I know this movie deserves a longer and in-depth review from everyone, but Ill make a short one. Pardon.
I love this movie. I haven't watched Prison Break yet, but the makers of that TV series might have also gotten their inspiration from this movie. I love how calm and positive the main character is. I love his outlook in life, I love how he didn't loose hope. He is like the humble unsung hero of Shawshank Redemption. All I can say is that this movie is so dramatic. Made me teary-eyed on some parts.
I love the scene about music. The scene when his student got killed. The ending too! And the fucking term "institutionalized" is freaking sad!!!!!!! We shouldn't be like that! THE WORLD IS BIG! And colorful!!!!
Director and Screenwriter is Frank Darabont. Inspired from the short story of Stephen King
I give this movie 5/5
