    The emotion that was put into it, was something really truthful and real. Even when there are moments where you predict what is going to happen next, its subtleness and immense depth affects you anyway. Since the very first moment, we are attached to it and not many films do that with the audience. Such a simple story but with such content.

    Frank Darabont direction was amazing! The film has over two hours and you never get bored, you are driven by the emotion of the events and the great cinematography makes you feel the terrifying life in prison.

    The performances from all the cast are something great to see but Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins are the ones who gave absolutely phenomenal performances. The performances of a lifetime.

    I can see why many people love this film. They love it because is power makes it unforgettable. Now I love it too, and I will always remember it.
    This really is one one the biggest Masterpieces in Cinema.

    An absolutely beautiful story about hope and friendship.
