No equal

Rating: 10/10 (21 January 2005)

This is simply one of the greatest if not "the greatest" movie ever made. It's a beautiful story, presented excellently by Frank Darabont, and brilliant writing in the part of Stephen King.
Even though this is a fictional story, it's so well presented, that you feel like you're a silent character in the film. You are made to feel like your're in the cast. You almost expect your name to appear in the credits. The character development was excellent, from the main characters played by Morgan Freeman, and Tim Robbins, all the way to "the sisters", Although we may not have liked them, we feel that we somehow know them and can relate to their specific plights. However it was done very well, because none of them overshadow the main characters, and the main plot of the film. Undoubtedly a Classic. Should be studied as long as film exists.
