Protraph Lack of good storyline.
Micransix Crappy film

Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
stormhawk2018 Who said Citizen Kane? Who said Casablanca ?. You can keep your mouth shut, because friends, this is the best movie in history. I can't understand how in 1994 a movie (Forrest Gump), also very good but inferior to this one, won several Oscars, including the best film. Also that year was also Pulp Fiction, another that is above Forrest Gump. The fact is "The Shawshank Redemption" has it all. A great script, based on the novel of Stephen King (the best novel of him, without a doubt), a relentless direction like that of Daranbont, a spectacular photograph that is accompanied by an impressive soundtrack, the editing is excellent and the performances are all magnificent, highlighting especially the always brilliant Morgan Freeman. My friends, if you really want to see good movies, do not hesitate to see this movie, you will love it, I loved it and it will remain, at least for many years, my favorite movie.
