I read the original Stephen King short story back in the 70's. This version, while competent, is greatly expanded, and very obviously Hollywoodized, with clearly defined heroes and villains. The villains, of course, get their come-uppance either during the story or at the end of the movie. All very pat. And very unlike real life. And very unlike the original story, which had no such vibe. The changes no doubt pleased a lot of audiences, but I think it's weaker as a result.

I had seen it on release but only vaguely remembered it. So I searched my subscription services and Amazon had it. The movie held up and my long ago viewing did not impinge on the dramatic tension.
At the end my wife turned to me and said “that was good but what was so special about the music?”
The answer "nothing" it was unremarkable but the movie stood the test of time.

This is an extremely meaningful story, and very well acted. It's a classic and I will probably watch it again.

It ended happily, however, the process to get to this point I don't think justified the foul language and depravity it took to get there. Great acting and very clever story line. Violence, foul language, despicable people (if you can call them people) was not uplifting even though the good guys win in the end. However, the good law abiding citizen who was innocently accused had to become a crook in prison to achieve the so called redemption.

So many subtle things make this movie a masterpiece. One thing for you to notice is how the review panel changes each decade, and how they treat Red.
Superb.

More swimming through sewage, and murder of inmates, than expected, but that was more than compensated for by realistic depictions of tax advice.

運命を呪うより明日を変える努力が人を生かす
Reviewed in Japan on 28 July 2018Verified Purchase
鉄格子は、人から時は奪えても頭上の空の青さは奪えない。
ティム・ロビンス主演の刑務所モノだが、ハリウッド・ヒユーマン・ドラマでは屈指の名作。
たとえどんなに苦しい立場や逆境に有っても、自分を見失わず真摯に生きる事の大切さ、友と自由な人生を歩める有り難さを嫌味なく教えてくれる至玉の作品。
そして自分に与えられた能力を天祐として正しく使うことの意義や、たとえ犯罪者でも心の片隅にある良心や人間性に光を当てて再生を促す収容所の大いなる価値を学ばせてくれる素晴らしいテーマ性が光る。
実話を元にしたクリント・イーストウッドの「アルカトラズからの脱出」には脱獄のリアルさでは及ばないが、希望を見失わない勇気や慈愛の精神、怨恨に囚われない意志の尊さ、犯罪者をめぐる社会的メッセージの厚みでは圧倒的に本作に軍配が上がる。
回想ナレーション役のモーガン・フリーマンは、他の映画では人生のあらゆる艱難辛苦を知り尽くしている達観した役柄が定番だが、本作ではいつもと違う不完全な役柄で、彼に起きた変化が仮釈放審査の態度に表れる。犯罪者のみならず人間の心の真理を突いた見事な演出で最も印象的なシーンだ。
時代を越えて語り継がれるべき名作として、多くの方が本作を観て、運命に負けない、人生を諦めない人の心の強さや美しさを感じて貰えることが素直に嬉しい。

One of the modern classics and does justice to Stephen King.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 August 2019Verified Purchase
Loads of reviews here that give justice to a film that many will have in their top all time best film listing as I do.
My copy is the 10th Anniversary, 3 disc Special Edition. Disc 1 has the film and with it an exemplary audio description track for the visually impaired. Indeed the box set has a sticker across it in braille. There are English subtitles for the hearing impaired. A commentary by Frank Darabont the director, plus biographies and memorable quotes.
Discs 2 & 3 are choc-a-bloc full of extras and bonus features that are a real treat in entertainment and information when you have a few hours to spare on a rainy day ---- I've watched some of it, not all, and I'm glad the producers were able to compile these extras before we lose some of those players from the film.
Years from now people will be scrambling to put together something like this to recognize the importance of the film. Thankfully it has been done, credit to the producers and crew for their foresight.
This version of the film is 136 minutes long and is a perfect example of the level of sophistication that a company / group can reach to bring a product to both the hearing and visually impaired. Well done.

un des meilleurs films qu'il m'ait été amené de voir - un chef d'oeuvre -
Reviewed in France on 29 December 2018Verified Purchase
C'est en 1994 que Frank Darabont écrit et réalise "The Shawshank Redemption" (Les évadés) inspiré d'une courte nouvelle de Stephen King.
Ce film, qui fût un échec commercial à sa sortie sur les écrans (titre imprononçable, film de prison, absence de stars au générique), a véritablement explosé lors de sa sortie en DVD.
Il faut dire que l'on assiste à la projection d'un véritable chef d'œuvre qui va bien au-delà d'un nouveau film sur le milieu carcéral américain. Les thèmes abordés sont avant tout l'amitié profonde qui va naître entre Andy et Red magistralement interprétés par Tim Robbins et Morgan Freeman, la corruption qui gangrène la direction des prisons, l'après sortie lorsqu'on a vécu 50 ans enfermé et la quasi impossibilité de se réinsérer dans la société et la possibilité de rédemption: il faut choisir de vivre ou de mourir.
Le scénario du film est excellent, à la virgule près, la violence se retrouve marginalisée par rapport aux relations humaines qui se nouent entre les différents prisonniers tous parfaitement interprétés notamment par le vétéran James Whitmore.
Un film qui vous marque à tout jamais et que l'on peut voir et revoir sans jamais se lasser.
Un des chefs d'œuvre du 7ème art.

The Shawshank Of Redemption is a fantastic movie that will stay with you forever. You seen it once you will remember it for the rest of your life. Is that good. The story is fantastic. It will keep you glued to the screen. It has everything that an amazing prison movie should have. I will not spoil the story for anyone that has not seen it. I have the UK version of Blu Ray as well but decided to get the US version too which works fine on my blu ray player. It looks and it sounds fantastic. The movie looks like it was shot yesterday. I can recommend this movie without hesitation to anyone. You will really enjoy it especially on blu ray. Great seller. Fast on time delivery from the US which is great. Thank You

The Shawshank Redemption. DVD (1995)
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 September 2013Verified Purchase
Brilliant film but would have been more enjoyable if there were english subtitles available.
Probably copied (officially) from VHS tape onto DVD, (hence no subtitles), but did have two separate film formats, one each side of disc.
One side of the disc has Video Aspect Ratio 1: 4:3 , whereas the flip side of the disc has Video Aspect Ratio 16:9.
The film has a great story-line and recommend anyone to watch and enjoy.
PS: However I have now bought a second copy which does have english subtitles, and only one side playable this time..
