Having run into the cinematographic crisis known as “nothing to watch” together with my loved one, we decided to go through the Top 250 list in order. We’ll only skip films that both of us have seen and not too long ago — like “Inception”, for example. Yesterday we watched the first one — “The Shawshank Redemption”. I had seen it before and I disagree that the film deserves the top spot, but my wife unexpectedly enjoyed it. The movie is long, the plot unfolds slowly, so eventually I fell asleep while my loved one watched it through to the end. That is an undeniable plus of the film, since usually it happens the other way around :)
