A flawless masterpiece? I'd say so.

Rating: 10/10 (23 September 2006)

I watched the Shawshank Redemption.
I went on to the message board seeing many threads about it being overrated. I told myself that I shouldn't be surprised since it is Number 2 on the Top 250, quite an honor indeed.
So times passes...and I think about it. I see the movie again on Showtime, a movie channel.
...and after it is over for a second time, I think, "This movie is flawless." The acting, the direction, the pace, the adaption, the music, the set, the cinematography, the script...flawless? This is what I was telling myself.
This is a claim that I, myself, think is pretty crazy...but I think the reason the Shawshank Redemption is looked down upon is because it is flawless.
And even if that isn't true, that is how I feel about it.
10/10.
