Possibly the greatest film ever made

Rating: 10/10 (14 February 2007)

I first saw this film when it came out in 1994 and unlike what most people may have thought, I loved it. I thought that it should have most definitely taken the Best Picture award over the vastly inferior and vastly overrated Pulp Fiction. This is the kind of film that comes along only once in a lifetime. The story, the gripping performances, the settings, the acting, everything molds together to make such a work of art. This goes beyond film making I believe. I'm having a loss for words to describe this piece of cinematic brilliance.
The best I can say is that you just have to see this for yourself to be able to appreciate its beautiful storytelling and the message it gives you. Watching this movie will give you hope and courage. Courage to get through your everyday life. To overcome any obstacles you may encounter on your path in life. This movie is simply this powerful. Rent it or better yet, buy it now and witness for yourself why this is #2 on the top 250 list. Personally, it's #1 for me and a lot of others.
