Poll Overrated or Nah?: The Shawshank Redemption

[Goldie]

Next up in the series: The Shawshank Redemption

It's currently ranked #2 on the IMDB best movies of alltime list

​

That's fair.

Not too many movies have as many levels as the book like this does....

It tells multiple stories at once and shows the horrors of the prison system without over doing it on the violence which is ironic considering it's Kings work.

It's not my number 2 movie, but I can't argue with it being there...

 

[Chi-Town B]

It's ranked properly, I assume Godfather is ranked #1.

 

[Shaquille Sunflower]

Literally one of the 10 best movies ever made.

 

[Goldie]

Seen it for the first time about a year ago. It's cool, extremely overrated tho.

I once was in a discussion group and we were breaking down the scene where old homie got out of jail and then killed himself.

Basically saying by releasing that man that age was essentially killing him.

Like for people who don't understand institutionalism.... That was one hell of a example...

Then for homie to get the same room when he got free..... And see where he carved his name..... That shit was deep as fuck....

Shit got me wanting to watch it again

 

[Chi-Town B]

I watch this movie everytime I come across it no matter where I come in on it

 

[Old Man Cain]

Goat movie

 

[Chi-Town B]

Seen it for the first time about a year ago. It's cool, extremely overrated tho.

It’s better than Scarface a movie you said was top 3 ever

 

[AP4.0]

It's not my favorite movie of all time but when you consider the story, the acting, the setting... It's a movie that always gets a watch when it's on

I don't care about the number on that list, but if being rated as a good movie is the measure stick then it's properly rated

 

[Goldie]

It’s better than Scarface a movie you said was top 3 ever

There’s thousands of references and quotes of Scarface on movies, musics and shows. Even Snowfall dedicated damn near a whole episode to Scarface.

I know the comic book niggas on here like to try to play Scarface but y’all gotta respect it.

 

[King Freeman]

Should be #1.
