Both, not so.

To me, Shawshank plays like a 'guy' movie, because it has no major female characters to relate to.
To understand the story, or the minds at work in the story, I had to just stop and watch, because they were not thinking about the situation the way that I would.

I had a very hard time relating to, and understanding that film, and had to watch it over and over again to understand why the men handled it they way they did.
