It had been a long time—possibly two decades or more—since I last watched this film, and I’d completely forgotten just how remarkable it is. Everything about it shines, from the acting to the overall execution; Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins were particularly impressive, delivering a truly emotional experience. The screenplay, adapted from Stephen King's novel, and Frank Darabont’s direction are both spot-on and exceptional in every way. This is one of those very few movies I would award a 5-star rating to, and it certainly ranks among the greatest films ever made—I place it alongside classics like The Godfather. **5.0/5**
