ショーシャンクの空に [Blu-ray]

絶望の中の希望

大きなカタルシス

まさに名画

人間のもつ意志の強さと気高さ、そして醜さが凝縮されている。

見るべき映画だ。

映画の素晴らしさが、これでもかと詰まっている。

もしまだ見ていない方がおられるのであれば、人生で一度はぜひ見て頂きたいです。

ありがとう。

とにかく、最後まで観賞してください。心に、何か感じられたら、観賞した価値はあると思います。

諦めずコツコツと行こう

なよなよした主人公が、無実の罪で刑務所に。

なんやかんや囚人たちや環境に影響を受け

強く、成長していく……。

あらすじだけ見るとそんな物語を想像してしまうかもしれませんが

この物語は一貫して、アンディ自身の品性・知性によって

周囲に影響を与えていくお話しだと思いました。

映画にありがちな派手なアクションや、過剰な演出を排除して、

ただ「人間の物語」に徹しているところが新鮮に感じました。

2時間半近い上映時間なのに、一切中だるみを感じさせないのは、

アンディというキャラクターの強さと、キャスト陣の圧倒的な演技力のおかげでしょう。

そんな、友情と希望の物語。

間違いなく人におススメ出来る作品です。

ま、ドパガキには見れないかｗ

至って普通の作品

作品の軸は希望なんだろうけど

冤罪、不正、ぽっと出の死に役、逃亡等テーマがブレていて一貫性を感じない。

The Shawshank Redemption sits at the top of the IMDB Top 250 with a rating of 9.2/10, so it clearly appeals to the majority of those who have seen it. It's also hated by some because they can't agree that it's the best film ever made. While I understand that argument, I find it difficult to believe that the haters can't respect it on some level. However, I don't care about any of that, I love the film.

The story begins in 1946 with the trial of Andy Dufresne (Robbins) and we see him convicted for murdering his wife and her lover. The next 30 minutes shows him arriving at the prison and slowly adapting to life behind bars. Darabont uses a number of violent scenes to establish that prison life is somewhat brutal, but he doesn't dwell on it as the film progresses.

This is a film about hope and friendship more than anything else. It just happens to be set in a prison. Andy befriends Red (Freeman), because he's a man who knows how to obtain items from the outside world. Their friendship and mutual respect is there from the start and develops throughout the film.

Andy is an educated man and he finally attracts the attention of the most brutal prison guard in a memorable rooftop scene. The guard has inherited some money and fears that the IRS will take a big chunk. Andy shows him a way to avoid losing any of it. That single event is the catalyst for significant change in Andy's life. The guards begin to protect him and he's given a job which enables him to use some of his knowledge. He's well-liked by both the inmates and the guards.

Warden Norton (Gunton) is one of the most corrupt men in Shawshank, even though he runs the place. He seems fairly harmless, but he's actually evil, greedy and dangerous. He provides the main source of conflict in the film.

Andy strives to improve prison life for everyone, as evidenced by his campaign to win funding for the library. He makes the best of his situation at all times.

The final 30 minutes of the film is extremely uplifting. Stephen King wrote the short story on which the film is based and his influence can clearly be seen. One of the things I like about King is the sense of justice present in his stories. If you think back to The Green Mile, you'll see what I mean. The Shawshank Redemption covers 20 years of Andy's life. Darabont wanted the final scene to be omitted, but the conclusion is still incredible.

In the 18 years since the film was made, you've probably heard dozens of Morgan Freeman voice-overs. If you watch the film, you'll see why.

One of the themes present in the film is how inmates can become institutionalized. Imagine being in prison for 50 years. How would things have changed in the outside world? It would be bad enough missing 20 years. Think about the advances made since the early 1990s. If you stepped out of a prison cell after 20 years, wouldn't you wonder why everyone walked around talking into their cellphones? You might light a cigarette and be arrested.

I would recommend The Shawshank Redemption to anyone. You might not like it, but there's a strong chance you will. Robbins and Freeman are both superb. I watch the film twice a year and never tire of seeing it.

I'm a fan of Stephen King's stories and this is one of my favorite movies. Such a great movie that I wanted to share it my father, but unfortunately he speaks broken english and a lot of the story gets lost in translation. I searched for this movie in Italian and to my surprise Amazon had it. Now you can watch this great movie in Italian! Make sure you have a multi-region dvd player that converts PAL movies to work on NTSC TVs if you plan to watch this movie in the USA.

Ora poi guardare questo film in Italiano!
