Greatest Film Sine "Shawshank"

Rating: 10/10 (6 February 2005)

I myself am currently a film school student so to measure the quality of a film is much more complicated considering the things we learn to take into account. (Which characters have arcs, who's the mentor, who's the weight-and-mass character, where and when is the second act turning point, etc.) In the 22 years I have been in existence there was until recently only one utterly flawless film in existences and that was "The Shawshank Redemption".
But now this gem of a film must serve alongside the blatant brilliance of "Million Dollar Baby". Unlike most film enthusiasts I did not have the highest expectations of this film seeing as how I was not that big a fan of "Mystic River" so when my buddy convinced me to go I was skeptical. Fifteen minutes in I knew if the film just kept it bearings the result would be metaphorically orgasmic. Everyone from Morgan Freeman to Hilary Swank and Jay Baruchel played the emotionally draining script to a pristine glimmer.
This film is undoubtedly the best film of the year and one of the best I've seen in my entire life. (And I've seen than most.) The acting, directing, script, and plot are all top notch.
Igive this film 15 out of 10!!!!
