This week’s pick makes me angry because I haven’t thought to write about it yet…
The Shawshank Redemption
From a screenwriting perspective, it’s one of my favorites. It’s such an incredible story and the writing is truly tremendous.
From a Sunday perspective, it’s simply a perfect movie to enjoy on a lazy afternoon especially when it’s raining outside. These types of slow building dramas are always a good choice on days when you just want to relax.
The Shawshank Redemption, for those who haven’t seen it, is about an innocent man serving 2 life sentences in prison. It almost seems criminal to describe it in such a general way. The movie is so much more than a prison drama.
This is one of my favorite examples of how important characters are to a story. Andy and Red are among the best in terms of fully developped and interesting characters. You’ll have to excuse me for using ‘writery’ terms but I really geek out about this movie.
There are two things you should take from this post.
- I’m a nerd…. Shocking…
- The Shawshank Redemption is an amazing movie.
