Just a Beautiful Long Experience

Rating: 10/10 (20 February 2014)

Whenever i see Shawshank Redemption at the top of the IMDb top 250, it gives such a beautiful experience. When i just started following good movies, and seeing this movie at the top, i watched it. well i liked this one in the first. but a whole world has turned around. I have watched whole lot of movies, that varies from that of Hollywood to other world movies which are just great. But still till present, Shawshank has not lost any of its aura. it is a beautiful experience watching this movie. many would review this movie as over-hyped, overrated and all. i think they are just trying to describe cinematic experience, but this movie is a Life experience. So that is a point where they differ. The one who says Shawshank is overrated, might not say the same about The Green Mile(same director and author). I have always admired the works of Stephen king, but his works just seemed too much for movies. Even Stanley Kubrick couldn't quite actually cover The Shining. We had to wait until Frank Darabont to get a good portrayal of king's work. and the wait was finally worth it. The green mile is the next, though it isn't as much high on the rating as this one. Just i think this movie was one of many which increased my interest in watching movies. And about the Top position in IMDb, it is absolutely worth it.
