The Best Of The 90's

Rating: 10/10 (25 September 2000)

The Shawshank Redemption is the best film of the 90's. And probably the most beautiful film ever. For a long time I thought Pulp Fiction was the best of the two, but as time goes by I've learned Shawshank is the better.
This is a film that will be remembered and loved for all-time. It doesn't matter if you see this movie today, next week or in 10 years time from now. It will always have this effect on people it has right now. It took a while for audiences to really appreciate this film, because they didn't understand that "hope is a good thing", but knew that "life was like a box of chocolates and didn't know what we're going to get" later that year.
"Hype is a bad thing, maybe the worst of things"
The only bad thing I can think about is the dutch translation for the novel by Stephen King which is "De Ontsnapping" and I'm NOT going to translate it for all those who haven't seen it yet, cause it gives away the final twist.
I hope more and more people will love this film. I hope films like this will be made. I hope
Rating 10/10
