One of my picks for best movie in the last few decades, if not history of cinema. The acting from both primary and supporting actors is fantastic--most especially Morgan Freeman, whose voice carries weight and beauty as he narrates the scenes inside Shawshank. It does an excellent job of showing the misery of prison while at the same time giving scenes here and there a comedic touch--scenes that might not have been funny outside of a such a movie, but which resonate well here. The last forty or so minutes, in my opinion, are some of the best ever captured on film--from the plot to the acting to the score, the feeling it gives to the audience that suffered along with Andy and Red is incredible. Uniquely and ultimately satisfying, and a movie I could (and have) watched over and over. 5.5/5; best drama I've ever seen.
