The Shawshank Redemption

[glen]

I was talking to a friend of mine about what movie to go see, and we decided upon NARC.

Anyway, I mentioned Stephen King, and he replied that he couldn?t stand any of his movie.

I said, ?What? You did not like The Shawshank Redemption?!?

And he said, ?No. That piece of garbage was way too depressing.?

He had only seen the first little part of the movie on TV and turned it off.

I think I will show him this thread, so don?t put any spoilers in here, please.

One of my favorite movies of all time!

Shawshank is one of my favorite movies, one of teh best out there, its not depressing. it has a happy ending

 

[Leetman]

The Shawshank Redemption was a REALLY good movie in my opinion, definitely worth seeing.

 

[Bignate603]

I loved that movie. The ending just made me happy.

 

[Legendary]

Unbelievable movie. Absolutely amazing. Anyone who doesn't watch past the first few minutes and turns it off because it's "depressing doesn't deserve to watch it"
Or maybe that's not what you want to hear?
No seriously, go watch it.

 

[SUBxWRX]

that is my all-time favorite movie

 

[Parrotheader]

He's right in a way. It is a very dark story throghout much of it although it's definitely one of the best films in the last 10 years or so as far as universal appeal goes. You can sit down with somebody from almost any age group (except little children) and everyone in the room will enjoy it.

That's one of my favorites, never get tired of seeing it.

i've never seen prison rape before and thought i would catch a glimpse of it in this movie...sadly that guy got has a$$ kicked instead of getting a$$ fvcked

It's a great movie. Some people want to make mad love to it and though I don't want to do that at least a little fondling is in order. It's a fine movie and although much of it is depressing it takes a turn for the better at the end.

"Hope is a beautiful thing, and like all beautiful things can never truely die"

Just thinking of this makes me feel better when I am down

That's like saying that It's a Wonderful Life is too depressing.

Awesome movie. He should have given it a little longer for the story to get rolling.

 

[crab]

I love that movie.

WTF?

 

[Zugzwang152]

its my favorite non-action, performance driven movie you just cant beat it.

 

[Anubis]

the soundtrack is great also

 

[splice]

I would have to agree that The Shawshank Redemption is one of the best movies I've ever seen. I even believe the movie was better than the original book/story. FYI, it's 1 of 4 stories in the book Different Seasons. Other movies based on stories from this book are Stand By Me and Apt Pupil. I've never seen Apy Pupil but Stand By Me was good.

It has its ups and downs, but I think its a great movie. Tell your friend to live through the movie and he many gain a new impression of it.

WTF?

My thoughts exactly

 

[BatmanNate]

Very fulfilling movie. The Stand was also a good King flick.
