Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (12 May 2002)

This movie is quite simply one of the greatest of all time. I have never felt for characters in a movie like I have in this one. It would have won the Academy Award for best picture if it weren't for Forrest Gump. I love that movie too, however, I think Shawshank is a more enduring movie. It's tale is more about the human spirit, and overcoming probably one of the most difficult situations anyone could ever face.
