Regular chosen as a favorite movie of many, this prison story about thriving despite the bad situation probably makes many think "Perhaps I could handle it". Starring Tim Robbins as Andy and Morgan Freeman (interesting name meaning!) as Red, Andy is sentenced to life for double murder that appears to be a railroad job. Red, the long-time inmate, shows him the ropes.
The period piece of this gothic prison look make the time look like something that probably never was. Interesting cinematography with many aerial shots and looking through long holes: a safe, the inevitable escape attempt. Similar 90s movies of that time were Forrest Gump and My Dog Skip.
