Translated from swedish: Some movies are fantastic the first time you watch them, but don't quite manage to create the same feelings when you rewatch them. "The Shawshank Redemption" captures me in its atmosphere every time I see it. Whether it's because it's so well-crafted - from acting to set design and music - or because certain films actually have a kind of soul that amounts to more than the sum of their parts, it makes it a classic in the truest sense of the word.

Translated from swedish: In the end, it becomes clear that "The Shawshank Redemption" is about something entirely different from prison or crime. Instead, it's a powerful portrayal of the life choices we make and how we face them. What is good and evil, or somewhere in between. What can destroy us but at the same time make us stronger. These messages must be what makes the film so beloved around the world.
