    Lol, I guess I should have expected that response. 🤦‍♀️

    I ask because I feel like your characterisation of The Shawshank Redemption could equally apply to The Godfather (if you replace good guy with protagonist) and I think they are equivalently great films. It’s just that one film is about how a normal (presumably innocent) man descends into evil and cruelty due to his circumstances and unfortunate events, the other is about a man who maintains his inner light despite his circumstances and unfortunate events. While you may or may not find one more compelling than the other, I think they are both equally special in their way.

  I haven’t seen it actually, but my impression is that it’s probably actually good based on what I’ve heard. I’ll have to watch it though
