This movie had Academy Award Oscar written all over it...in every category! It's a crying shame this movie did not win one Oscar,...not one. Unbelievable...simply unbelievable
This movie is one of the few movies ever made that was...perfect...perfect in every way
I will never ever forgive the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for this travesty...this injustice...this horrible failure to not proclaim this movie as Best Picture in 1994
@ suriyaprakasam - No doubts, it's a classic ! ( I have watched it around 15 times over 2 years - ready for more )
I'm from India too, Bangalore - Do understand Tamil as well.
BUT ..... Nothing can replace the original dialogues in English - I strongly feel the narration has added to the core of this classic ! My suggestion watch the English version - You'll love it more !

The Shawshank Redemption is film-making at it's finest. Inspiring, moving and highly entertaining. Robbins and Freeman are brilliant (as are the rest of the cast). In my opinion, the greatest movie ever made. It's often ranked no. 1 in polls for good reason. If you haven't seen it, you are truly depriving yourself of a deeply human, emotional experience.
Top 1 film, but the videos on youtube just can't reach 1 million, whereas new film trailers have 1m+ views. I just guess everyone seen the fim and just don't youtube search it :S
Anyway, amazing film. After watching family guy version of this i want to see the film again.
I cant agree with you more! The ending is so moving.
HOPE is the most beautiful thing. If Andy hadnt asked Red to do him a favor to look for the box under the tree, Red would have ended up killing himself just like Brooks did. Thanks Andy!
"get busy living or get busy dying" a great quote worthy of a phenomenal movie. I can't believe some of the critics Ive seen rate it only gave it 3 stars. 4 star movie easily.
a classic which is worth more than gold , i can't describe how shattering and mind blowing this movie was. As you might know the stuff that can be called perfection , always lies beneath the popular and famed rubbish...
It's truly one of the greatest films ever made.Tim Robbins was robbed of an Oscar nomination and the movie should have won Best Picture.It's an inspirational tale that became an instant classic.
Excellent film. If you saw it, I would like to hear your opinion on it at my blog, and yes, IT IS related to the movie, not spamming: acerotime.blogspot.com
two life sentences back to back?? lol. one is already enough to guarrantee the inmate will live the rest of his life in prison. this movie is STILL AMAZING regardless.
You have to face a Holy God on Judgment Day(Hebrews 9:27). He counts lust as adultery(Matthew 5:28) and hatred as murder(1 John 3:15). All liars will have their part in the Lake of Fire(Revelation 21:8). No thief will inherit the kingdom of God(1 Corinthians 6:9-11). Jesus Christ is the only way to be saved(John 14:6). YOU MUST REPENT OF YOUR SINS AND SUBMIT TO THE LORDSHIP OF JESUS CHRIST TO BE SAVED! THERE'S NO OTHER WAY! There's no second chance after death, so repent NOW! Proverbs 29:1
The Shawshank Redemption is one of my favorite prison movies (along with Escape from Sobibor and Lock Up) - unique storyline, fantastic acting, brilliant ending. Tim Robbins was special but I loved all the actors
Are you fucking serious? It's like 5 euro's on dvd, maybe 15 on Blu-ray. Probably less, Finland's actually even more expensive than most of the countries.
this movie was great! i loved how all of it built up, and they fucked the crooked warden over and the murderous guards. i dont think it couldve been better than that
Are you out of your mind?! This is a grat film, but Fight Club explores so many deep aspects of human nature, and is techinally grat. Foth films are excellent, but Fight Club is much better.
@MiKKA335 Although Shawshank Redemption is one of my favourite movies of all times, I hate to see people talking shit about Fight Club. Both are great movies, well worth seeing.
Few movies allow you to grow such an emotional attachment to a character(s) like Shawshank Redemption does. Brooks, I swear that old man was is my own Grandfather when I watch it. The scene where he Brooks takes his life is truly painful for me to watch, I feels chills as I write this.
well in some countries, a life time sentence is 10 years or 20, in others its till u die. in the movie its 10 years, so 2x life in this movie was 20 years
its sarcasm, for killing two people. basically its a life sentence. it is not 20 years like grimthang said in the movie, its clear in the film he is sentenced to prison for life
LOVE this movie. It always brings a tear to my eye and a lump in my throat. Im such a wimp.
