"It's a must-see movie for men," everyone said. But simply distinguishing between genders will make the film narrower. The Shawshank Redemption pushes beyond the confines of men's films, with an almost unbelievably heartwarming tone throughout, and the greatest theme in the film is "hope." When we have no choice but to encounter the kind of prison that imprisoned the freedom of the mind like Shawshank, are we helpless old Brooke, discouraged Reid, or wise Andy? Use wisdom, trust hope, and face fear to defeat it? Classic movies are classic because they all do the same thing - let you appreciate the goodness of hope from a different perspective.
