Itv4 21.00 Tonight .......

[Gizmonster]

..... If you've never seen it - where have you been??

The Shawshank Redemption is starting on ITV4 at 21.00.

Def up there in my list of all-time favourite films.
If you've never seen it, it's well worth a watch.

If there's nothing else on, I might just watch it AGAIN :)

Loved that film.

[UKSWF]

Totally agreed! An amazingly good film! Way on the top of my list! If haven’t seen it is a must!

[Bazile]

Give us a synopsis of the plot

[Mozz71]

Its a wonderful film. In my all time top ten.

[Peter Pedant]

I dont think I would watch it more than once

does the film cover this? shawshank is one of the spellings of Sheshonq who is mentioned in the Bible (OT)

[Peter Pedant]

sheshonq invades Judah in the tenth century BC
and wrecks a few places - Megiddo is sacked but does not mention Jerusalem

The history is mentioned on the Bubastite portal at Karnak....

Oh the film .... not sure about that

[brainiac]

never seen it, but isn't there some sort of blooper involving the poster being back on the wall at the end?

[pixie374]

Well worth seeing, imo... if there is anyone who hasn't. I am probably a little late now, but will try to find it. Thanks xx

found this comment from a website about bloopers
''[On the DVD commentary, the director confirms that this was a movie "cheat".] (01:49:05)''

this synopsis seems to cover the entire running time, Bazile. You did ask.

Tried watching it ages ago. Seemed like emotional mush, so no thanks.

[Georgiesmum]

One of my favourite films too, along with "The Green Mile", both very good films,

[ummmm]

Lol...I wouldn't call it emotional mush.

Well, its hardly Beaches, but its your loss!

[Mamyalynne]

A film I thoroughly enjoyed, rare for me to watch a film more than once but did manage twice with Shawshank and Sixth Sense.

[teacake44]

The cell had a 2 foot round hole in the wall behind a paper poster for what, 20 years and nobody discovered it. ha ha ,come on. :)

teacake - It's a drama, a little latitude with reality is allowed in the cause of a good story, which this most certainly is.

Author Stephen King tells an amusing story about how he was stopped in the supermarket by an old lady who felt, as some of the public do, that she had a right to criticise Mr King for his work uninvited -

"You're that Stephen King aren't you? You write all those horror stories like Salem's Lot, I don't like your stories."

"I'm sorry to hear that …" responded the author with the God-given patience that writers of his level must need to develop.

"Yes," continued the old lady. "I like uplifting stories, like The Shawshank Redemption."

"I wrote that too." advised the persecuted scribe.

"No you didn't!" replied the old lady before stalking out of the door.

ummm - // Lol...I wouldn't call it emotional mush. //

I'd have to agree - Andy's interaction with 'The Sisters', and his escape route were hardly the stuff of 'emotional mush' by anyone's measure.

Great film
