  The Shawshank Redemption 1994

  Watched 29 Sep 2024

  This is not the first time I’ve watched The Shawshank Redemption, and with another viewing it’s pretty much solidified how I feel about it, The Shawshank Redemption is a fine movie. Yes, I understand that it is ranked #1 on IMDb’s Top 250 Movies list, and that the characters are likable, and that the themes of hope and perseverance resonate with audiences, and that it’s inspirational and life-changing, etc. That’s all great, and I’m glad this movie means so much to so many people, I’m just not one of them.
