Perfect Film!

Rating: 10/10 (21 February 2008)

There's just something about the way this movie is made that makes it a perfect film. Maybe its the dialouge, or the acting, or the music, or the cinematography. Whatever the case may be, the point is this, this film is perfect! Whether your 15 or 80, this movie should deeply movie you. I know that I was when I first saw it. I don't remember the exact age I was when I saw it, but I do remember how much this film made me care about the life I have today.
This Film is a personal favorite of mine, not just because of what a great film it is, but because it's a film my father and I have seen over 200 times together. The film really analyzes the bond between two friends and that's how I see my father and I.
This film is absolutely brilliant. Morgan Freeman's best performance. I think the music and the cinematography go VERY unnoticed in the film, I thought they were both brilliant. This film is perfect in every sense of the word and I believe should've won the Oscar for best picture over 'Forrest Gump'(even though I truly loved this film).
If you haven't already seen 'The Shawshank Redemption' please do yourself a favor, go to your local videostore, spend the seven dollars and watch it. Its worth every penny.
This film is a true American classic.
