Red is an institutional man. His only reality is what is contained within the walls of Shawshank. Andy Dufresne begins planning his life beyond from his first day in the prison. While this movie contains many of the things a typical prison movie does (definitely not for the kids) it is actually one of the most profound cinematic expressions of freedom ever filmed. That is why it is the highest rated film of all time on IMDB. One of the greatest films of all time on almost everybody’s list.
