I get chills every time I watch this film and this film contains the greatest ending (which takes place over the last 30 minutes or so)in movie history! How it all just "comes together" is so incredible and uplifting. This movie is sad, uplifting, inspiring, harsh, cold, funny (at the right times), jaw-dropping, and heart-warming all at the same time. Every moment of this movie captivated me and inspired me to believe in the one true thing in life. I turned my head towards my friend Bob and said "That was the greatest movie I have ever seen in my entire life!" There's really no other way I can put it in words. When the final credits rolled and the lights came on in the theater, all of us just sat there with our jaws hanging down on the floor. So, not having any real expectations, we saw it. None of us really knew anything about the movie, but we had heard that it was pretty good. Some friends of mine and I went to see it at one of those "Budget Theaters" over the summer of 1995. In fact the main reason that me and my friends don't refer to it by title is because this movie is so great, that we do not feel worthy enough to say it's name in vain! I still remember the first time I saw The Shawshank Redemption. When I say "The Movie", my friends know exactly what I'm talking about. Whenever I talk about this movie with my friends, I do not even refer to it by title, but rather as "The Movie".
