Synopsis
Fear can hold you prisoner. Hope can set you free.
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.

If you ever feel down,
If you ever feel like giving up,

If you ever feel hopeless,
If you ever feel like dying,

"Everybody in here's innocent, didn't you know that?"
Watched this for the first time in ages as the latest guest on Fangoria's THE KINGCAST.
I say as much on the podcast, but one thing I kept thinking this time around is how little the film's ideas about the inhumanity of prison have been adopted by the predominant white male college-aged demographic that made this movie the top film on IMDb. I fully believe the depiction of police in media heavily contributes to America's lionization of the police, and our wrongheaded belief that they're an organization of heroes that keep the darkness at bay– and yet we have a reverse dynamic with prisons (a near-unanimous media depiction of prison as an…

Review by gabriel ★★★★★ 6
Brooks was here.
There’s something truly devastating about that particular scene. The one where we find something that’s been completely lost, the soul of a man no longer recognizing his own body, his way of living. Hope no longer visible to the eye, the freedom that a cloistered human so long dreams of never materializes into anything that is of any true meaning to him due to the inability to adjust to new times, to a new life, after spending so many years living in a certain way. It’s heart shattering.
For all its hopeful and hopeless moments and the dialogue that makes us think about life and how we perceive it and other people as well, this is an incredibly touching and emotional piece of cinema, one I should've watched ages ago.

Review by Kat Moir ★★★★★ 7
One of the most impressive King adaptations, and I would say it contains the best performance every cast member has given to this day.
I love the way it expresses the need for friendship, bravery, freedom, and above all - hope. A powerful film that is clearly standing the test of time.
