red.

While the story roils with some rousing prison-type action...The Shawshank Redemption is really about the unlikely friendship between Andy and Red.

A testament to the human spirit, the film is a rough diamond. Its languors are small quibbles in an otherwise estimable and haunting entertainment.

What makes this film one of the best ever made is the message it conveys. It is one of eternal hope.

Rotten Tomatoes

If this is a feel-good movie -- and by the end it certainly is -- then at least it challenges us to dig deep for those good feelings.

When the final credits rolled...I turned my head towards my friend Bob and said 'That was the greatest movie I have ever seen in my entire life!'
