SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION


It was rated as the “second best” movie ever made in the history of world cinema by IMDB (International Movie Data Base). It got 9.1/10 pts and more than one lakh people voted in favour of it. Since it was released along with “FORREST GUMP” and “PULP FICTION” (super hits of 1994), commercially this movie got the beating! Won more accolade around the globe, but lost in the Oscar race….

Shawshank redemption is a well-scripted movie, beautifully narrated and had impeccable actors (Morgan freeman and Tim robins). Well, am not going to write a review about this movie, but feeling for the fate of “pure cinema”. Commercially hit movies make compromises, shows fictional content and plot seems to be damp in nature, but we love it, enjoy it and praise it (I mean most…). Though good movies rarely show fictional content, but still it makes sense, some kindaa impact in us ( I mean few…) Pure movies need to be encouraged world wide, unless it happens the quantity of good cinema would be an history!

Watch out this movie if ur a lover of pure cinema!

  • Seriously, may God hail Stephen King for writin' such an epic[Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption],on which the movie was based.Tim Robbins n Morgan Freeman were at their best.. An awe-inspiring flick.Watch out folks,it could be the turning point of your life.It certainly was mine..
