MY REVIEW OF SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION

The first thing I would say about Shawshank Redemption is that it was an extremely well written screenplay. The story itself was well thought out and contained a lot of good twists but the overall emotion of the film was even better. The story had a dreary setting which added alot to the perspective of that certain jail. The main character was also very easy to like and admire as he formed a friendship with almost everyone in the jail besides the warden. He was also probably the best person to film in a prison life setting because he is so smart and friendly that it is so hard to watch him struggle even though he didn't even commit the crime in the first place. Morgan Freemen was a very good supporting actor in this film and also added a lot to the drama of the movie especially at the end which is the best part.
