A Sunday evening lesson worth watching
Advantages: A cinematic delight, with a fantastic script
Disadvantages: I cannot think of one
...is fair to say that the Shawshank Redemption is by far, one of the most influential and important films of the late 20th Century. Why do I make such a huge statement....well, simply because I have never seen a film that made me laugh, cry, sigh, wince, scream, gasp and lose my faith in humanity...only to gain it back again at the end. I would say that most people who go to buy this film today would know the premis behind the story, a well to do and ...
...of racism, homosexuality, prison brutality, the abuse of power, the abuse of religion and importantly, how the institutions many of us cherish can end up failing people and being abused. The film is gritty, dark and sometimes humourous. It is so many things. It i sthe kind of film that ne needs to sit down to watch late on a sunday evening....but not too late as it will keep you awake thinking about it. Particularly the ending which is magical. My ...

The moral is outside the box (spoilers)
Advantages: Easy to follow plot and storyline; gets you thinking about life
Disadvantages: Boring standard plot; some annoying characters; slow development
My mum insisted that I watched this, having watched and enjoyed it herself. She informed me it was to do with a female boxer and the thought didn't really appeal to me. Nor would I have even turned it on had I known that the whole thing is based in America with a dominant american 'hilly billy' accent throughout. I don't have anything against American's or their accent; it's just I can't sit and listen to them too long in films, and this film has ...
...is directed by Clint Eastwood and stars the well known Morgan Freeman and Hilary Swank.
This is a romance story with a lots of thoughts about morals thrown in for you to consider. I wouldn't really describe it as a action film, despite the boxing. Plot
I thought the story and plot moved so slowly that it was actually boring. It seems like every scene is just the characters training for boxing or in a boxing arena.
I'll bullet point the plot as ...

"Greatest Civil War Film Ever Made"
Advantages: Stunning performances and unforgettable
Disadvantages: In places historically incaurate
...fight for their freedom"
Glory is without a doubt one of the greatest civil war films ever made. The film follows a black regiment of soldiers (the fifty-forth) through their training and eventually to fighting in the civil war. There is a great line-up of cast members, proving to be some of their greatest on screen roles to date. The film stars Matthew Broderick as col. Robert Gould Shaw along with Denzel Washington, Morgan Freeman and Cary Elwes.
...
...to point out there are several flaws in the films historical accuracy. The most important being, in the film, the fifty fourth are portrayed as the first regiment of black soldier. It is true that they were among the first, but not actually the first black regiment. Along with this most of the slaves who were in the fifty forth had not previously escaped slavery as is portrayed in the film. But most of this can be excused as overall as a result; ...
