What’s amazing is that it didn’t win Best Picture. It was up against Forrest Gump and Pulp Fiction. Tough year, but I think it should have won. If it is on against those two, I will watch it again. The other nominees that year were Quiz Show and Four Weddings and a Funeral. Tough year.
I liked Forrest Gump, couldn’t watch Pulp Fiction (too much nasty language) never saw the other 2 but when push comes to shove I think Shawshank Redemption outshined them all.
The other two are quite good. Pulp Fiction has a gimmicky time line that is only really interesting the first time. Like a lot from Tarantino, it’s a bunch of wild scenes slapped together. Four Weddings and a Funeral is a romcom, but it’s one of the best that genre has to offer. I barely remember Quiz Show, but it was good. Shawshank should have won over Forrest Gump, which was also really good. One of the better years for movies.
