The entire cast is sterling‚ but the two leading players‚ Robbins and Freeman‚ are particularly fine. Robbins‚ with his slightly dented‚ vaguely asymmetrical face‚ gives Dufresne a prep school spruceness with a core of steel. Robbins helps preserve Shawshank’s tension by making Dufresne a man potentially vulnerable to a despair that he is determined to resist. As Red‚ Morgan Freeman has an even more difficult role: the benevolent narrator trying to understand the hero for us

A Higher Power Is there a higher power? How mighty is this power? These two questions do not have a right or wrong answer but for many people‚ they are definitely hard questions to answer.

title character‚ Beowulf. Beowulf is a loyal‚ faithful‚ and courageous leader of men; this is a quality I believe Brad Pitt can effectively convey to movie viewers based on his previous roles. The role of King Hrothgar will go to the honorable Morgan Freeman because I believe his aura and wisdom parallel the wisdom shown by the great king. The other minor roles will be filled up once the movie is green lighted. As far as the filming location‚ I believe it is in our best interest to film the movie
