The Shawshank Redemption

"The Shawshank Redemption", New/#72, 1994
This was an amazing movie!! I really, really liked it. This is a movie that was added to the anniversary list, and I fully support that. The movie takes place in Shawshank prison and focuses on a few of the prisoners that are serving long sentances. Morgan Freeman's character, Red, narrates the movie, and it is mostly about Tim Robbins' character, Andy. They are both serving life sentances for murder. I don't want to give away too much of the movie because I highly suggest watching it. This movie is a really good balance of drama, some humor, low points, high points, and things like that. So, this is another movie that I actually want to watch again, and would kind of consider buying. You should definitely watch it.

Update: Three days later I was shopping at Walmart, and I checked out the $5 movie section as I usually do (I mean, $5 movies, that's awesome), and Shawshank Redemption was there. I bought it. So, you can totally borrow it from me. :)
