Nyckeln till frihet
Nå, filmen handlar om en ung, skicklig bankman. Hans fru visar sig vara otrogen med ett tennisproffs och oturligt nog blir frun och älskaren mördade. Bankmannen kan inte bevisa sin oskuld och blir dömd till två livstidsdomar att avtjänas efter varandra. Därefter hamnar han i ett fängelse och få lära sig att leva efter reglerna som skapats där inne. Man får följa honom i många år och se vilken vänskap som kan skapas innanför murarna.
Mer än så vågar jag inte skriva, vill inte förstöra för de som inte sett den. Mycket välspelad och välgjord film. Morgan Freeman, som är en riktigt duktig skådespelare, medverkar och gör en bra insats som vanligt. Tim Robbins kände jag inte till sedan innan men han gör rollen mycket bra. Filmen är 2 timmar och 17 minuter lång.
Tagline: Fear can hold you prisoner. Hope can set you free.

"Tied for the best movie I have ever seen, 26 November 2003
Why do I want to write the 234th comment on The Shawshank Redemption? I am not sure - almost everything that could be possibly said about it has been said. But like so many other people who wrote comments, I was and am profoundly moved by this simple and eloquent depiction of hope and friendship and redemption.
The only other movie I have ever seen that effects me as strongly is To Kill a Mockingbird. Both movies leave me feeling cleaner for having watched them.
I didn't intend to see this movie at all: I do not like prison movies and I don't normally watch them. I work at a branch library and one day as I was checking The Shawshank Redemption out to one of our older patrons, she said to me, "Whenever I feel down or depressed, I check out this movie and watch it and it always makes me feel better." At the time, I thought that was very strange. One day there was nothing on TV except things I absolutely would not watch under any circumstance or things that I had seen too many times already. I remembered what she said, so I watched it. I have watched it many many times since then and it gets better with every showing.
No action, no special effects - just men in prison uniforms talking to each other.
The Shawshank Redemption and To Kill a Mockingbird) are the best movies I have ever seen. I do not judge it by it's technical merits - I don't really care about that. I have read that Citizen Kane or The Godfather or this or that movie is the best movie ever made. They may have the best technique or be the most influential motion pictures ever made, but not the best. The best movies are ones that touch the soul. It takes a movie like The Shawshank Redemption to touch the soul."
Det där är absolut världens bästa film...den är riktigt fantastiskt..man borde ju se den igen...
