My Review-
I have never seen this movie until today. but i always kept hearing that i would love the film, since i was so into movies, and i thank those who would always recommend it. Morgan Freeman has always been a good actor from the movies that i have seen with him, but to me this may be his best film i have ever seen. All the actors did a wonderful job in the film, from Clancy Brown as the chief prison guard; who it is still hard to believe is the voice of Mr, Krabs on Spongebob, then seeing him in this film as corrupt harden prison guard who uses his job title to deliver beatings to keep the other inmates in-check. I could actually see why in once scene they reference "The Count of Monte Cristo" since in away they are quite similar. i actually do not know why it took me this long to watch the movie, i was into the whole movie the whole 2 hours, and even Morgan Freeman doing the narration for the film was the icing on top. I could see why it is on so many top lists for AFI, i really enjoyed this movie as invested into each character that was on screen that was at that the prison, they made us want to like each of the characters and that happened or to hate the ones that needed to be disliked. In away we were rooting for the bad guy in this film to leave 'Shawshank Prison' just because the warden and the guards did not care about the inmates. I am glad i bought this movie and will continue to enjoy it as i re-watch it in the near future.
