The Shawshank Redemption has been in my Top 3 favorite movies
since 1994. I can't tell you how much I love this movie or even
how many times I have watched it over the years. I put this
worlds ahead of classic films like Citizen Kane, Casablanca,
Gone With The Wind, etc...There are so many great things about
this movie that it's hard to list them all, so I will so at the
top. Frank Darabont, there hasn't been a greater directorial
debut for a feature film...ever. Sit down Orson Wells. Not only
does he have an amazing eye for composition and framing his
shots, but the dude knows how to direct his actors and get the
most out of them. I've been a fan of his since and would pay to
watch him direct traffic.
The cast is 100% perfect. I can't think of any other cast that
had every single role cast flawlessly as this one. Tim Robbins,
Morgan Freeman, Bob Gunton, William Sadler, Clancy Brown and
James Whitmore were all brilliant. The screenplay to this day is
one that I always look to for inspiration (along with T2 and The
Breakfast Club), when diving headlong into writing of my own.
The pacing and the editing of TSR is also perfect. There is
never a dull moment to be found through the movie. The first two
acts of the movie is EXACTLY how you do it, because the 3rd
act...the reveal, is one of the most enjoyable and rewarding
experiences a viewer will get.
I will always defend this movie against any naysayers that try
to demean it or say it doesn't warrant the accolades. I do have
issues with so-called "screenplay guru's" that think they know
their sh*t when it comes to writing. As a writer myself, I read
a lot of screenplay books because I'm always curious to see what
the next wave of writers have to say about format, style,
etc...And every time I hear them say that writing Narration is a
cop-out and shows the writer to be weak in the form of
storytelling, I say...Bullsh*t. If that's the case, then I hope
to write weak sh*t like this for the rest of my life. Okay, rant
over.
If you have never seen this one, you owe it to yourself to Buy
it. Buy! Buy! Buy! I have the original DVD release and this
Special Edition release. If they have a 20 Year Anniversary
Special Edition in the works with new stuff, I will gladly
triple dip on this one for sure.

Also have to mention that I love the movie Forrest Gump, but I
will be the first to say that Shawshank Redemption absolutely
owned it as the best movie in 1994 and should have won Best
Picture. Bah! Blasphemous!!!!!!!
