Movie Diary 001:The Shawshank Redemption
Because of Inception, this movie became the third of the greatest movies in the history, and just behind The Shawshank Redemption and The Godfather. When I looked at the top 100 list of the greatest movies, suddenlly I had interest in movies again though I didn't watch movies so continual as before these years.
Maybe i'd better to watch movies as usual, maybe i can finish a movie every night even if i'm too busy. We are human beings just becaust we have spirit. We can touch the beauty, the freedom, the emotion and so on , with our heart. I want these sensations back.
So, first night, I watched The Shawshank Redemption as a beginning.
There're too many reasons to make it become a greatest movie. Even you can't explain it clearly, but you can feel it, touch it. Then I remembered I've read this novel written by Stephen King, it just like a modern edition of The Count of Monte Cristo, a similar story about vengeance and forgiveness. People said too many words about this movie, so I don't want to say andthing more(if i really can).
I just want to say: go to watch it, then be a person with hope through your life.

-->The sentence would sound better if you said " When I saw the list of the top 100 greatest movies, suddenly I became interested in movies again even though I hadn't watched movies continually beforehand."
Maybe i'd better to watch movies as usual, maybe i can finish a movie every night even if i'm too busy.
--> correction: "Maybe it'd be better to watch movies more often, then perhaps I could finish a movie every night...even if i'm too busy." ....."as usual" feels awkward in this sentence and so "often" would be a better word to use, and the second use of the word "maybe" is repetitive so the sentence could flow better :]
