For some reason, I had never seen The Shawshank Redemption. I wasn't avoiding it, but it just never happened.
Anyway, I finally watched it, and it's good.
That is all.
Weird. Same exact situation here. Had never seen it (or any part of it) and just watched it this past weekend. Very good flick. But IMO Top 5 all time is a reach. Still very enjoyable.
Did either of you have any knowledge of the plot before watching the film?Having only seen it for the first time recently either of you may be able to settle a point of contention for me.
While watching the movie, did you
know that Andy was innocent, or did you assume he was guilty until the plot twist with Tommy's character?
Many people when discussing the film say they knew Andy was innocent all along, but I don't see how anyone could without some sort of inside information before seeing the movie.
