The Shawshank Redemption 1994

Absolutely masterful adaptation of Stephen King's novella. I've been in love with its use of symbolism and irony since I first watched it. The themes of Christ, redemption, friendship, hope, freedom, and the id are spellbinding and will move you from start to finish. The human condition is revealed in grotesque, magnificent, and unexpected ways that leave you inspired and reflective. No scene is misplaced or superfluous. No character is left underdeveloped. Excellent performances from Robbins and Freeman. How it didn't get 100% is beyond me. "get busy living, or get busy dying." Watch this movie and get living.
