Simply Brilliant

Rating: 10/10 (16 April 2006)

If I watch a film and I am unable to look away for one second, to me that means the film is simply brilliant. I could not turn away from the screen when i was watching The Shawshank Redemption and it is a film that you must see. It contains a powerful message and is a very strong film. From start to finish you get right into it and is a tear jerking film in some aspect. The acting is great and Morgan Freeman is as perfect as ever. The reason why I love this film is because the message is powerful and teaches you something important which not many films do. The plot is that a man is wrongly accused of murder and is sent to Shawshank Prison. His dream is then to break out and along the way encounters some heartbreaking moments but fails to fall and continues to fight on.
