"The Shawshank Redemption"

     The movie starts with a married man catching his wife cheating on him. He is soon wrongly accused of

killing, both his wife and lover and put in jail to serve a back to back double life sentence. As the movie goes

on, this now convicted felon, makes his new life behind bars as good as he can make it. He becomes friends

with many inmates, and forms a little alliance within his fellow brothers of crime. This alliance, lives everyday

watching and looking out for each others backs. This is where the movie levels out. The audience is made to

believe the whole movie is going to be about this one mans struggle with all his new friends while serving his

life sentence. But as every scene keeps playing out, one begins to wonder...What is the real objective of this

wrongly convicted felon?

     Well, while the wrongly convicted felon was living his new life in jail, he was mysteriously planning out his

escape. Since the first day in his cell, he has been constructing his get away and escape. It is known by almost

everyone that jail is practically impossible to escape. But this movie defied any thoughts that a person had

before. The man had successfully escaped at the end of the movie from hand carving a tunnel for his get away.

It took the man ten years to construct the tunnel secretly and safely. But as you see the character get away

without a scratch, you, as the audience, cant help but feel so good for the guy. He lived almost 15 years

behind bars because of a crime that he had not committed. If i could rate this movie from one to ten it would definitely come in at a ten. A MUST SEE!

     "The Shawshank Redemption" had many famous actors including, Tim Robbins, Morgan Freeman, Bob Gunton and many more!
