Shawshank Redemption
Wow! what a movie! This was one of the greatest movies I have ever saw. When my teacher said, "we're going to be watching the movie Shawshank redemption" my first thought was what the heck is this movie about. I had no ideas what this movie was about and that is why I think i liked this movie so much.
This movie starts off with a guy named Andy sittting in his car drinking. I could tell that Andy was very mad or upset about something and I liked how the director just switched scenes to Andy being tried in court for the muder of his wife. Andy begs and says he never comitted the crime but the jury doesn't believe him and sends Andy to jail for life. The next scene is Andy sitting on a bus going to Shawshank jail. I just thought to myself what Andy was thinking about as he is sitting there with all of his freedom stripped of him. As the bus pulls up to the jail, all the inmates are cheering and gathering around to see who the new inmates were that were coming in. As Andy steps off the bus, I could tell that him and Red were going to have a connection, just because of the look in Red's eyes.
As the movie goes on, Andy doesn't really have any friends but he hasn't really tried talking to anyone. One guy goes up and confronts Andy in the shower and say's he'll be his freind but Andy says no thanks. Later on in the movie this guy ends up raping Andy and also beating Andy up, but the officers took care of that guy. As the movie goes on Andy and Reds friendship keeps getting closer and closer. Red had an inside friendship with almost everyone in the jail and that led to Andy becoming close to everyone. As Andy and Red are on a roof-top working, Andy makes a deal with the officer saying that he'll do his taxes for him. From here on, Andy started to do the Wardens taxes, but this would eventually lead to a bad ending.
A new inmate joins Shawshank redemption and he would change Andy's life. He siad that he had an inmate at an old jail and told the story of how he murdered Andy's wife. The whole time Andy has been innocent but no one belived him. Andy tried going to the Warden to tell him he's innocent but the Warden doesn't believe him and then Andy says that he won't tell anyone that the Warden is embezling money into the jail and that forces the Warden to lock Andy up in the whole for atleast 2 months.
Once Andy got out of the hole, he started to act totally different and Red knew it but he didn't know what Andy was up to. Andy goes back to his cell one night, and that was going to be the last time Andy was in his cell at Shawshank. Andy has been working on digging a huge tunnel through his cell wall to escape and that night he crawled through it and escaped the jail. No one was ever able to find Andy. Andy wrote this letter to let people know what was truly happening at Shawshank and then a police group went there only to find the Warden already kill himself. Red eventually got out and met up with Andy down in Mexico.
This is one of the greatest movies about never giving up on hope, even if your innocent the whole time. I loved this movie and would recommend others watching this movie!

V For Vendetta
“Remember remember the fifth of November gunpowder, treason and plot. I see no reason why gunpowder, treason should ever be forgot.” This is such a great quote or saying that it has been around our time forever. It rhymes and still gets the point through.
At the beginning of this movie, i liked how the director had Evy and V looking into the mirror doing the same exact thing, so it was almost as if they were the same person. At that point, I knew that Evy was going to play a big role in this movie, and that she was going to be tied to V in some way.... and I think that thought was just an under statement. As the movie goes on, Evy keeps getting closer and closer to V and I think the sad part is, is that she can't even controll it, only he can.
The main reason I loved this movie, is because it always kept me on edge. I could never tell when V was going to strike again and either could anyone else in the movie. I liked the directors message. I think his message was, that this movie was going to be filled with action and after watching that, I think using the word action to describe this movie would be an under-statement. As the movie goes on, V keeps making his moves and killing people left to right. At times I was very confused of why V was doing certain things but as I look back on it, it all makes sense.
There was one point that really stuck out to me in this movie and that was the sotry itself. Sometimes I feel as if the director reveals the story to quickly but in this moive that was not how it appeared. As the movie went on, the story started to come to me but as it also went on my mind was thinking back and forth on why he was doing so I liked how the movie kept you on edge for the whole thing and not just the ending.
Overall this was one of the best movies I've seen just because of the fact of how it unraveled and how it was so exciting! I would prefer someone else to watch it and I can see myself watching this movie again!
