the shawshank redemption is epic

Rating: 10/10 (19 March 2011)

hi i'm 14 years old and this movie is my favourite film of all time. everything about it is stunning, the set, the characters, the acting, the story, the directing, the writing, the music - everything was fantastic and complemented the point of the film.
everyttime i watch it, i seem to feel cleansed and happy. a whole lot of people would just say that it is a depressing and boring movie, but when you watch it and understand the plot and watch it through to the end the "redemption" makes you feel "redeemed".
while i probably enjoy a casual simple movie (whether comedy or action etc...) on a rainy day this movie is definitely my favourite. i strongly recommend this to anyone looking for an inspirational (although i'll admit it is a bit weird to be inspired by convicted felons) movie with clever twists and ingenuity. a 10/10 for me
