I meant to ask, how are Darabont's other films? I'm a fan of Jim Carrey, so I'll probably end up watching The Majestic, but how's The Green Mile? The Mist?The Majestic is not good, The Green Mile is Oscar bait-ish but decent, The Mist kicks arse and hates people in general.
just came out on bluray too woot

Like most movies with a twist, Shawshank isn't meant to be watched more than once a year.

Saw this movie a year ago. Like Oz, it's pretty damn depressing (yes, I know it's obvious). I can understand why people like it, but not really one of my favs. Though I have to say it has some great dialogue and I likes the happy ending. :)

The only part that really saddened me wasspoiler (click to show/hide)when Brooks gets out and ends up being so confused and dysfunctional in a world that has grown without him and can only respond with suicide. It sucks to know that there are people who spend a lifetime in prison only to later come out into a world that they don't understand, nor can properly function in.[close]

Yeah, that was pretty sad as well. Course, also there was the wholespoiler (click to show/hide)ass beating by the sisters, and staying in prison for 19 years before escaping. But yeah. :P[close]

I didn't think either of those scenes had anything on American History X's prison scenes, however unintentionally lulz-worth they are.

I liked it until the plot devolves into prisoner with a golden heart vs EVIL WARDEN~. Same plot device I have seen 1000 times before. It's a good movie, but a bit overrated.
Can you list off a few of these 1000 other movies that use this plot device? I might want to rent a few of them.

Cool Hand Luke, just 'cause it was mentioned multiple times already. And is awesome.
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
anyways, WHAT IS THE TWIST? ???

Seriously?spoiler (click to show/hide)In Shawshank, it's implied that Andy is beaten AND raped multiple times. As far as we know, Edward Norton's character (name?) only got raped once.Got off pretty damn lucky imo.[close]

I love this movie, and hate those who say it sucks because it's a "Count of Monte Cresto" rip-off or those stupid conspiracy theorists who went to say that it's "the Israeli/Palestinian conflict retold from a person who believes in the development and protection of a Jewish nation point of view". It was so farfetched and incredibly distinguished mentally-challenged that it killed a couple of thousand brain-cells. :duhthere's a reason most conspiracy theories in fact are barely veiled racism, and most conspiracy theorists are made of pure stupid.
That wasduring Freeman's narration, I thought it was made quite clear that Andy...spoiler (click to show/hide)during the Rita Hayworth scene, not the movie in general. I don't think the movie ever mentioned if Andy got raped or not.[close]
Every so often, Andy would show up with fresh bruises. The Sisters kept at him - sometimes he was able to fight 'em off, sometimes not.So what happens when he can't fight them off? That sounds pretty clear to me.
