It's a great film. I highly recommend it. It's also pretty true to the original story, except that part where "The Sisters" corner Andy. If you remember the film, let's just say Andy doesn't put up a fight in this one. Here are my favorite quotes (you have to imagine Morgan Freeman's voiceover saying them):
1. I used to think it’d take a man 600 seconds to make love to a woman. Old Andy did it in less than 20.
2. Let me tell you something my friend. Syphilis is a dangerous thing. Syphilis can drive a man insane.
3. These balls are kind of funny. First you hate 'em, then you get used to 'em. Enough time passes, gets so you depend on them. That's institutionalized. They send you here for life, that's exactly what they take. The part that counts, anyways. Your balls.
4. I once got a bunch of hookers. Started beatin’ em. Killed one of ‘em. Funny thing about dead hookers. You can never kill just one.
5. I once got my penis caught in a Chinese finger trap. It hurt. It hurt so much I thought I was gonna cry, but I didn’t. I guess that’s institutionalized.
6. I guess some birds weren’t meant to be caged. I guess I just miss my friend. Well not so much a friend. He was more of a sex slave. Never quite got his name. Couldn’t speak much through the leather mask I made him wear. I guess that’s institutionalized.
