Shawshank Redemption

Hope !

this is always an interesting subject to me.

a simple story. a topclass banker, locked up for killing his wife and her lover - life sentence in prison. what happens to him in prison over years and how he changes so many others' life - including the warden and captain is what the story is all about.

there is a saying "you may be fooled by what you see, what you hear - your conscience will tell the truth". hope is a inside out subject, you cannot use what the world around you says, you cannot believe what you see. hope will take you places you have never been - and it is the mother of all inventions and victories.

add involvement, perseverence and a sense of being to hope - you will get what you wanted. thats what the story says. how a prisoner sentenced for life comes back with colors.

the hero has perfectly merged with the character and it is good to see such a nice pick by the director. no wonder it is in the #2 of IMDB top 250.
