Andy soon finds that you either get on with living or you get on with dying.<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>Adapted from a novella taken from Stephen King's 'Different Seasons' (a collection of stories that would also spawn STAND BY ME and APT PUPIL), THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION marked the first foray into the realms of the writer for director Frank Darabont. In the years since the release of THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, Darabont has directed two other King Adaptations, THE GREEN MILE and THE MIST. Considered to be a financial failure upon its release, and overshadowed by PULP FICTION and FORREST GUMP at the Oscars, THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION has since been re-evaluated as something of a modern classic.
ReviewsRolling Stone - ...Undeniably powerful and moving..., New York Times - ...A slow, gentle story of camaraderie....THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION has its own brand of iconoclasm..., Premiere - ...[The pairing of Freeman and Robbins] sparks moments of true grace and emotion..., Empire - Fully deserves its modern classic status ... leaves you with a warm glow and a grin no 30-year stretch could remove., Entertainment Weekly - "...Extremely satisfying entertainment....[A] provisional masterpiece..." -- Rating: A-
