Shawshank In A Minute
posted by Steven Shaw at 7:35 amYou may have noticed that celebrities often cite The Shawshank Redemption as their favourite movie ever. In fact, it’s got to the point where Tourettes-like instinct takes over and they holler “Shawshank” at every opportunity. We doubt half of them have seen the darned thing. So, for the benefit of any celebrities out there who haven’t seen it (and would like to pretend they have), here’s a distilled, one-minute version of said film — done in the style of the Beastie Boys. From Jib Jab.

We had to study it in 5th form english back when I was in school (circa ~ ‘96?)… I still don’t get why it’s such a big deal. Yeah it’s good, but not that good.

Polemic: No one ever likes films they had to study in high school English. Hamlet sux!!!

I studied Saving Private Ryan in 6th form English and it is still one of my favourites. Studying it made it better – one of the few things in English I actually did enjoy.
As for Shawshank, it is a good movie but I can’t understand why so many people like it.
