What actually is 'The Shawshank Redemption'?

 "Hope is a good thing. May be the best of things. And no good thing ever dies."

There are many movies where we laugh, there are many movies where we cry and there are few movies which we feel. But The Shawshank Redemption doesn't fit in any of these categories neither in any of the categories that have ever existed. The Shawshank Redemption is a category by itself, the untouched category, the pure category and the only category. We see artists, they take meanings out of art, but here the whole meaning has actually taken art as a way to make itself appear. That's why its not just a movie, but a meaning on its own.

Undoubtedly, not even a single mean would be enough to express every teachings that the movie offers, not even the movie by itself. If one dissolves himself into the movie, the teachings would eventually blend into him. I will not say that, a different person will immediately replace you after you finish the movie, but I can surely say, as you gradually keep exploring your life then the real Shawshank Redemption will play along with your life experiences. It may sound too much, but I won't hesitate to say that we all live The Shawshank Redemption, The Shawshank Redemption is one of the closest thing which has visualized itself as life. The IMDB ratings that it has got is the least thing this masterpiece can get.

How a man dies while living? How a man is born while living? What really the god does? What is hope? What is a friendship? What is freedom? Most importantly, What is life? 

  To get all the answers.....
