The world of cinema creates magic in one’s
life and makes one’s inner soul cheerful. There are times when a film didn’t do
well on the Box Office but is really a must watch. I want to introduce you with
all these superbly crafted films that are having their own beauty and also a
must watch tag:
The Shawshank Redemption is an American drama
film directed by Frank Darabont. The star cast of the film includes Tim Robbins
and Morgan Freeman in lead roles. The film is loosely based on Stephen King’s
novella Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption. The story of the film portrays
Andy Dufrense, a banker by profession who is given life sentence in Shawshank
State Prison for killing his wife and her lover, although he claimed for
innocence.

Further, the beauty of the character Dufrense
serving a life sentence, with no hope for parole is that he exists in the
prison only in looks keeping him detached from the dingy walls around him.
Also, his ability of keeping hope helped him gaining of admiration from his fellow
colleagues.
Apparently, with such strong film base, the thoroughly
shaped screenplay made the way for film’s success (not on box office, but received
outstanding reviews from critics). Apart from the lead roles played by Tom
Robbins and Morgan Freeman, the ensemble supporting star cast also performed
superbly and made the characters as being real. Going for more about the array
of artists, the veteran actor James Whitmore in the role of Brooks Hatlen who was
shown institutionalized in the prison touches our heart the most.

Moreover, the best part of the film is to
show the human desires, like hope and freedom in detail. Also these themes are
so well woven into the plot that it best connects the viewers in the story. The
film also presents a different Hollywood which is known more for its sci-fi
genre. Here, we see a masterpiece of real art that delivers a deep breath of
fresh air for everyone who wants to connect with the world around him.
