Shawshank Redemption is a powerful film that shows that you can find friendship in even the harshest places. We watched the film in a week portions that would normally end in a cliffhanger and leave the class groaning in annoyance. The film has some sort of power over you, whenever we left the room at a cliffhanger it would make me feel differently than I usually am. I would enter the room with a normal level headed attitude, and leave like an animal in a cage. It feels as if I'm was the one in prison, and everyone around me was an enemy. I would know that I wasn't, and nothing was wrong, but that is the magic of the film, it allows you to empathies with the characters and their struggle in the unfair world of the crimanal justice system.
