Shawshank Redemption -Get busy livin' or get busy dyin'
) 
4 of 7 people found this review helpful.
While not a box office hit, this movie is a favorite of many viewers, and has achieved the distinction of being one of the best classic films of all time.
"I guess it comes down to a simple choice, really. Get busy livin' or get busy dyin'..." , and the choices made by Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins) are what make this movie long, yet thrilling. Based on the Stephen King short story "Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption," Frank Darabont succeeds in making this film so powerful that viewers often mention watching it 5, 10, even 20 times or more.
Filmed at the Ohio State Reformatory,(a historic Ohio prison built between 1886 and 1910 that remained in operation until 1972) "Shawshank" is much more than "a prison movie." It is film about hope, and of an undying friendship that develops between the rich, white, innocent, young banker, Andy, and "Red, (Morgan Freeman) a black convicted murderer and prison hustler.
This film is a must see.
And...the title of that opera song playing in the prison yard?
It's Duettino - Sull'aria from the Marriage of Figaro.
