Definitely one of the Greatest Movies Ever.....

Rating: 10/10 (7 January 2011)

The Shawshank Redemption {1994)
Tag Line: Fear Can Hold You Prisoner, Hope Can Set You Free
Director : Frank Darabont. Cast : Tim Robbins, Morgan Freeman.
This movie is considered to be one of the best movies ever made. Unfortunately, this movie was released in 1994, a year dominated by
1. Forrest Gump
"A 6 Oscar Winner Romantic-Drama directed by 'Robert Jemeckis' starring one of the finest actors ever,'Tom Hanks' who undoubtedly deserved the Oscar. This film still stands in the list of top 50 Highest Grossing Movies with over $650million worldwide gross....
* This is my all time favorite, i must say, being a big fan of Tom Hanks :D " -----------
2. Pulp Fiction
"An Independent Crime-Drama directed by one of the best Screenplay/Script Writer, Quentin Tarantino who got Oscar in the Best Original Screenplay category.
* I still cant see much innovative screenplay than this flick." -----------
3. The Lion King
"An Animated feature film by Disney Pictures, a major financial success with gross revenue of over $750million and stands as the Highest Grossing 2D animation film of all-time." -----------
Due to the heavy financial success of the above three flicks, our topic, The Shawshank Redemption[1994] was unnoticed on its release and became a huge financial disaster. But gained good 'Reviews'(for which a lot of viewers don't care for}. The film gained 7 Oscar/Academy Nominations, but hasn't one any.
* This movie is Undoubtedly 'The Greatest Movie' to have not won an Oscar.
* I cant say that, this is my most favorite, but definitely is one of my Top Favorites.
* I think that this movie deserved 2 Oscars, one for The Best Picture of 1994 and another for Best Director.
PS : If you cant understand this note or you think that this is just some sh*t, just try and watch the movie once. Then, you'll definitely agree with me. :)
