Obstinance_Works: I'm actually being harsh, just because Shawshank is propaganda which manipulates emotion to cement the way that people already think doesn't mean that it can't be great.
Don't you think all film art forms attempt and succeed (or not) to manipulate emotions?
I agree that there is no great, better, the best in any art form - it is either you liked it or you didn't.
There has been speculation that Shawshank was filmed at Alcatraz. Not so. The truth is that Stephen King wrote a book called Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption. The book inspired moviemakers to make the film. Shawshank was filmed at many, many locations in Ohio.
