The beer break on the roof, the opera played over the PA, and finally the broken boat on the shores of the Pacific: each of these moments is engineered by Andy to get a taste, a glimpse of freedom. Things that he had taken for granted before Shawshank. That scene where the men drink the beer on the roof looks like the tastiest beer I could ever imagine, almost completely because of the dark tone of the film up until that point.Īnyway.
Shawshank sounds like youve done time all over new england movie#
It is simply a good accessible movie that does not provoke, shock, question nor insult the viewers. There is nothing daring nor edgy about it, an easy to follow linear progressive plot that builds up nicely and end with a little minor twist that do not upset the predictable premise, likeable protagonist that you could easily vouch for, an obvious antagonist, an unlikely friendship, throw in some manipulative macgyverism and prison escape scheme. I wouldn't call it one of the greatest film ever and definitely not a bad one at all. It is simply an all rounder that is very well polished to withstand the test of time. The formula and ingredients used is just perfect. You are correct about the script, directing, cinematography, and even soundtrack none of which stands out or considered special. However, it is the combination of it all that gives it a great mixture. I guess it is the simplicity, honesty and beautiful storytelling that makes it a memorable and enjoyable film.īecause it's entertaining to a very wide audience and tells a story that is not too cliche'. It's one of the few movies that plays out nearly as well as the book itself. There isn't anything much deeper to the film that that, it's just a well told story that elicits emotions from most of the people who watch it. People leave the film feeling good and that makes them love it. It's not the masterpiece that The Godfather is but it plays to a larger crowd while still retaining the respect of a more sophisticated movie crowd. #SHAWSHANK SOUNDS LIKE YOUVE DONE TIME ALL OVER NEW ENGLAND MOVIE#
