falling in love with "the shawshank redemption"



Today I was at my cousin’s place and was watching TV. Suddenly while scanning the channels I found the Movie The shawshank Redemption being telecasted on UTV movies. I watched this movie before also in NSIT and I liked it a lot. So, I again started to watch it.
I really enjoyed the movie and I can surely say that I love this movie. I will say that this is one of the brilliant works. I didn’t see any movie from director Frank Darabont before. The movie was not a big hit, though I still don’t know why, but it received favourable reviews from critics. I would say that the movie is not about a prisoner. But it is about two great friends-Andy and Red.
There are certain instances where I really enjoyed the dialogues and scenes too. Like when Red initially says that Hope is a dangerous thing. It can make a man insane. And then later in the end of the movie, Andy tells him that Hope is a good thing. May be the best of all things and good things don’t die. I really love these dialogues by Andy. And also when after Andy’s escape from the prison, Red says that some birds are not meant to be caged because their feathers are too bright to fly.
The music throughout the movie is slow and soft and it directly penetrates inside you and makes you numb. I loved its music too. How often when you start your new life you invite your old accomplice or your friend to be a part of your new life? This thing has been shown here and it really creates a great feeling of a relationship called FRIENDSHIP.
