Beautiful, hard and touching

Rating: 10/10 (10 January 2005)

The Shawshank Redemption is my favourite movie of all time. Why? Well as you can see it is third now in the list of IMDb.com top movies ever and is praised by actually everyone i've talked about it and every critic. But that's not me. Everyone can have their say and mine is that big part of this movies high quality comes from the everlasting theme of hope and of the fact that the filmmakers can make you like and even love the characters, though they are murderers, thieves and so on. That is hard to achieve and it is a remarkable mistake not to have honored the best adapted screenplay Oscar to this movie. Best picture also would have been the right choice(though it would have been fun to see Pulp Fiction win). And of course not only the movie's acting is perfect everything else is in it's superb place too. The music, the cinematography etc.
What happens is that, to ME, this movie is perfect. It's got everything a movie need and then some(and more). Maybe you can say it's caused bit of the hype of everyone saying it is such great movie, but I can't deny it's place on example in this list, and nor can I say that it is overrated. So if you haven't seen it(and you propably have) the watch it as soon as you can! You just must...
