Best movie ever?

Rating: 9/10 (3 June 2013)

First let me say that usually I'm not much into drama. But the beauty of The Shawshank Redemption forced me into watching the whole film four times over the years.
It's the kind of movie that is so powerful and realistic you become glued to your seat until the end. The twist at the end gave the movie a perfect finish without affecting the fine gist of the whole movie. Shawshank Redemption teaches us, improves our feelings about the world and changes our expectations about 'luck'. It shows us what a movie can do.
Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins deliver their best performance ever. It did not sweep the board at the Academy Awards, but that was because of Tom Hank's movie Forrest Gump
