No other film can make you feel both imprisoned and liberated like The Shawshank Redemption. In my opinion, it’s the greatest film of all time, bar none.
I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve watched it, yet I could watch it over and over without ever getting bored.
The story is first-class, the acting flawless, and the casting pitch-perfect — not just Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins, but every supporting character, too. It’s absolute cinematic perfection.
But even masterpieces aren’t immune to human error….
A friend recently suggested I rewatch The Shawshank Redemption, and at first, I wasn’t so sure. It had been nearly 15 years since I last saw it, and I wondered if it would still hold up.
