Shawshank Redemption (Bilingual) [Blu-ray]

Storyline:

Chronicles the experiences of a formerly successful banker as a prisoner in the gloomy jailhouse of Shawshank after being found guilty of a crime he did not commit. The film portrays the man's unique way of dealing with his new, torturous life; along the way he befriends a number of fellow prisoners, most notably a wise long-term inmate named Red.

Movie Information:

In 1946, a banker named Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins) is convicted of a double murder, even though he stubbornly proclaims his innocence. He's sentenced to a life term at the Shawshank State Prison in Maine, where another lifer, Ellis 'Red' Redding (Morgan Freeman), picks him as the new recruit most likely to crack under the pressure. The ugly realities of prison life are quickly introduced to Andy: a corrupt warden (Bob Gunton), sadistic guards led by Capt. Byron Hadley (Clancy Brown), and inmates who are little better than animals,give beatings to insure their dominance. But Andy does not crack: he has the hope of the truly innocent, which (together with his smarts) allow him to prevail behind bars. He uses his banking skills to win favour with the warden and the guards, doing the books for Norton's illegal business schemes and keeping an eye on the investments of most of the prison staff. In exchange, he is able to improve the prison library and bring some dignity and respect back to many of the inmates, including Red. Based on a story by Stephen King, The Shawshank Redemption was the directorial debut of screenwriter Frank Darabont.

Product description

A prominent banker unjustly convicted of murder spends many years in the Shawshank prison. He is befriended by a convict who knows the ropes and helps him to cope with the frightning realities of prison life.

    Reviewed in Canada on March 19, 2012

    The Shawshank Redemption sits at the top of the IMDB Top 250 with a rating of 9.2/10, so it clearly appeals to the majority of those who have seen it. It's also hated by some because they can't agree that it's the best film ever made. While I understand that argument, I find it difficult to believe that the haters can't respect it on some level. However, I don't care about any of that, I love the film.

    The story begins in 1946 with the trial of Andy Dufresne (Robbins) and we see him convicted for murdering his wife and her lover. The next 30 minutes shows him arriving at the prison and slowly adapting to life behind bars. Darabont uses a number of violent scenes to establish that prison life is somewhat brutal, but he doesn't dwell on it as the film progresses.

    This is a film about hope and friendship more than anything else. It just happens to be set in a prison. Andy befriends Red (Freeman), because he's a man who knows how to obtain items from the outside world. Their friendship and mutual respect is there from the start and develops throughout the film.

    Andy is an educated man and he finally attracts the attention of the most brutal prison guard in a memorable rooftop scene. The guard has inherited some money and fears that the IRS will take a big chunk. Andy shows him a way to avoid losing any of it. That single event is the catalyst for significant change in Andy's life. The guards begin to protect him and he's given a job which enables him to use some of his knowledge. He's well-liked by both the inmates and the guards.

    Warden Norton (Gunton) is one of the most corrupt men in Shawshank, even though he runs the place. He seems fairly harmless, but he's actually evil, greedy and dangerous. He provides the main source of conflict in the film.

    Andy strives to improve prison life for everyone, as evidenced by his campaign to win funding for the library. He makes the best of his situation at all times.

    The final 30 minutes of the film is extremely uplifting. Stephen King wrote the short story on which the film is based and his influence can clearly be seen. One of the things I like about King is the sense of justice present in his stories. If you think back to The Green Mile, you'll see what I mean. The Shawshank Redemption covers 20 years of Andy's life. Darabont wanted the final scene to be omitted, but the conclusion is still incredible.

    In the 18 years since the film was made, you've probably heard dozens of Morgan Freeman voice-overs. If you watch the film, you'll see why.

    One of the themes present in the film is how inmates can become institutionalized. Imagine being in prison for 50 years. How would things have changed in the outside world? It would be bad enough missing 20 years. Think about the advances made since the early 1990s. If you stepped out of a prison cell after 20 years, wouldn't you wonder why everyone walked around talking into their cellphones? You might light a cigarette and be arrested.

    I would recommend The Shawshank Redemption to anyone. You might not like it, but there's a strong chance you will. Robbins and Freeman are both superb. I watch the film twice a year and never tire of seeing it.

    As noted, this is my favourite movie of all time. What an eye-opener it is to see it in 4k. I didn't see it when it was in the theatres in 1994. Shortly after, I saw it somewhere (probably on TV) and began recommending it to anyone who would listen to me. As much as I loved this on the many VHS copies I bought, the multiple DVDs I bought and the Blu-ray version I bought, I had never seen anything that approached what I believe would have been the video quality seen in a theatre. I will never have the opportunity to see a 35mm film projection of this film, since theatres don't do that anymore. I expect I am like other tens of millions who grew to love this movie long after it left theatres. Take the opportunity if you can to enjoy this film in 4k, and fall in love again. (To be clear, I have no association with any person or company connected to the move - I am just a big fan).

