The Perfect Film?

Rating: Null/10 (27 March 2001)

This beautiful film from Frank Darabont is an absolute joy to behold. a wonderful blend of drama, warmth, sadness and joy. Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman have never been better, giving performances that should have won the relevant oscars hands down, but they and Frank Darabont(director) were absolutley robbed on Oscar night. This is a film that deserves to be watched again and again.
Let's not forget Thomas Newman's moving score that captures the film's mood perfectly, where you can close your eyes and feel the emotions running through your whole body. This film is also a rarity in that this is probably the best film adaption of a Stephen King story since The Dead Zone.
The Perfect Film? I think perhaps it is.
