Unforgettable!

Rating: 10/10 (13 November 2010)

The Shawshank Redemption really deserves the number one spot here on IMDb Top 250. This movie is so powerful and has to be in the top five best movies I have ever seen. This and Schindler's List were two movies I have seen in the past few days for the first time. I should have watched them eons ago.
This is about some guy who is wrongfully sent to prison for the murders of his ex wife and her lover. While at prison, he befriends a black prisoner who's been there forever. While their friendship lasts, he makes changes to the prison society.
The acting is powerful. The chemistry between Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins is just marvelous. Morgan Freeman is my favorite actor of all time and I'm starting to like Tim Robbins more and more.
I can't believe this movie didn't take home any Oscars. I thought Forrest Gump is a very good movie and I haven't seen Pulp Fiction yet but this movie beats them all.
Overall, this is a fantastic film. I was moved by the characters. This movie also have several twists so beware of that. I rate this movie 10/10.
