The Shawshank Redemption

Remember that film in 1994? I didn't (couldn't anyway) watch it... but I love the way the title sounds, and heard it has one of the best endings in film history, so I did the next best thing: read the script.

It's really touching, especially how the two inmates, Red and Andy, make friends, and inspiring how Andy refuses to give up hope even in the dark dungeons of Shawshank Prison, even after going through shame and pain - and touches many lives through his determination.

In fact, despite the film's portrayal of various "Christian" hypocrites, e.g. a "Christian" warden who abuses the prisoners while taking care not to use the Lord's name in vain, some film critics have criticised the film as a Christian parable in disguise. Just find it ironic... but also very meaningful too. :)
