A Fantastic film. But definitely not #1

Rating: 9/10 (5 February 2010)

Shawshank Redemption is a fantastic film from the beginning right till the end. It is really beautiful. The direction and script are really superb. The acting of Morgan Freeman is exceptional. If Forrest Gump was made on another year, he would certainly have got an Oscar.
If you want me to describe the movie in one word,I would say, " Beautiful." The story was very good, the storytelling was better. The scriptwriter deserves an applause.
It is one of the best movies I have ever seen. It certainly deserves a spot in the top 250. But having said that, I don't think this movie should be #1. It will be like a disgrace to the movies like Schindler's list and Forrest Gump because those movies really touched my heart. I think Schindler's List and Forrest Gump should come above Shawshank Redemption.
1 thing I forgot to tell you. I liked the dialogue of Morgan Freeman with the parole evaluator. It was absolutely heart touching. This movie has a hidden propaganda. Well, not particularly hidden, anyway. It is about the question of imprisoning people. Should it be done??Do we have the right to do that?? Wouldn't it be better if we try to talk some sense into them?? Or, wouldn't it even be better if we kill them rather than to give them life sentences?? I think I have an answer but that shouldn't be discussed because I think this question will continue to be a moral dilemma of the human community
I really liked that dialogue. Rehabilitated?? Let me tell you something sonny, that word is for politicians so that you can wear a suit and a tie and can have a job. Brilliant. Heart touching.
This movie is an emotional dilemma folded together into an easily understandable story. There is one more thing I need to put here. Most o f the people who have rated this movie # 1 haven't got a clue about this hidden message. They have rated this because of the surprise ending. This is an open criticism.
