There’s going to be at least a little heaviness in just about every drama movie out there, because it’s in the name, really. Dramas deal with difficult things, or personal struggles, and sometimes broader ideas, or, like, groups of people working through something immense. As boring as it might be to be the 500,000,00th person to bring it up, The Shawshank Redemption really is a quintessential drama, and one where there’s a balance of intense moments of hardship and quite a bit by way of moments that are inspiring and hopeful.
