Not sure about this. I was expecting something amazing based off the ratings and I would describe it as just OK. The way it's filmed is great but it's a bit boring and the ending is ridiculous.

6/10 from me.
It has good pacing but I agree that the movie was not very compelling outside of the first act. The scene where the kid is asking "what's a ***got?" is a really moving and powerful one, and it was probably what won it the Oscar.

It had it's moments and yeah the first act was probably the best. I don't like films being split into multiple acts though.

If you have any suggestions for actually good films (from whatever era but preferably 90s onward) I'd be open to recs but please don't suggest things that are the Trout Mask Replica of the film world for the sake of it.

The last film I watched and really liked was ET.

lol pretty much every film as 3-4 acts, it's a way to describe general structure. I get what you mean though.

Have you seen In Bruges? I can't recommend that one enough. For TMR watch Eraserhead and The Color of Pomegranates.

I meant the way it's split into chapters and jumps through different stages. Something like Shawshank is like a continuous journey through the story line if you get me.

Probably film terminology that I'm not getting but I'm not really into films so burn me at the stake tbh.

No but I'm not sure it looks like something I'd enjoy.

Ja I get what you mean, just pointing out the terminology. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Act_structure

In Bruges is clever, easy to follow, and dark. It's got murder, chases, fat Americans, midgets, drugs, everything. Just watch it boi, that was my light rec.

But if I haven't convinced you and you want something a little more Shawshanky, maybe Good Will Hunting or Million Dollar Baby are more up your alley.

It's like a refined Guy Ritchie film, if you've ever seen any of those.
