REVIEW :
One of the finest films made in recent years. It's a poignant story about hope. Hope gets me. That's what makes a film like this more than a movie. It tells a lesson about life. Those are the films people talk about 50 or even 100 years from you. It's also a story for freedom. Freedom from isolation, from rule, from bigotry and hate. Freeman and Robbins are majestic in their performances. Each learns from the other. Their relationship is strong and you feel that from the first moment they make contact with one another. There is also a wonderful performance from legend James Whitmore as Brooks.It shows how a man can not live without 'HOPE' while got served lifetime in US's deadliest prison. Like all othpersonal fier movies this movie shows the same things in prison as interpersonal fights. Gay rapes attempts and brutal violance ,dominance of ill hearted prison guards and an ODD but NECESSARY personal bonding between both lead characters played by two great actors.
He shines when it is his time to go back into the world, only to find that the world grew up so fast he never even got a chance to blink. Stephen King's story is brought to the screen with great elegance and excitement. It is an extraordinary motion that people "will" be talking about in 50 or 100 years.
