I think this is one of the BEST movies ever. I had to have seen it over 10 times and everytime i still get chills during the quotes at the end of the movie. Its just amazing.
i saw this movie over the weekend a couple times over, and i totally loved the story, cinmeatography, and characters. since stephen king has writing credit to this movie, is there a novelization version of this movie?
Yes 'The Shawshank Redemption' has to be one of my favorite movies. I have also studied it in English. And it's disappointing that it gets over-played on TV.
I have noticed the DVD is always a lot more expensive than other DVDs. Although the current DVD should go down in price as I think a new special edition DVD version is coming out soon.
I feel it's very overrated but still very good, i kind of perfer " The Green Mile" over Shawshank any time even though i wanna get the 2-Disc Shawshank DVD.
The movie wasn't suppose to be an academy award nominee OK, it's suppose to be a CULT movie ok like the Rocky Horror Picture Show, end of story.
SHAWSHANK is a great film...but why the makers couldn't leave the original Stephen King novella title RITA HAYWARD AND THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION smacks of underestimating the audience's IQ...
