The Shawshank Redemption

Rating: 10/10 (4 October 2004)

I struggle to find how people hate this film, it's their opinion and that's fair enough but I can't help but think they hate this film because of it's great reputation!
It probably is the greatest movie of all time. From the screenplay to the direction to the cast right to the Special Edition DVD cover art this film is genius!
So sad that it was overshadowed by two other films that year! I believe it must have been Forrest Gump at the Oscars and Pulp Fiction to the cool dudes! I think if someone can boast seeing Shawshank at the cinema deserves a medal!!!
Frank Darabont, Tim Robbins & Morgan Freeman deserve all the praise they've received since and they've gone on to great careers.
I don't need to go on about the story etc because the majority know how good the film is.
If you haven't watched it where have you been?
