The perfect movie...

Rating: 10/10 (7 December 2004)

I have seen this movie over and over, and I have never been able to find any movie better then this one. Every time I watch this movie I see something new. I would call this perfect. And then 7 Oscar Nominations and the place here at IMDb top 250 speaks for it self I think.
I am gonna give my comment on it anyways.
First of all the movie is based on a novel by Stephen King, one of my favorite writers. Some of his books have become terrible movies, while some of them are classics. Movies like The Green Mile, Stand By Me, The Shining etc, they are all classics, and this one just stand out to be the best of them all.
Secondly the actors. Morgan Freeman who never does a bad job in a movie, and if it wasn't for Forest Gump that came out the same year, I am sure he would have been winning best Actor that year at the Oscars. Same goes for Tim Robbins, another class actor, and here he really is at his best. Actually, I cant find any actor making a bad job in this movie, not even small roles from supporting characters.
The sound track might not be the most exciting, but it for sure really suits the movie, and does not spoil any of the dialogs. The cutting, and the way the movie is filmed is also one of the best I ever seen.
In the beginning there is a court where Andy Duofrense played by Tim Robbins try to claim his innocence after his wife have been murdered. Even if he is innocence all proves against him and he get judged to prison. It all start out with the new prisoners arriving. Andy Duofrense is one of those, and he seem to be one who does not seem to be bothered about being in a prison, cause he walk around like he was a free bird who could leave his cage whenever he wants.
Eventually Andy and Red(Morgan Freeman) becomes friends, and Red is the guy in the prison who can fix everything. So Andy asks Red to fix a poster and a small hammer for him. That is eventually the key to freedom..
There is a lot of lovely scenes in this movie. Like when Andy managed to get his prisoner m8's beer while they are fixing the roof.
I ain't gonna say more about this movie, cause it really is one long lovely story, and you have to see it.
I rate this 10/10, and it is the perfect movie, and the only movie I rated 10!
