Finally watched the shawshank redemption after months
so I've always been that guy who just never watches movie.
I've seen a few (star wars, harry potter, interstellar, and the Truman show) so I decided to sit down and watch the masterpieces everyone always talks about.
The first on my watchlist was- The Shawshank Redemption.
I went in completely blind. It was a prison story, a kind which I hadn't actually tried before. The story started simple but the characters clicked with me instantly.
I liked most of them.
The movie is slow, but in a good way. It doesn't rush important moments. The characters feel real, especially the friendship between Andy and Red. That's honestly the best part of the movie for me.
The moving didn't have flashy actions scenes and stuff but it still touched me, the ending was amazing and I stared at the end credits for a solid minute or two after it ended.
So for me it would be an easy 10/10
