I thought I would be jaded enough to be subdued by knowing some of the iconic plot devices, but here I am teary eyed at the end of what was a masterful film.

Intense, interesting, delicate, raw, funny at times and so rich in heart due to Morgan Freeman's Narration, the writing and Robbins' charisma. This was and is a must watch that I avoided due to feeling like I'd didn't need to watch, but I am so glad I did.

One of the most iconic films for a reason.
