If Mr. Freeman didn't want to imagine what it was like inside that pipe, then he should avoid viewing this waste of celluloid, I assure you it is 100 times worse. A rampant glorification of gynicide.

However, I would like to go further, and suggest that Shawshank redemption is one of the worst movie's ever made. For starters, it's got Morgan Freeman in it. Morgan Freeman(this spelling may be wrong, but I don't care) is a man of limited talents: he can play a guy hunting a serial killer, and sometimes the president, but when he tries to act he's terrible. And you know I'm right. <br />Two: The film is really boring, goes on forever, covers a span of decades yet the cast never age(Morgan freeman should be dead by the end), has voiceover to explain everything, is really sentimental, everything ends ridiculously happily, he escapes in a stupid way, it actually contains the tagline "hope can set you free" and so on and so on. <br />Three: The film's star, Tim Robbins, actually said it was awful. He is right and you are all wrong. I’m sure no one’s disputing that The Shawshank redemption is a bad movie.

I just wish that he kept his politics to himself and not used his celebrity to amplify them. Nothing wrong with free speech- but actors generally have more media attention than the millions of fans they have. When was the last time CNN asked you about whether you liked a candidate, or policy? <br /> <br />Anyway, Tim Robbins is a great actor, but I can't get the image of him telling me how to think out of my head when I see him act now- and that has ruined a lot of movies for me.

If you want to see Morgan Freeman in a good role, see "Dreamcatcher". That is an epic film. Morgan Freeman ruins this movie with his horrible voice over and acting.

Oh, give that guy an Oscar. More like Shawstank Congestion. It's like some twisted kinda Karate Kid who's mute and has a sort of Southern Fried Yoda for a companion. But then he's always barfing and swimming in poop. It gets disgusting and after a while you're like I get it and why? for godsakes.
