The greatest movie ever

Rating: 10/10 (25 May 2011)

Unfortunately, there isn't an option available to give this film a Rating of higher than 10. I remember as a child watching with awe Disney movies like the lion king and Aladdin and used to think it wont Get any better than this. Then as i matured i watched many more movies That again gave me that sense of happiness that i was fortunate enough To be able to experience such great movies in my life time. But quite soon, all these Hollywood movies started to seem quite stereotypical and quite run of the mill stuff. I used to think that Hollywood had lost its magic for me. Then came along this movie which I Watched 15 years after its release. I must admit that i watched it out Of curiosity for its being on the top of the IMDb list. And i was Skeptical of its quality, given the name was not too much of an eye Catcher plus the fact that it did not win any Oscars. How wrong i was! Hollywood has outdone itself once again. I could write a whole book on The greatness of this film, the acting, the direction, the soundtrack .. I mean it doesn't have any action sequences or any romance or Anything of the sort. But it is one of those films that makes you feel Happy inside and yet sad that you may live many more years and watch Tons of movies but never feel the same climax or emotion that you get Out of this movie. I have seen both Forrest gimp and Pulp fiction which Truly are masterpieces on their own, i truly love those movies. But Really, its nothing short of a crime to not award the Shaw-shank Redemption the best movie of the millennium, let alone the best movie of The year. I guess the box office reception of this movie had something To do with it not winning the award. A must watch for anyone having an Iota of emotion and love for artistic work.
