Movie that gets better with each viewing!

Rating: 10/10 (3 September 1999)

First time I saw this, I was blown away. Second time, I was amazed even more. The movie sucks you in and doesn't let you till the awesome end. Morgan Freeman gives one of the best performances I have ever seen as well as Tim Robbins, and the rest of the stellar cast. Hard to believe Morgan started his big screen career 12 years ago. I think if he started acting in Hollywood when he was 20 instead of 50, he would have quite a few Oscars under his belt.
Why does this film get better and better? Probably because you can find new things in each viewing. Knowing what will happen allows you to look around and check out the surroundings. You can see little things that contribute to understanding the story better.
SPOILER ALERT!
The best part? The very end when Andy Dufresne escapes and shows that with determination, that a person can do anything they want including getting away from a prison after digging a hole in the wall for 19 years.
SPOILER END!
Overall, this movie is one of the best of all time. Now I will go back to anticipating The Green Mile with Frank Darabont directing and starring Tom Hanks.