    5.0 out of 5 stars Spectacular 4K upgrade from the regular Blu-ray for one of the most beloved films ever made!
    Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2021
    Verified Purchase
    This 4K Blu-ray of this incredible movie looks phenomenal! Once you've seen it you'll never settle for the regular Blu-ray again!

    "The Shawshank Redemption" stands as perhaps the very best adaptation of a written work ever translated into a motion picture--and an amazingly good movie as well.
    Many years ago, having just finished reading King's "Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption", I turned on my TV and saw a commercial for the movie version opening the very next day, so I made plans to go and see it.
    Avid readers always hope that a film adaptation of a book they love will do justice to that book, even though 99 times out of 100 we're sorely disappointed to see it utterly ruined by a screenwriter who apparently either doesn't get the book or doesn't like it and decides to change everything.
    Still, we keep hoping every time around for an adaptation by someone who actually loves the book and tries to do right by it--even if we really expect in our hearts for that hope to be utterly dashed.
    To my surprise and joy, I was treated to the truest, most accurate adaptation of a written work I had ever seen brought to the screen--and, being such a voracious reader and an avid movie fan, over the years I've seen more of them than most people can imagine!
    The writer and director of The Shawshank Redemption, Frank Darabont, had achieved an absolute miracle by somehow managing to get over 95% of the book onto the screen, something I'd not only never seen happen before, but had never imagined was even possible!
    I thought the movie was truly magnificent, one of the finest movies I'd ever seen in my life, but I wondered if anyone else in the theater was as impressed by it as I was.
    When the film ended and the theater audience actually stood up and gave the movie a standing ovation, many whistling and cheering (something I'd never seen happen in a movie theater before), I knew I wasn't the only one blown away by how incredibly good this movie was.
    Over the next couple of weeks, though, I was saddened to see how poorly it performed at the box office, and soon enough it had disappeared from theaters altogether.
    If you are a film lover, to see a movie so incredibly good vanish into oblivion breaks one's heart.
    But then, it was released on home video, and without any push from the studio, it unexpectedly and miraculously began to grow in popularity through word of mouth alone. People who watched it loved it so much that they told all their friends about what a great movie it was--and those friends rented it and told all of their friends about it too. As a result "The Shawshank Redemption", initially a compete box office disaster, continued to grow and grow in popularity over the following months to eventually become the very successful number one home video title of the year--and it continued to grow in popularity beyond that point, eventually becoming one of the most beloved films of all time.
    When a national survey was performed and people were asked to name their one single all time favorite film, it amazed the film community by unexpectedly coming in second place out of all of the motion pictures ever made, bested only by the number one selection "The Godfather".
    This is a movie that has cast it's spell over millions--with one of the most satisfying and downright best endings ever to grace the silver screen.
    There were only two changes made from the novel, the character of Red was changed from a red haired Irishman to Morgan Freeman. Since Red's being Irish was only just basic character background information and really had no impact on the story whatsoever, changing this so that the perfect actor for the part could play him was of no consequence to the story and strengthened the film enormously.
    The other change involved the disposition of one character and the change only made the impact of one of the best endings in movie history that much stronger.
    Everything about the movie, from the excellent cinematography to the superlative casting, the pitch perfect pacing, and even the emotionally evocative musical score by Thomas Newman created the identical feel and atmosphere of reading the book itself.
    This movie was clearly a labor of love by a filmmaker who worked his tail off to translate a book he adored as faithfully as possible into a movie--and he did a truly magnificent job, succeeding at it more beautifully than I could have imagined in my wildest dreams.
    "The Shawshank Redemption" is so beloved by fans that it has also become the one movie most often shown on television.
    But, please see the 4K version. The 4K Blu-ray puts the HD version to utter shame.
    Every aspect of the 4K version, from the image sharpness and the fine detail level, to the color palette and the shadow details are all dramatically improved.
    This is a truly excellent looking disc of one of the most phenomenal motion pictures ever made.
    If you haven't seen The Shawshank Redemption, please do. I promise you that afterward, you'll be sorry that you waited so long to experience this superlative masterpiece. And if you have already seen it and already know what an incredible movie it is, the 4K version honestly makes it an even better viewing experience--almost like getting to see it for the very first time all over again!
    The "Shawshank Redemption" is a one of a kind film experience--and seeing it in 4K makes that experience even more memorable. This 4K Blu-ray disc comes with the highest recommendation I can possibly offer. Every movie collector who loves great films should have a copy of this excellent disc in their collection!
